Paula, my Grandmother's sister made biscuits out of sweet potatoes, and they were extraordinary. She died in 1968 and I can only dream about them now. Do you have a recipe?

Let's see - carry 5, subtract 2, multiply by 85%, add.... doing income taxes. Did you know that when you officially become a seasoned citizen, it takes longer to do your taxes? I used to just write in a few figures and put a stamp on it. Now I had to fill out 3 worksheets. And we aren't even into our IRA's yet and have no real estate taxes! Guess they figure you have had all these years to test for this!
Weather - it has "sprinkled" snow all day - and the sun shone like mad for awhile. Maybe 1-3 more tonite - so far all "broomable". 42 degrees on Sat! If not windy - will be able to unbutton fur.
Sweet potato biscuits - Google "sweet potato biscuits" and you get a recipe from Paula Deen! Can't beat that - even with a stick!
Back to taxes!

cherokee woman Good Monday morning, everyone. We're at 20 degrees this morning, with a 'dusting' of snow. Funny (weird, since the ground is totally covered). Supposed to get up to 32 F today, then the snow comes in full force, around 10, 11 tonight. Have some school closings and two hour delays, except for here in Jefferson County. They are open, and on time. Coffee, juices (oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple, apple, grape), hot chocolate, hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, oatmeal, grits, toast, bagels and bear claws. Well, we'll probably have to put out some rock salt this afternoon, on the front section of our sidewalk. When I put it out the other day, that one section was totally clear and dry, so I just left that section alone. Roy, you will receive your meal requests tomorrow (Tuesday), especially since it will be your birthday! Everyone have a good morning, stay warm, and safe and take care.

'evening, all. Another, as usual, different day. Instead of walking this morning, I ran my snow thrower--not much snow, but it was quicker than shoveling.
Ray, you never can tell when you will step on ice, even in broad daylight. Four years ago, I was out walking (for my health, of course). I had come upon fresh patches of snow on the sidewalk here and there, and I had been able to continue at my usual pace (I am down some from my 4 mph of college days)--until I stepped on what looked to be the same, but there was ice under a thin layer of snow. I turned my ankle, and hobbled home. It took about two weeks for it to get back to normal. I managed to keep my work up (forklift, deskwork, handling gas cylinders, etc.), though I had to use use a cane to get around. You be careful, and try not to break anything.
Paula, thanks for the grits. Put a chunk of breadspread on the grits, let it melt, stir it in--yummm! That is pork sausage, isn't it? I don't mind if it is a little bit hot.
I went back to the doctor this morning to learn the findings from the blood I gave last week; I do not need to make any changes in my living; thanks be to God.

Do not get me started on the FREAKING IRS 1040A forms. Of course with what my wife just found out next year I get an EXTRA grand added to the return however does not help me right now at all. She has been feeling bad and so she took an EPT tonight sucker gave 2 lines so fast I thought the test was defective so she took the back up did the same thing. I guess it is positive then.
grampaw pettibonePaula, my Grandmother's sister made biscuits out of sweet potatoes, and they were extraordinary. She died in 1968 and I can only dream about them now. Do you have a recipe?
Tom, I've never heard of sweet potato biscuits; but I'll find a recipe and make you some.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Every school system around our area, and some businesses are CLOSED. We already have 3 1/2 inches of snow, and more coming, between now and 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. I haven't heard any vehicles going by the house. Hopefully, Tuesday Produce/Dare to Care will be closed.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot water for tea, and whatever else you want to drink this morning (i.e. mudchicken's Diet Dew), are ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: toast, oatmeal, grits, turkey bacon, pork sausage (links & patties), scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels, bear claws and blueberry muffins.
Roy (Piouslion), HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope it will be a very, very good birthday. May all your wishes come true, and the best of luck to you today.
Everyone have a good morning, be careful, and take care.
Thanks Paula. I look forward to that! 41 degrees in Carolina this morning. See ya later
good morning
matt is on time and on the bus this morning.might be a different story tommorow.weather guessers are saying 3-5 inches of snow but it depends where it tracks.paula thanks for breakfast.at least you have snow and not ice..Roy from us here in nw ohio.Time for a nap.
.....I don't know where the storm is located now....But I can see we got just about a half inch over night as it must have passed this area...20 degrees right now. So don't know what is next. We were to be on just the edge of this one passing by on the south and that looks pretty much what happened but now must check reports and radar what's next.

Looks like a pretty average winter day here - temps in the low 20's, possible snow. Nothing we can't live with.
Was looking for a picture last night - found everything but, but found lots of other interesting pictures, too!
Maybe it was a slide. That's another box altogether!
I see my bearclaw is ready on the grill.

Morning;
Roy, and Many, Many More!
We've got about 4" of snow now, the only tracks on our
sidewalk apparently were made by the paper carrier earlier,
and they're almost covered up now. Snow plow Just went
past the house, people still seem to be driving more carefully
than normal.
Joe, very glad we don't have the ice also; but, that's supposed
to come later in the day.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Thanks for the good eats CW. I'll trade you some of our "Winter Air" for your snow. I'm finally tired of winter...
Happy Birthday Roy! Many returns.
A week ago this morning I tore the Gastrocnemius (calf) muscle in my right leg (6 months ago it was a tendon in my left leg) so I'm back on crutches. ARGH! At least the estimated healing time is only 3.5 more weeks versus 4-6 months with the tendon! The process is going fairly quickly as I've been supplementing with extra protein, potassium, and calcium. Walking on level ground is tolerable in short distances but stairs (up/down) still give me fits and I can't put much weight on the leg yet.
I recently came into possession of a large quantity of vinyl records and have no use for 'em. I think my next project will be to see what they're worth and eBay 'em!
Back later y'all...

Happy birthday, PL. Many happy returns of the day. Well, the temp went up to 40 and has dropped back to 37. It's supposed to top out at 51, but we seem to be going the other way at present. CW, thanks for breakfast and everybody have a great day.
Well, at 10:08, we have 27 degrees, and no freezing rain: yet. And only one person came and rang the doorbell a little after 9 this morning. I'm in the kitchen, starting work on Roy's birthday dinner menu. I'll be back in a couple of hours, and post the entire menu for today.
Happy Birthday Gentleman Roy. To the resident lion from the resident cat.
Dan.....at this rate you won't have a leg to stand on. (that is bad, even for me)
Wow - east and south of us is a mess. We keep getting the sprinkly snow but little accumulation. Most people will wait until Wed to shovel a little and then the sun will take care of the rest.
Tree - I gave all my pictures to my daughter. I never really ever looked at them, so thought she and her family should have them - for posterity.
I heard from Willy - his mom had successful hip surgery. She is doing well and should be home very soon.
And Houston is sick. His sniffer is in trouble. Sigh. This winter can't get over soon enough.
Off to do damage to something -
SJ, did you finish your taxes? You could insert a dead mouse or something.
Happy birthday, Roy!
We haven't had any significant snow for over a week. No significant thawing, though, either. Maybe sending the big storms to the south of us is part of the Change America Needs--let someone else have it for a while. Less than a week to Ground Hog Day!
Willy informed me that he's thinking about feeding his mother some Arby's to help her recover--kind of beef things up, I guess
Re: Houston. That's what he gets for standing outside and posing in the white stuff a while back. This too shall pass!

Sun's shining right now (I'm sure the son's shining, too, but that would be the chrome on a fire truck). Still cool out though.
Ms Mook - my picture "collection" is anything but organized - what I went through last night was just one drawer. Went through the other one a week or two ago and found some pictures of my kids when they were young. Since one already has a baby and the other will in April, I figured I'd add to the "they look just like" speculation.
That speculation got a dose of reality when Mom brought along a decoupaged picture of my son on her visit. DIL looked at the picture and wondered aloud when it had been taken, thinking it was of my granddaughter. Surprise!
I'm still looking for some pictures of what used to be a local roundhouse. I'm thinking I may have taken them during my "slide" period, so I have to dig some more.
Here is the menu for today: snowshoe chicken, green beans, carrots, mashed taters, milk gravy & homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Desserts: lemon icebox pie, chocolate cake, and apple cobbler.
Getting a little bit of sleet now, supposed to get several inches more snow later on.
Thanks for the lunch, Paula.
CNW6000, whatever you have been doing, STOP IT! When your legs go, you can’t go. My next door neighbor has not been able to walk for some time now, and he and his wife are looking for a house with all the main rooms on one level. Their house, like ours, is a "split level"–the living room and kitchen are on the entry level, with bedrooms and a bathroom a half-flight up, and other rooms a half-flight down.
Roy, may today come back to you many more times, with joy each time. My grandfather would wish me "Many happy returns," and I could not figure it out–until many years laterI realized he meant what I wished you.
Tom, has your foot gotten over whatever it was that needed a soaking?
Ray, I hope you are feeling better today.
Well I grab a plate with everything and sit down.
However I hear my cell ring answer it and loose my appeitte. I just found out that around my Bday in September I will be getting a very Special Birthday Present however it is the kind that takes 9 months to get here akak a new baby. My wife has not been feeling well recently we thought it was the flu GUESS NOT.
Ed and Mrs. Ed: Congratulations! That's a nice flu to have!
Snow has started here.Most of it the weather guessers say will fall east of I-75.Cw thanks for supper.Mr + Mrs Ed congratulations.Time to get things ready for work.Larry as for pictures my archives are really full.
And snow has resumed falling here again about 3 hours ago after delivering about a half inch to us over night.
Believe we can expect 2 to 4" of the new stuff thru tomorrow morning from what they are forecasing. Low 20's temps now. Very light wind.
Oh, to be back in Tampa, FL again, was about 80 degrees down there yesterday at Yuengling Brewing Co, was getting a load of keg beer for a customer here in Agusta, GA. Will reload tomorrow with scrap paper for Barton, AL (up around the Muscle Shoals area, NW corner.).
Had fun this morning running through the Okefenokee Swamp at 4am in the dark, Amazing that they put the Florida weigh and inspection station in the middle of the swamp. Was trying to figure out what the light was up ahead, then found the sign. That road (US441) you can literally travel 20+ miles, and not see a single thing. Didn't see any gators, either.....
Will sit in the corner for a bit, sippin' on a soda.....

Mr. & Mrs. E. Benton, congratulations!! That will be a most wonderful birthday present for you, Ed, come September!!
We had sleet earlier, and now I we're getting freezing rain. Supposed to be getting more snow later on tonight, overnight.
Walt and Sarah got outside this afternoon and shoveled the steps and sidewalks. I didn't get out today, except to step out on the front porch. Been doing more laundry today. Still have one or two small loads to do tomorrow.
On the warmer bar, you'll find fresh snowshoe chicken, side dishes, and plenty of the desserts left for at least tomorrow.
Everyone have a good evening, enjoy your supper, and, if you have to go out tonight, please take care and be safe!!
To all in the forum, I thank you very much for your kind greetings on this my 57th day out from birth.
I got to work this morning and some very thoughtful people had put a bottle of Heinz 57 sauce on my desk to make the point.
Miss Paula, thank you very much for the snowshoe chicken and the follow up with the Lemon Ice box pie. You have a way with the food I must say with no hyperolly is worthy of note to any hungry person.
Mookie, a roar of good wishes returned to you from the cave in NC to your place in the den where the cats all know a cool thing or two about life and the good things that come with it.
And fellas, no greater greeting can come from those who we share the journey with here in the forum.
Thank you all very much.

That's part of the reason we hang around, Roy. The word is fraternity. Mr Ed, congrats on the happy news and all the best for the missus on this happy day. Houston, keep out of the cold till you get over the miseries. Everyone take care and stay warm
