Sorry, Mookie, but I may have to nominate your admission that you like Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CDs as Most Surprising Revelation by an Otherwise Highly Respected Member of the Forum. My sister subjects me to them all the time. I would rather have dental surgery.

Chicken sounds good for supper.
stay safe

[Mookie]

Yum! Egg Salad - Chicken Salad - both favorites of mine. Now there's a shocker!

Love Fried Rice...but have to pass - going to office Xmas party - and guess what - they are offering chicken! You gotta love it!

Doing a White Elephant - my contribution is a bottle of wine (Driver buys it every year and every year ends up never opening it. Suppose that is age? Want something and then forget why you wanted it?)

And a Mannheim Steamroller CD. It is pretty much a duplicate of all the previous ones and I am not enthralled with it like I am the other CD's. I LOVE their Xmas CD's. So will put a note in the bag (anonymous of course) that the recipient has to take the donor home with him/her! Should drive them crazy trying to find the donor! [}:)]

[cherokee woman]

tuna, egg salad, BLTs, bologna, ham, turkey, pickle loaf, liver loaf,
etc.

fried rice (beef, chicken, pork).

I guess they must have run the Eatons out of England at about the same time. My branch apparently drifted south. I don't know where Cyrus came from. I suppose I could say my ancestors disdained wealth and fame for the simple life. Darnit!

[jkeaton]

Hi, jeaton,

Thanks for the welcome - but there are a lot of Eaton families in North America, and I'm not one of the wealthy (the "Department Store Eatons", as they're known here). My folks came from England to Massachusetts, then to Nova Scotia about 1750 - mostly farmers and soldiers.

In railroad terms, the "Department Store Eatons" are mostly famous for the luxury of their private railway cars in the early 20th century. Their mail-order catalog also sold a lot of model trains - Lionel AND Hornby!

But if you're an American Eaton, perhaps you're related to Cyrus Eaton who once owned a vast chunk of the NYC and US Steel?

Lucky guy, can't even get my wife to toy with me anymoe. Hell, I'd probably fall asleep anyhow.
Randy

[cherokee woman]

Morning, everybody. Sorry I'm late again. Seems like after I fall asleep at
night, in the mornings I just can't wake up until 7-8:00. Will get breakfast
going here. Breakfast will be: oatmea (maple & brown sugar and regular
oatmeal with choice of plain toast, buttered toast or cinnamon toast,
bacon and eggs. Hands are numb from making the loco-shaped cake.
so breakfast is not something to be too creative with this morning.

Mookie, PLEASE make my day and "toy" with Sterling 1 all you want!!

[Mookie]

Wow! I found a Sterling1 in the diner. Going to toy with it awhile and - well thought of burying it in the backyard, but it would probably like that. So will have to toy and think....

No fur, no feathers....interesting...

[Sterling1]

And I lost my brakes some where in Georgia a long time ago . . .

If you want to vote me as a foolish idiot in this particular forum, go ahead, I'd blame it on lack of seeing enough trains in weeks. . .

Thanks to the staff here for the delicious rib dinner held over from yesterday at my request (tasted just like the stuff I get at the local barbecue place--with baked beans, coleslaw, steak fries, and Texas toast [;)])! Sorry I could only do justice to a half slab. My wife says the barbecued pork sandwich was great, too!

I'm a little more lucid today. There are lots of things that happened to me yesterday that I have no memory of whatsoever!

Chessie Awards?
What's that . . .

[cherokee woman]

Watch it, espeefoamer: I think Mookie, Matt and I will give you a run for
your money when it comes to eating the chocolate cakes here. Beside, when I
bring in that train shaped cake, it will be heavily guarded by Larry and
Walt (sorry fellas, I'm putting you on guard duty without asking you
first). We'll all have to wait to eat it until AFTER Dan gives out
the awards.

And did you get some of the split pea soup for supper tonight? Made a
pot this afternoon.

[espeefoamer]

I am always available to help (especially chocolate) cakes disapear[}:)][dinner]!

[Junctionfan]

Not me.......I was created by my parents.

Ya I know; silly joke....

[jeaton]

Most interesting news about the commuter service plan for Albuquerque. Having recently been out that way, I can see where that might offer a nice option to the rush hour commute on I 25. Think I'll search the net for more details.

jkeaton (Jim). Welcome to the diner. Best virtual food on th planet. Since you are from Canada and assuming you last name is Eaton means that you are from the more prosperous Canadian branch. My side landed in South Carolina and I don't think got any farther than Northern Wisconsin. So it goes...

Jay

[JoeKoh]

Cw
be careful cakes have a way of disappearing around here.(especially chocolate ones!!)
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

And I'll make a cake in the shape of a locomotive. I've got a train-shaped
cake pan. The cake will be chocolate, of course.

[espeefoamer]

Chessie will bring tuna pate for snacks[:)].

[JoeKoh]

Hmmm.. chessie awards. will need to find the red floor mat for that.have to borrow a steam cleaner to get some food stains out.
stay safe

[espeefoamer]

No we didn't. We were created by God!

Of course, we aren't too far removed; we supposedly came from the apes,
didn't we?[}:)] [;)]

During the dog's annual encounter with fall allergies I played on her love of cheese - one Benadryl, wrapped in sliced cheese disappears immediately. She now thinks Benadryl is a dairy product...[;)]

Let's see - Benadryl for dog, Pepto Bismo for dog, Pepto Bismo for cat, Metamucil for cat......maybe we aren't too far removed from the animal kingdom.....
