Sheesh - 10+ hours on the road. At least once I got south of Binghampton the roads mostly dried out, although I did hit squalls all the way down.
Supper out of the way (good stuff!) and I'm dead tired. 'Nite, all!

I'm around. If you'd like some snow, wait for next weekend. You could have a pretty decent chance at it then. It looks like a big storm system will move from the central plains to the Great Lakes and that would be your chance. I'll keep you updated.

Okay, I've got the next pork tenderloin in the oven, and it will be ready at 6:30, so I'm hoping we'll have more in here tonight to eat!! And, of course, we can discuss anything and everything, especially trains. No one has to go out to the garden, to sit and discuss/talk trains, and watch the trains go by. Although, that is nice when it's warm outside.
I'm wondering how many of our patrons will be around tomorrow, with the PRESIDENT'S DAY HOLIDAY tomorrow.

Good late morning everyone.
By the way, today is Chinese New Year (Year 4705, the Year of the Pig). Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone on this forum!
Good afternoon, folks. As promised, I'm back and have fixed Sunday Dinner.
On the menu today: Boneless pork tenderloin roast, with roasted potatoes, and carrots, along with homemade dinner rolls and crescent rolls, cole slaw, garden salad, and for dessert: pecan rolls, chocolate cake, yellow cake w/cherry frosting, and apple cobbler.
There is another pork tenderloin roast, ready to be put in the oven around 5 p.m. for supper tonight.
Larry, have a safe trip to Virginia, and take care.

On Saturday, when you're going to be nearing 70 degrees, we might be preparing for a snowstorm here in Omaha. There's a pretty interesting storm system in the offing that looks like it has great potential for sever weather in the southern states and rain changing to snow up here in Nebraska and Iowa. There is never a dull moment when it comes to weather.
Currently, the weather conditions for Louisville, Kentucky are:
Partly cloudy skys with a temperature of 18 degrees F. The wind is out of the West at 10 mph, making for a wind chill of 7 degrees above 0. Snow flurries are expected for the Louisville area this afternoon and the temp will max out at 28 degrees.

Good Sunday morning to all! Ray, thanks for making coffee, juice and hot chocolate this morning. And the breakfast menu looks good this morning. Think I'll start with a cinnamon roll, then go on to a couple of biscuits w/gravy on them, with a slice of ham.
I haven't heard what out current outdoor temp or windchill is this morning. I've only been up about a half hour, so have missed the updates this morning. But I'm thinking we're supposed to get either to or just above the freezing mark today.
See everyone in a little bit, and I'll be posting the Sunday Dinner menu.
Everyone take care.
...We have a calm morning here in Muncie.....Calm winds, and a bit over 12 degrees and it doesn't feel too bad out right now. Just retrieved the Sunday paper out of the mail box and didn't feel too bad. Maybe I'm getting used to it.
Had a 2" freshening of our snow yesterday as a fast moving system came through here from the high plains. It's gone and the sun is peaking through a skimmer of clouds right now and looks like the day won't be too bad.
Anyway, we'll be watching {this afternoon}, the sunshine weather down at Daytona Beach for the running of the annual Daytona 500.
But church first.
Ahhhhh..... good Sunday Morning everyone.

A good Sunday morning to everyone out there. I've got some fresh coffee brewing and the orange juice is ready for pouring, and for anyone who wants hot chocolate, there's a steaming hot pot of it on the counter here. I've baked two pans of cinnamon rolls and you'd best grab one while they are still warm - also, there is plenty of spreadably soft butter here for my cinnamon rolls.
Breakfast this morning will consist of; bisquits & gravy, sliced ham, scrambled eggs, ham & cheese omlets, buttermilk pancakes, bacon, pork sausage links and bananna nut muffins.
We have 20 degrees here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and it is supposed to warm up to about 26 degrees later this afternoon. That will seem like a heat wave!

It's supposed to hit the 60's in VA this week, and that's were I'm gonna be. Hopefully I'll be able to get on-line while I'm there. If not, I'll be back in on Friday.
Later!
Netscape browsers around the world have taken a bellyflop the past few days, including mine. It has made web-browsing a real pain in the rear. And that includes participating in this forum. I have had to move to Firefox, but I am so doggone used to all of the customizations and settings that I had with Netscape.
The good part about today was sunbathing this afternoon. Whew! If it gets any hotter, I'm not sure what to do - the air conditioner was running at full blast!!!

Nightrain, glad to hear you enjoyed your baby shower. I'm with you: whether it's a baby shower, bridal/wedding shower, I think both man and woman should be in attendance, if they both want to. Some men actually enjoy the showers, and have even done extremely well in the games that are played at them.
Mutt was right: all the other pizzas he listed are on the regular menu. Sometimes, I just forget to include them on the Saturday Night Pizza menu.
Well, Sarah and I just got home about 45 min. to an hour ago. Looks like the east end of town got all the snow. When we came out of the mall, it was coming down in BIG flakes. The closer we got to our end of town, the smaller the flakes got. But people were driving sensibly (for a change, around here), and we didn't see any fender benders along the way.
Hope everyone's had a great day, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Nightrain, the Pepperoni Lover's Pizza is on the"regular menu",along with a couple
others not mentioned; such as Goetta & Canadian Bacon, (with others) some times
they don't get put on the "Special Menu."
(anchovies aren't even on the regular menu, I think someone "Bribed" the Cook to have it done so
many times!!!! )
I've been to a few of those "Baby Showers" over the years, and in my honest opinion,
they are not at ALL conducive to the males that might be in attendence!!
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!!
Well, just got an excited call from my daughter. She and her husband were given tickets to today's Syracuse/UConn game at the Dome. Much to their surprise, they found themselves "on the floor," four rows back from the court... Game's on ABC - VCR primed and ready to record.
I'm not sure where on the court, I'll be looking for them, too...
Going ahead and posting our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST menu early. Sarah and I are getting ready to go grocery shopping, and with Saturday traffic, I figured we wouldn't be back in time. So, here's the menu for tonight:
1. Cheese2. Chicago Style3. Hawaiian4. Supreme5. Anchovie
For dessert tonight, I'll bring back some big, hungry-man size cinnamon rolls from Whole Foods. They have about THE BEST cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten!
Don't worry, Spokeyone Bob, I usually put extra sauce on every pizza I make. I love it oozing with sauce.
