  • Re: Turkey stuffing

     I make homemade cornbread and sage dressing.  My family laughs at me.  I can make a near perfect dressing from scratch w/o a recipe.  I cannot cook a boxed dressing to save my life.

  • Re: Holiday crafts & cats

     We buy plastic ornaments.  They look just like the highly breakable glass ones but the cats can bat to their hearts content and the kids can pick them up to replace them and not break a thing.

  • Re: Need suggestions desperately!

     Are we married to the same guy?  I finally got it across to DH.  Putting him on a budget (he had to fill out the reports if he wanted HIS money back in HIS pocket).  I also kept reminding him how much X cost if it hung over with interest.  "That $40 meal is now $45 with cc interest.  That meal is up to $50 ...

  • Re: Building a winter wardrobe from scratch...ideas please!

     That is going to depend upon where she will be living. My wardrobe is nothing like it would be if I lived in Washington state or Houston, TX.  Climate varies greatly.

  • Re: Cinnamonhuskies........a question for you

  • Re: how to whiten lingerie fabric?

     "Pretty" whites actually have blue dye added to them.  After a few washing the blue washes out and they start looking dingy or even yellow.  You can pick up a bottle of bluing in the laundry area.  You just add a couple drops to the rinse water.

  • Re: Do you make Ambrosia for the holiday

     Only if we are having a house full of people.  It is one of those meal "stretcher" items rather than the main event.  If we have a small gathering I won't make it unless my brother is coming (who loves it).  The rest of us won't miss it.

  • Re: How do you manage christmas and keep it fair and equal?

     My kids are close in age and we try to keep things as equal as possible.  Santa brings 1 gift for each child (usually a big gift - this year a wii game for each).  Mom and Dad do practical needs (jammies, sleeping bags, clothes).  Money cards from relatives are used on what the kids want.
