Hey Rez!

Hi Daisy! Great to hear you and hubby are keeping the quit! :)

I don't know if I can make it tonight. :( Playing taxi driver this evening for six kids. I'll try to pop in later. Action, Tracey and our other UK friends, you'll have to stay up late tonight so I can say hi before you go to bed!

Now what will you throw at all of us monkeys when we get out of hand? :)

Hey Marcus and that cool dog! I love that dog! :)

Hi Fay! :)

Behind schedule as usual! At least, I don't have to take those extra minutes to smoke and put myself even further behind! Happy Friday, Quitters!! :)

Hi sweet and pretty, Lynn! :)

Gorgeous!

No smoking for me today! :) TGIF Quitters!

YAY Marti!!!!

I don't know all of the background with you that MQ does, but I would love to see you succeed, Juan. You are young and attractive. Smoking is not attractive. Once you become secure in your quit, you will feel so much stronger both physically and mentally. I believe you said you were looking for a job (or maybe that was DeltaWings). I believe once you stop smoking, you will have so much more self-confidence and positivity, which will help your job search . You can do this. Embrace the suck as The Sarge would say. Chin up, head held high, a big smile on your face knowing you will beat the nicodemon down.

Wiley - you crazy tooth bushing shark! I mean, coyote!

It wouldn't be the same without Scottinpa! :) Now, about that calendar....... (jk)

WOOT WOOT!!!! I LOVE POSITIVITY!

Yes, exactly. :)

Hey Joe, Hey Joe!!!! So happy you are here! :)

Hello Pretty Gem, my fellow wine lover! :)

I'm wondering if it is possible or can be made possible to tag someone. I'm sure you know what that means, but to clarify, let's say I'm in the Crock Pot thread and I mention Nancy's name cuz I know she has some great crock pot recipes. I'd like to be able to tag her so that she knows I mentioned her and can maybe add more to that particular conversation. Maybe we can try it if this feature is available, and if it gets annoying or people don't like it Admin can turn it off???

I haven't made this before, so I have no idea if it is good or bad. I can tell you that recipes from this source have been pretty tasty, but slightly on the bland side - kinda missing that POP or Zing of flavor, but still yummy. :) Ginger-Orange Beef Roast Prep Cook Total 10m 7h 7h 10m 2½ lb boneless top round beef roast 1 sweet onion, sliced 1 cup all-natural orange marmalade ½ cup reduced-sodium beef broth 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro Place roast in a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker coated with cooking spray; top with onion slices. Whisk together marmalade, broth, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic; pour over roast. Cover and cook on Low 7 hours or until tender; sprinkle with cilantro just before serving. --------------------------------------------------------------- Serve with Roasted Sesame Vegetables 2 (12-oz) packages fresh steam-in-bag cauliflower and broccoli mix 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss vegetables, olive oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray; spread in a single layer. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned and tender. Sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving. Serve vegetables with roast. Sha-Zam

Armed with bananas to keep all of us crazy monkeys at bay! :)

Fashionably late. :)

Burger King - cuz they char broil their hamburgers and they put mayo on them. :) Flip flops or sandals
