Rathbone: Eggs for Hatching, Eggs for Eating, Eggs, Eggs, Eggs

[Dawn419]

I just saw that you hail from "Evening Shade Ark" - is that really the name of the town or is that what you call it in your heart? Love that.

That's the actual name of the town and apparently so popular in this state that there are actually three communities with the name. Ours is in Sharp County, one is in Hempstead Co. and the other is in Scott Co..

Rathbone: The List of Deliciousness

Well I am tuckered. Had to take seniors to Las Vegas to visit a college. I love it but...tired, oh, so, very tired. I hope to have a VERY restful three day weekend. One that includes lots of baking and eating.

My sons have begun to talk about writing to Santa. Once child prattles on about different toys. The other, well let's just say he is a fat boy at heart (skinny in reality). Every time he talks about what Santa might bring, he talks about food. Now I don't know about any of you, but he is the only child I have ever heard of that asked for "Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce" for a Christmas present. And steaks. He would also like steaks for Christmas.
So I told him to make a list of all the things he wishes he could be eating. He made a list and entitled it "The List of Deliciousness". I am going to try to make him something off the list each weekend. We will see if that satisfies his inner fat boy.


HHPR - Hilarious!

I grew up just outside a small town on the California Central Coast - Carmel-by-the-Sea - and, within the town limits there are no house numbers. All the houses have names, and to direct someone to your house you might say it is the green house on San Antonio between 11th and 12th, named "Sea View". Though we lived outside the town limits, and had a house number, our house, and most others, also had a name. Oh, and, in town, there is no mail delivery - the locals make their way to the post office to pick up their mail. I think that some people have tried to get delivery started, but most people like the daily walk, and chatting with their friends at the Post Office, so it always gets voted down.

Rathbone, that "list of deliciousness " is a great idea!! And, for you to try to make one thing from the list every weekend?? Outstanding!! What great memories you will have to share, make sure you put laminate on that list, and put it in the family album.

The house I grew up in was called Seven Oaks. The city had a tree planting project wayyyyy back in the 50's, and gave away small oaks to plant near the streets. It had 6 oaks going around the corner and 1 in the back yard, so that name was pretty obvious.

One of the oaks had to be removed after Hurricane Charlie hurt it, but the name stuck cause "6 Oaks and a Tangerine tree" just doesn't sound as good.

btw- this was a normal house- not some mansion.

Our house told us to call it RAVENCROFT. Funny thing is, before we started calling it that, I never saw ravens around here, but now I do.

I think our son would love to make up a "List of Deliciousness" too. Everytime he calls us, he tells me how much he misses my cooking.

Awwww...you have a budding chef sounds like. How old is he? That is so cool when kids can be interested in things besides their usual things. I taught all of mine to cook..starting from when they were old enough to read and understand the microwave. Then, they graduated to stove top. As teens, I taught them grilling and wox, as those are the most dangerous.

Wox? What's that?
