Yummmm....

Large batch grilled cheese-butter outside of bread, layer with your preferred cheese (real cheese!), mayonnaise, and any other good things. Bake on parchment on flat sheet in the oven @425 for about 7 minutes, flip them over and cook another 5 to 7. Perfect!

Pay more attention to your money! When you buy your first house with a basement suite, keep it, don't sell it to finance your next one. Don't buy a horse with your student loan..... Speak up for yourself. And, life is short, enjoy every moment-even if it means trying to get joy out of vaccuming (I c...

Interesting mix! I really like the approach of everyone walking up the driveway together, instead of showing up in dark private limos. I do hope it truly signals a new era in "open-ness" in government, but time will tell. And.... A first nations person as minister of justice! Wow, consider...

Here's a tangent idea to living wage that I was blown away by when I first heard it on the radio.. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-thursday-edition-1.3074402/medicine-hat-becomes-the-first-city-in-canada-to-eliminate-homelessness-1.3074742 Medicine Hat Alberta has created homes for...

Ah, too bad you are on the opposite side of the continent from me! I think i could have offered her a very good home, as I'm very set up for my two prone-to-laminitis horses, and looking for a horse for my horse crazy neice to call her own! Good luck finding her the perfect home. I'm sure its out th...

Great news! The end is in sight! I did radiation after chemo and it totally kicked my butt. Still jingling for you.

Sorryy you folks are going through this. Best wishes and jingles to your BF. Where are you located?

I'd eat and feed them leftovers. But, my real contribution to this is......what's bulgogi? Am i missing out?

Tabby, where do you live that its 1033? I always thought you were on Vancouver Island for some reason. I must have you confused with Rhiannon! Good night. My riding went con thanks to the split. Oh well.

Holy cow Mulcair is trailing.

So I guess we (BC) gets to determine majority vs minority. Wow. Personally I think I'm rooting for Lib minority with an NDP balance. Then Mulcair and Trudeau would have to figure out how to get along. Regardless, I'm so glad this country voted against fear.

Thanks DG, i hadn't seen that. Looks just like an elections canada ad. However......holy red wave atlantic canada! This will be interesting. I love that election coverage began when eastern polls closed as i can actually watch the polls come in. Usually in BC we're blacked out until7pm, and at that ...

Dg-heard about that on cbc yesterday! Suddenly no longer conservative blue. Smells like desperation to me. Anyway, very interesting day today!

Heaven forbid!

Oh yeah forgot- what's with advanced polls running out of ballots and turning voters away?

Argh! My keyboard switched to french and while fixing it I lost my post! Well, here's the condensed version. Yup cost of the platform. I know that no party is going to be able to afford all their promises, but i use their platform to decide which parties priorities align most closely with mine. Are ...

Kande love those rocks! Now that my 3 horses have 8 good legs between them, i have time for other things. Love to cook, along with a good glass of wine. Summer hobbies flower gardening/landscaping our place, kayaking and fishing. Once winter draws in its pretty much knitting while hockey's on, and g...

Good luck! It sounds beautiful and very exciting!

Full blown thanksgiving tonight. We work shift so we're a few days late. Turkey is in the smoker, scalloped pot., roasted beets with fresh thyme, italian sausage wild rice dressing, german apple pie with pecan crust (i'm celiac), and i've just had a request for homemade nutmeg ice cream so it will g...

Loving this thread! When it stops being active, can we keep it near the top so I can remind myself who I am talking to?

Well dang, my carefully craft post disappeared-I didn't hit submit! From north of the border, there are things I simply don't understand about this discussion. Seems to me that every few months, after a mass shooting, the discussion starts up again re "motivation". As worthy a discussion a...

DG-I totally understand your confusion. I've been flopping back and forth. Both the Libs and the NDP have points in their platforms I agree with, and I've voted for both in the past. I know neither local candidate. I've even done a few online quizzes that purport to help you indentify which party yo...

Hi Tabby-I knew from the old board you'd show up in the political section at some point! I too have been appalled at the level of trash talk-and the whole obviously racist overtones coming from the current government towards muslims. Which group will they focus on next? Seriously, do we really need ...

Love reading people's stories. I'm keeping up with my vow to post more, lurk less. Mid 50's. Riding since I bought my first horse with my student loan. Work in health care (respiratory therapist). I live outside of Kamloops BC, in a very small community about 25 km up a logging road-it's God's count...

For those of us Canucks who have made it over here-what's your take on the current elections? Advance polling-is there something "hinky" going on? My husband and I were dropped from the voter's list after being on it for 15 years. Elections Canada then told me my polling station was 2 hour...

Me too! Coming out of lurkerdom! I was already in udbb withdrawal.

Can't recall my first post, but I'm sure it as around the time I got Khan, my then 7 yr old 17.3 h perch cross. He's now 21! I only mention his height as I vividly recall posting a link to a bareback mounting aid, only to realize i tacked on ".com" instead of ".ca" so that my int...
