It was a hit!  I am still in a state of shock but yes he really enjoyed it, even mentioned it again yesterday.  Got me thinking....what is next?  Yes my evil little mind is ticking it over.  It can't be anything as adventurous as curry or stir fry.  Maybe some kind of stew or casserole?  I wonder if I can make a lamb stew and tell him it's beef and I could pick out the vegetables?  Would that be too dishonest?  I get so mad because I know he would enjoy lamb.  He is just in denial.  His taste buds need to be woken up!! I had both the boys home yesterday due to the storm.  I don't enjoy that at all, the constant hum of the telly, even though I am a couple of rooms away from it.  I really do enjoy my peaceful week days.  And then I have to stop and make lunch!  lol  Not to mention small talk. more lol. So it is just me today, I have tidied up, <a href="http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/1586"></a>done the dogs,  walked on the dready, David's laundry, couple of p... http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/journal/item/280/Meat_Pie_update..

It's been snowing lightly all day but who would listen if I complained?  It seems that every man and his dog has snow!  Oh yea it is winter......silly me.

We headed off from home at 3am to drive to Albany airport.  Luckily there had been no fresh snow over night so the r... http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/journal/item/275/Hawaii Fri, 5 Feb 2010 13:53:27 -0000 I am tackling my inbox from the top......probably not the best way to do it but I don't really know where the bottom is?? So I will probably be visiting your posts out of order, so don't mind me and I promise to wipe the snow off my feet and close the door when I leave. http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/notes/item/53 http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/notes/item/53 Tue, 2 Feb 2010 11:42:09 -0000 we are home, about to go pick up the fur kids and then probably crash for a few hours. we have been travelling for 24hours, right through the night with just a few winks. missed you all. xx http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/notes/item/52 http://rooeepooee.multiply.com/notes/item/52 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:23:50 -0000 I have a busy day today, packing, taking fur babies to kennel, last minute shopping and cleaning.
