Add handfuls of cheese and 1/2 C crispy bacon and mix by hand. Spoon into serving dish and garnish with some cheese, bacon pieces and green onions/chives. I served with pretzles, chips and carrots. I recommend taking it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving because it will be very firm. I zapped it in the microwave for 20 seconds and that worked well too. It's soooo good!!! would it work to put this in a mini crock pot & serve it warm? This sounds sooooo yummy! *puts this on Christmas party recipe list*

I get it from Brian at Design a Tea - Where Tea Leaves Dream : Custom Blended Teas and Other Soothing Products ooh great website. I'm ordering a sample now! sorry.

crap, it won't be fall (weather wise)until almost November here, but to me it feels like fall when college football is playing & you can smell pumpkin or spiced apple scented candles. Yum!

give me Kona coffee straight up! In fact, I better make sure my coworkers made a pot......

how many people do you have? Hula Grill has a nice little semi-private room (at Whaler's Village). There's also a nice little place right on Front Street.....damn, we ate there our last night in Maui....I'll find the name when I go home, but it has 2 levels of restaurant & looks out onto the water. Food was pretty good, I'd say the view is better than the food though. I'll be back with the name. And, SAM, I highly recommend the Old Lahaina Luau. They were amazing. We got a fantasic location for our group (we booked about 8 months in advance...it helps ladies) & prepaid the gratuity (also helps). We had an amazing time there! There was even another receprion there the night we went (and we saw that couple get married on the same beach we did that morning!!!)

GO BIG RED!!!!! and Let's go Devils (Sundevils, that is!)

I don't even have an "engagement" ring. Brad had just been released from the hospital (we had decided to get married when we thought he had a heart attack....very long story short he has lupus) & we knew medical bills were coming. My wedding band is the only ring I have & couldn't be happier (as long as I have a healthy husband). Maybe some day I'll have a rock on my finger, but I'll take him over a stone any day.

yay andi! i'm so excited for you two!

Ok, we love this show! Does anyone else watch it? We're so excited about the 4th season starting next week (what a nice birthday gift to me....too bad I'll be dealing with our office move that night...Happy birthday to me, huh?). Anyway, hopefully I'm not alone in my politically incorrect obsession. Anyone? Anyone?

aw, thanks ladies. It was wonderful & perfect & just the best day surrounded by people we love. We couldn't have asked for more!

Happy Birthday Becks! Hope it was fabulous....just like you!

I was at work at my current job (i work for a company that provides tours/transportation/entertainment/etc for corporate meetings & conventions that come into town) & remember all of my vendors calling me to let me know that the tours I had scheduled for that morning could obviously be canceled without penalty, but that if the client did want them to go that they'd be charged even if nobody went. It was bizarre that I still had to put my professional hat on & work (and ask my client to make decisions) in a time like this. I remember a coworked of mine had the top execs from a major American car manufacturer set to depart on 9/11 & she had to jump through hoops because these guys would not take no for an answer. I guess when you have that kind of money, they expect miracles to happen for them. They were trying to have her charter a plane, a motorcoach, anything to get them home. I remember her being in tears, because they were so demanding during this time. I had to work that night for the event that my client had planned at a western venue, & it was just so bizarre. 1/2 of the folks still went (to get their minds off of everything), but it was still very surreal. One of the things I rememebr most during that week was the lack of planes in the sky. I live near a flight path & although it's never noisy, it was amazing how much I missed seeing the planes in the sky.

thank you ladies. Your words are helping me. I'm sure it won't be long until we get new kitties (thanks abbie) that we can give love to. Of course I'll post pictures of the furbabies when we do.

It'll be interesting to see how they play out the "adam as the outcast son" storyline. How long do you think Victor will hole up in the mansion?

Then the time that I did see him cry was when we had to put my cat down. She was 15 years old! It is never easy, especially when they are a part of your life for so long!! my dad was the one to call & tell me & he broke down when telling me. That was really sad. My dad wasn't her biggest fan & he was blubbering. that little ball of fur got to him, too.

I'm so excited for you!

My head knows that, but my heart still aches. I know I had her for so much longer than I should have & am so grateful for that time. We'll probably be getting a couple of kittens soon. She didn't get along with other cats, so she was an only cat once I moved out of my parents' home.

We got the call from my parents the day we flew home. We feel so guilty that she was all alone when she passed. We knew she wasn't going to be with us forever (she turned 21 in April), but it's still hard. I've had her since I was 11! Every day I keep expecting her to beg for food. This was taken in July after our shower. Damn cat probably wanted us to leave her alone already. Aw, baby.....

mine is easy: AZ for Arizona & Huskergirl as in Nebraska Cornhuskers. It should be Sun Devil since that's where I graduated from(ASU). My family is originally from NE, & thus I have been taught to be obsessed with Nebraska football since childhood.
