Hiddy Ho There Sweet Friends,

*

How is your day going so far???

*

Mine is going pretty good so far,  still

trying to get my house back together.  Did

get the Christmas dishes all put away,  and

just have to put some mugs away yet.

*

Have been taking some pictures of roses

that I have and trying to get the right color,

cause there is something creative I want to

do with them, and if I can pull it off I will

take some pictures so you can see for yourself.

*

After I downloaded or uploaded  (Who knows which one,

I have no idea  what the difference is ) all my pics

I went thru them and put some affects on a few,

 and was so happy with the way one in particular came

out,  that I think I want to print it and frame it.

*

For some reason I can't take it to where

I normally do to print it,  so gotta wait for hubby

to get home to show me what to do.

I so hate being technically challenged,  and

I do try to learn as much as I can,  but sometimes

it all just escapes me!!  Really!!

*

Thought I would ask you if you have ever tried

these new Town House crackers you see in

my header picture,  I have to say they are delicious

and a favorite at our house,  they are really good

with peanut butter on them,  or with ham or with

these great Mozzarella Cheese sticks from

Weight Watchers.  These cheese sticks only have 1 gram

of Sat. fat,  and honestly,  they are the best string cheese

 I have ever had.  My kids used to eat it when they were home

 and I really never liked it (course it was another brand,

  but I love these and eat one every day now,  sometimes

 twice a day.  Check the Sat. fat on the others,  you will be

 shocked by the comparison,  and also the flavor,  if you

 are a cheese person,  which I really am not!! lol

*

(Thought you might like to see a closeup - the only

place I have found it, is at Wally world (Walmart)

*

They really make a nice snack, with the crackers and

some fruit,  I really like to eat them with grapes.

*

I am in the process of making Cuban Ropa Veija

as I am blogging.  I am making it for dinner on

Wednesday cause Dee and her friend are coming

over for din din.  It is alway better after it seasons for

a day or so.  It is yummy,  think I did a blog on

the recipe,  I will have to check and if so put

a link on. Looked for it but couldn't find it.

If anyone is interested let me know and I

will repost it or maybe post it for the first time.

*

Maybe I just thought I posted it before.

*

Below is another delightfully neat treat

that I love!!

*

*

Last year they only had these at Christmas,

but I just found them at Publix still,  so am

hoping they will keep them all year.

*

I just love these things,  they are really

delicious and gives you that lil bit of

sweet you would like after a meal but

isn't bad for you cause it is dark chocolate

and pretzels,  and we all know and have

read that a lil dark chocolate everyday

is very heart healthy.  Praise the Lord!!

Course,  key word there is a lil, not the

whole bag at once!!  lol

Only 2.5 grams of  saturated fat for 8

of them,  I usually only eat a few at a time

anyway,  so that is less than a gram, and

none of these products have nasty trans fats. 

*

You learn all sorts of new stuff when you

have a hubby with heart problems.  Trust

me... we eat very healthy cause as far as it

depends on me,  I am doing all I can to keep

my guys around for ages!!

*

Oh yea,  wanted to tell you we watched

Julie and Julia,  and I just loved it!

It is truly a delightful movie..........

Meryl Streep does an amazing job

as Julia Child,  sounds just like her!

*

I love what a positive and fun person

that Julia Child was,  I mostly saw her

later on in life,  but that is how she

seemed then too.  She was really

a neat lady,  and so was this young

woman Julie.  They both had wonderful

hubbies that supported and loved them

*

It is also a good reminder to us ladies

to not let our blogging get out of hand!!

All in All I think most ladies will truly

enjoy this movie,  hubbies maybe not

so much!  Mine thought it was okay

and said he enjoyed it, course,  I am

sure there could be something else

he might have liked more!!

*

It was also a very fun and funny

movie as well.  I give it an A+

for warm fuzzies!!  lol

*

Well, girlies it is back to the kitchen,

that is definitely the warmest spot in

the house.  We are up to 50 today

and I actually was able to turn the

heat off,  but if I don't warm up soon

I might turn it back on.  Imagine I

will once I am back in the kitchen

cooking again!

*

Well, enjoy your day and have a

wonderful evening.

*

Hope it is warming up where you

live,  tomorrow is suppose to go

to 60 I think,  so we are singing

the Hallelejah chorus ,  course,

it really has been sort of fun.

I have worn things I haven't worn

for years,  that was fun all by itself!! lol

*

Take Care, and Stay Warm,

*

Love and Blessings,

Nellie
