Hi Dave,


 RH> I know, it's 3 pm, no snow yet but it's not too far away. Not sure how
 RH> much of each we're going to get but we're going to get several inches,
 RH> combined, of nasty weather. Not the 18" of snow we got in Swansboro,
 RH> first week end of March, 1980, but the sleet, ice and or freezing rain
 RH> will be rough. Then it'll thaw during the day, refreeze at night for
 RH> several days which will create black ice.

 DD> And most people in your area won't have extensive experience with
 DD> really slick roads. And those who do may be "out of practice". I've
 DD> never (so
 DD> far - touches wood) had a slick roads wreck. But then I try to keep my
 DD> head on my shoulders, not up my ... never mind.

We had freezing rain starting around 4:30, then it turned to snow
briefly (got maybe an inch) and back to freezing rain before turning to
just rain. Still some slick spots in shaded areas but today was sunny
with a high of 43.7.

 DD>      8<----- SWITCH ----->8

 DD> a batch of birthday cupcakes I made some time ago. They don't spoil
 DD> and there's no "use-by" date on the jar.  Bv)=

 RH> I've got a partila jar of Christmas sprinkles I picked up for half
 RH> price at the post Christmas clear out at Wal-Mart a few years back.
 RH> Used some of them for something but need to do some baking so I can
 RH> sprinkle a few more on the icing. (G)

 DD> That's the best way to stock up on "seasonal" merch that useful
 DD> elsewhere/ when. Hit the after holiday clearance and save big-time.
 DD> Especially on stuff that'n not perishable - or can be frozen.

True, if you can do it and remember where/when you stashed it. I got a
pre-Christmas sweatshirt at Sam's Club just after Christmas, set aside
for next Christmas season.


 DD> Going to make this for supper tonight. Then see how well the leftover
 DD> keep ........


 DD>       Title: Shrimp & Broccoli (sort of) Alfredo
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Sauces, Pasta, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

Looks good, leftovers should keep a few days. Steve cooked for the
Legion last Thursday, didn't have much of a turnout so had a lot of left
overs. Yesterday we froze a lot of pulled pork in meal size bags and
canned 4 pints of "baked" beans. Good eating over the winter.
