I operated a chip stand for about a year and pretty much all the premium burgers had some form of bacon and cheese combo... life is good with bacon and cheese... lol!
One of the burgers was my interpretation of the vial "Bacon Explosion" from a few years back... mmmmmmm....
The pears can be served over icecream as a dessert, as a side dish instead of a vegetable say with chicken or turkey, or, do like me and just eat a bite everytime you go into the fridge...
They were excellent hot and just as good cold.
The calzone was fantastic...I will do that again. I seem to have this thing for artichokes the last couple of years. Not really sure why, but it's been like one of those "where have you been all my life" kinda things...
Things are going well. Adjusting to a new job, new schedule, new home, new people. Loving the weather. Just living and growing. That is how life works.
Beginning to make the holiday plans...
S's Christmas list is small this year. Small and expensive, which is what happens as they get older.
Sorry there isn't much going on over here Antonia, but thanks for stopping by. I don't usually have to much to say on my own threads anymore but they are a good place to socialize and get to know other people...

Cat there is stuff going on, just not contentious stuff, which is good! I came by to see if you needed help and you seem terrific, so yeah, the next step is socializing :-)
Are you on the alt? Eric knows who I am "for real", ha ha.
Your food endeavors sound good. I am planning to make my family's Thanksgiving dinner this year at my parents' house. My mom hates to cook, and it kind of shows, so I'm glad for the opportunity as XH and I used to really love making a big dinner.

I love to cook to cook. Not necessarily for anyother reason...
So I have made the cheesecake twice. The first time was good, but I changed it the second.
Went back to the three bars of cream cheese. And I used the food processor to mix it instead of the mixer. When you take a year off from making these things, you forget your secrets sometimes...
Anyway, I hope those that try it, get it to turn out as good as mine finally did.

Christmas is almost here. My son will arrive tomorrow.
I am excited beyond words.
The holidays for me have always been a simple time in my heart.
While I always enjoyed the way H's family celebrated Christmas (all out), I also always felt it was a bit over the top and that something was missing.
I have been remembering my roots lately, really relearning what Christmas means to me.
It is about gratitude and peace. Smiles and laughter. Love and salvation.
Sometimes we come here to vent our pain, our frustrations, our fears and our irritations with our MLCer's.
I want to remind everyone, that they may be messes. That they may say and do crazy and even mean things.
They are still human.
They still have feelings. They hurt too. They live with fears. They live with sadness, that is just as real as any that we have.
My STBX will spend this Christmas alone, without our S. While he knows that he will be working and I haven't seen S in months, he still hurts. While this is a consequence to his actions and choices, it is a pain that I don't wish on him.
I am grateful that my S is coming here. I am grateful that STBX is not putting up roadblocks to that.
So one of my Christmas wishes this year is for STBX to have peace and joy. To have a wonderful and belated Christmas with S when he returns home.
I hope that everyone here can find a wish for their MLCer's.
I wish that everyone here, newbies and vets, can find something wonderful and joyous to be grateful for.
Merry Christmas and God Bless Us, Everyone...
