Sofia

she is 9 and loves books...but I think she needs to be just a bit older to really understand it:)

Angel With Attitude is the one I chose for the prize I won...it sounds like a fun read...I can't wait to get it and start:D

I read this in middle school...I loved it....I am actually hoping to pick up the book for my daughter when she is a bit older.

excellent!! Then you must of put the right amount! Now how about sharing the recipe? Or was that all of it?

Have you read any books that belong to a series? I really like the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich

that may even be too much water. All you need is a bit...see how it turns out this time, then you'll be able to figure it out better the next time.

I know they tell you not to throw frozen in. But I have, and you wouldn't know the difference. I did make a delicious pot roast the other day. Even my daughter asked for THIRDS!!

it's a deal! Let me know when:)

Mine stays on all day while I am away. I make meatloaf in there....YUMMY!! and just toss in some chicken breasts (i've even thrown frozen ones in) with a can of mushroom soup...and onion soup mix.

any chance of getting that recipe? I love leeks...I make a Mushroom soup that has leeks in it....delicious!

Pontalba...when you are ready to try Saramago again...try Blindness first. Then try Seeing again after. You don't have to read them in order to get it...but maybe that'll help you get more into it.

picked up two more portuguese wines.....the first is called Gatao....and when translated it means "cat." It's nothing fancy, just a rose table wine...with a pic of a cute cat on it. I've tried to find a pic...but couldn't:irked: next up....is one of Muggle's new faves;) a Vinho Verde called Muralhas De Moncao...which means "Walls of Moncao" (Muncao being the region)...it's a white wine and here's what it says...Muralhas, Vinho Verde, has aromas of a fresh apple, mint and lime. Concentrated, slightly candied, gingery fruit offers very good vinosity, bracing but not austere. This offers good extract and texture. Ripe and firm onthe aftertaste. http://www.adegademoncao.com/emuralhas.html and I also picked up a little German;) Riesling 2005

thanks for the info....one more question...would I find it in dessert wine section...or categorized by countries like other wines?

I know the feeling. I came away with a good 20-25 myself....plus about another 15 for my daughter:blush:

I usually use whatever piece of paper is close by...old receipt, atm slip, even a napkin (clean one) I shudder at turned down pages!

great idea.....

went to the library book sale yesterday (again) and the very first book that caught my eye......The Stone Raft by none other than Saramago!! I was so excited, as I had borrowed this book from the library twice and never had gotten around to reading it. Brand-new hardcover for a mere $2.00!!

wait till you get to the end! I was stunned! *seals lips*

I've created a monster;)

i totally agree....it's as if he is speaking directly to me.....I like that

a friend recommended a german or canadian 'ice wine'...aanybody ever try any? How about you Muggle?? Dogmatix??

on the weekends sometimes we go out. omelet and homefries....yummy during the week, just coffee and toast

I haven't started it yet.... it's on my list right after ghost story....and then another that I forgot the title!

yayyy for Pontalba:jump: you don't need to read Blindness to understand Seeing, but you should start with it anyway. It's just a better story:D And The Double was really good too. Funny, you pick up a Saramago for the first time, and I picked up a Nobokov for the first time! dogmatix, I'm glad to hear it isn't the book that is slow for you....it was a bit for me:blush:

how ya doing on the book dogmatix?
