Please remember, now that its winter, animals seek out the heat of
vehicles to stay warm. Before starting your car, please check around
the
wheels and engine for these cold animals. You may not even notice they
are there.

Yesterday Jen planned and executed an
awesome birthday party for Sami at the Bear Hotel...
The theme of the party was the movie "Frozen"
All of Sami's friends were there... the
fare was pizza, snowball cookies, and she had an ice shaving machine and
everyone got shaved ice with flavorings. There were projects to make (snow
flakes) pictures to color, necklaces to make. The room was decorated with
hanging ice cicles
I'll make a Smilebox of photos... publish
on tomorrow's blog..
Also while there I talked to one of the 'bear artists'... he was working on the Rogue River Bear! Cool, will have photos tomorrow.

This from last year....
I get a
cooking magazine called Cooking Light and in it there was an article about the
creamy cooking starters available in the markets now.. What they said was, if
you want to make a creamy sauce without the 'cream' and added calories, take a
can of Cannellini beans, or any white bean, puree with chicken stock, add in
your favorite herbs. This makes a fresh creamy sauce that lightly coats pasta
and vegetables keeping the dish light and fresh.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

National Banana Cream Pie Day
National Banana Cream Pie Day puts the royal spotlight on
the queen of the cream pies. Made from a banana custard filling and topped with
whipped cream, a slice of banana cream pie has a smooth, sweet, yet subtle
flavor that carries even more popular appeal than other favorites like lemon,
chocolate, and coconut cream pie.
