Meal at the Manor.

Do you smell the milk before you pour it, or drink it, to make sure that isn't past the date that they brand into the side of the carton?

Soup ~
How do you like your popcorn?

Salad ~
How do you feel about giving gift cards as presents?

Entrée ~
What do you call the white bearded, red suited big guy?

Dessert ~
If you were Santa's 10th reindeer, what would you want your reindeer name to be? Would you have any quirky reindeer characteristics?

LOL.. around this house milk doesn't last long enough. I buy lactose free in the one litre carton for myself and that never lasts long either. I always look at the store for the carton with the newest best before date to make sure it's good for a bit.

buttery and salty... with seasoned salt.. a real sodium high

I am okay with it.. as long as I think I chose he right card for the right person... I usually wrap it with something else though.

Entrée ~
What do you call the white bearded, red suited big guy? Santa Claus.. St Nick doesn't wear red

No. I don't start sniffing until after the date.

I love the taste of popcorn but I generally get an upset stomach from it. So I tend to eat it dry and low salt. Although, blondie has introduced me to popcorn and m&m's and I like that. I like caramel corn like crunch n munch or cracker jacks.

being that I have to spend a million dollars on shipping... I sometimes use them. Rarely, but I do. Usually only when I know they have something big in mind that is beyond what I would normally spend. That way it isn't just cash that gets frittered away.

I don't mind getting them either. I think I will be getting one from my folks this year but we discussed it and it is to be applied to a reciprocating saw to cut a hole in my wall to install a malamute sized pet door.

Santa Claus

Rudy, of course, I would be cooler than Rudolph and I would steal Clarice with my coolness. He would be so jealous and angry that his nose would be glowing all the time. I would hang out with Joe Cool and we would shoot pool and drink root beer.

No. First, I don't use milk. Second, I don't have to smell it to see if it past the date on the carton. (Of course, when you are Cousin Itt and have all that hair in your eyes...) Now if I have a White Russian, I use light cream or half and half. In which case, I see if it past the date, then smell it. Or perhaps I want some eggnog. Again, I look at the date on the carton before venturing in.


Soup ~

Lots of butter. Lots of salt.

Let me put it this way. I bought MasterCard gift cards at CVS for my nieces and nephews yesterday morning on the way to work.


Entrée ~

King of the elves. I believe he controls both the North Pole and the Keebler elves.

When I pull the milk out of the fridge I check the date. If it is getting close to the date I will smell it. If it is after the date I will toss it. What I wanna know is how do they know that is the exact date that the milk goes bad. Do they have the cow's tipping them off when they are milking them or something???


Soup ~

I have an air popper which I rarely use, mostly because I can never remember to buy the popcorn. Air popped or microwaved, I like my popcorn with a drizzzle of unsalted butter and a sprinkling of salt. If I am in the theatre I like a medium sized bag, no *butter* and then I dump a bag of peanut m&m's into the bag. yummy!

I try not to give gift cards unless I absolutely have NO idea what else to get. Dammit! I just realized I need to go to bestbuy and pick up a gift card for my brothers kid. And here I thought I was all done shopping. grrr


Entrée ~

Santa

Blondie, of course. I won't be able to fly unless my Coffee meter is full. tee hee. Surely you are not surprised to learn this.

Though I can't do it anymore, with lots of butter and salt - btw movie theatres in Iowa give free refills (us New Yorkers NEVER heard of such a thing :)

How do you feel about giving gift cards as presents?

Sometimes it's just right - I got a gift card for coffee at my favourite coffee house from my boss - not only did I mention the place once to her and she remembered, but I know that she went well out of her way to travel to get it, so, I find that to be really special.

drunkard! - OH! you mean THAT one? Santa, of course! Unless I am in the UK, then he's Father Christmas :-)

Just because Rudolph had to overcome what others perceived to be a handicap, I don't think that any subsequent reindeer necessarily must. And my name would be Fred the Reindeer. Just 'cause.

LOL
