Bliss

2/5 and 1* (W/Th) This week I'm bringing freshly baked banana muffins as soon as they come out of the oven ;-)

Agree with previous posters about Ken's pronunciation of crayons. Tonight, he said "houses" as if it is a true plural of house... yes, I know it's plural - but we pronounce it differently: more like howses. English is such a weird language at times. Mr Bliss said, 'well, at least it isn't "hice". (think louse or mouse)

3/5 + * Anyone here enjoy homemade eggnog? (I use the Best of Bridge recipe) It's excellent with dark chocolate as a chaser!

2/5 Snowed in!

@Browncoat Enjoy your trip! I spent a few weeks in NZ several years ago (youngest daughter did her masters there) and it was a trip of a lifetime... I'm lucky to have had a few!) Here I go again with the looks-like comment: does anyone else keep waiting for the current champ to sound like Oliver Platt when he speaks? There's a resemblance imo, especially around the mouth. I watch Chicago Med sometimes, mostly for Oliver. Ok, and some of the hot young doctors too ;-) Wishing all my US friends a happy Thanksgiving. xo from Canada

3/5 and one * Almost well, so hopefully I can start baking goodies again... soon. In the meantime, here are some cyber candy canes (we had an early Christmas party).

Stephen's "emu" face is one of the funniest things I saw all week. I wonder if he's practised that one on Evie... and what her reaction was! LOL

2/5 and 1* Since I am down with a nasty cold, I'll be sending cyber food - anything you wish!

Ditto with the stuck on Waltz... and the sad... Luckily, I flew through tango/foxtrot/jive/lindy hop and then thought of polka and I could have had a V8! Slap on the forehead moment ;-) I'm a jetpunker, so coming up with pres' names is easier now.

I've had weeks where I thought, "ok... this is it... this'll be my perfect week!"... and then something happens - like obscure opera or art history (grrr)... and I flame out. Not this week! (Perhaps hump day's despair had something to do with it... the J! gods took pity on me?) 5/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still amazed my brain found kevlar in the dusty recesses. Hope everyone likes 5-layered-trifle ;-)

Sure... why not? We have a couple of spare bedrooms and lots of Canuck hospitality ;-)

Have to say... I think Greg may be one of my all-time-fave players. He's smart as a whip, mannerly, witty, and has the best smile! He also has no weird mannerisms (arms flailing about, buzzer killing, mumbling, swaying, etc.) that distract from his excellent playing. Something tells me that when he eventually loses ('cause it will happen one of these days - I just hope he racks up a tidy sum before that happens), he'll reach out to the winner with grace and humility. p.s. I'm also on fire with FJ this week, @proserpina65!

I doubt you read this thread, Stephen... but if you and Evie need a place to "be", you can come live with me here in Canada... just sayin'.

3/5 (again!) Too friggin busy to make anything - even virtually! - so I'll bring jokes, music and leftover Hallowe'en candy ;-)

Just saw a FB post saying Jenna and Val are expecting their 2nd!
