Saturday Roll Call

Time to start the coffee.  I will have a stroll this morning and then a trip to the loop and Logan Square to meet up with some hackers.

How about you?

Good Morning,

Not to much going this weekend. I have some errands to run, but not sure if they will get done. I am not feeling to well this morning.

I hope everyone has a nice sunny day.

Hugs,

Hello everyone

I Have been so busy at work.  Lots of over time...they let everyone go home early yesterday.  But I couldn't go, I had to finish apply this big payment from Exxon.  Well at 6:30...I had to pack it in because they were closing the place down and I didn't have the alarm code.  I didn't have the payment balanced...I was off by $36 (the payment was 1.7 million).  So it's literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.  The problem is they like to pay different amounts then what our invoice states.  So I have to go line by line of the remittance and change the amount to match their payment.  And when there are 157 lines it can take a long time. 

After work I went to Walmart and got some last minute groceries.  I can make a basic plain cheesecake.  I know the recipe by heart.  What I do is take it and tailor make it to the person's tastes.  So if a person likes oreos I crunch them up and put them in or if they like turtles...I put caramel, chocolate and nuts in it.  I always joke that I can shove anything into a cheesecake.  Well with that concept in mind I wanted to make a cheesecake for Chris.  He really likes dark chocolate and his favorite candy bar is mounds.  So I took my basic recipe and and added a bar of dark chocolate....and took 2 mounds candy bars and cut those up and added them, I also added a handful of coconut flakes...put that in the crust.  baked it.  I saved a square of the dark chocolate and shaved it on top with sprinkled coconut flakes.  It came out delicious!!!  Yummy...you really can shove anything into a cheesecake!!!

Today I have to go to the DMV today.  My drivers license expires next week and although I could have gone online to renew it, I really need to go and get a new picture.  I have had a couple of people say it doesn't look like me.  Then I am going to Chris's house we are going to go hiking somewhere...I don't even know where.  Then we are going to go back to his house and have a cookout with his family.  That is it for my day.

Well I got to go and get my day started...see ya all later...bye..

Good morning!

IT's looking like a beautiful day here. We went to the Farmer's Market last night and had the best couscous I've ever eaten. We also had a falafel which was also great. Then we went to Kortmann's for an art opening. It was a beautiful evening and so nice to be outside and running into friends.

Today is the first day of Worldwide Knit in Public week and I'll be doing my part!

Have a great day!
