YIPEE! It's a snow day!

That is so funny because I do have the food network on right now. Thanks for the bean tip. I won't put them into until later today. I have to tell you it smells great. I got the idea from something you posted awhile back. I don't have any tortillas but that is OK. I'll just eat it plain maybe with a sprinkle of cheese.

Hey! I love snow days too! This week was a short week because we were off Mon and Tues. too! The only downside is we'll have to make it up at the end!!! Remember you were having problems with reflux? I feel like I'm having a slight problem with heartburn? What do you think I should do? Call Boe? It seems like I am very tight in the morning, and as t he day goes on, loosen up a bit. Not sure what to do!

Hi Marla, I saw you are having a bit of heartburn. I get heartburn every once in a while, it's rare but it does happen. So, I keep some of the prescription water soluble Prevacid on hand. My surgeon prescribes it for me when I ask. I don't use it often, but when I need it, I use it and the heartburn goes away immediately. You might talk to your doctor about getting some. Good luck.

Call Dr. Boe - he will call you back himself. I am sure he will tell you to take prilosec and lay off any acid foods *but* call him. That is why we pay him!! Didn't you just get a tiny fill? Do you think you are too tight?

Enjoy your off time, Beth! Your meal sounds great! I, too, wouldn't add the beans until much later as Sharon and Nancy suggested. Can I come for dinner? My DH won't eat spicy at all.

I will set an extra place at the dinner table for you. Seriously, when I crockpot cook there is enough for an army. I end of freezing it and eating it for months! I am having a grand day so far. Enjoyed my coffee, exercised, started laundry, watching the food network and the birds outside in the snow at my bird feeder. I am such a geek!

Not a geek in my book! I love all of the above, especially, FoodNetwork!

I love watching the cardinals on the background of the white snow. They are so pretty and there are two couples - Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal I and Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal II. Weird, I know but it amuses me for hours.

We had plenty of snow on Long Island - at least on the north shore. Steve and I shoveled, used the snow blower and cleaned off the cars. My fingers got so frozen. I used the love snow days when I was teaching but New York City hardly ever closed. The didn't close unless their was at least 10-12 inches of the white stuff. Enjoy your day and the rest of the weekend!
