My Holiday Wishlist

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

It's about that time again, and I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year. I've seen the wishlist meme going around, and thought I'd do it this year. So here are ten things that I wish for:

1. Anything from my amazon.com wishlist

2. Christmas Cards! I love cards and mail in general, but Christmas cards are the best.

3. Paid time on my lj

4. Mix CDs of anything you like - Broadway tunes, heavy metal, whatever.

5. Donation made to the American Cancer Association or your local blood bank.

6. A gift certificate to Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, or Sears.

7. Cards for my friend Melody. Any kind of card: get well soon, funny cards, Christmas cards. The only thing that I ask is that they be "clean", because her husband and MIL are very conservative and read all the cards that she gets. Send them to me, and I'll send them on to her.

8. Recipes (preferabbly on 3x5 cards, but electronically is good, too) for anything. I'm starting to collect them for when I get out on my own.

9. Icons of any of my interests.

10. A stuffed cat or rabbit.

I can definitely send you a Christmas card! My wishlist is here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/holiday_wishes/272238.html) if you want my address. :)

P.S. sorry about the html failness and the double post.

[lilaznffairy421.livejournal.com]

i'll probably be sending a letter/card/recipes. :]

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[dove95.livejournal.com]

Along with sending you a card, I'm gonna make you a couple Fiona Apple icons :)

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks so very much!

[dove95.livejournal.com]

Did you get the icons? I keep thinking my verizon email is messing up...

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry I haven't had a chance to respond yet. I've been working on papers for school and kind of let e-mail and livejournal slip. They are totally awesome, by the way!

[dove95.livejournal.com]

That's okay; I understand, especially with school stuff. Good luck with papers and such! :)

[julie709.livejournal.com]

I'd like to send one to you and your friend! Should I mark one Melody and just put your address on it?

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be fine. Thanks for thinking of us!

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

I'll be sending you a card!

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks!

You're welcome!

easy recipes

Here's one of my favourite recipes. Dump into a casserole: two cans of green beans, two cans of cream of mushroom soup, and half a can of those friend onion things. Stir, bake on like 400* for maybe 40 minutes until it starts to get brown. Sprinkle on the rest of the green beans and put it back in the oven for 5 minutes. Sounds disgusting, but it's so good.

Also, cook up three different shapes of noodles (look at the thickness and put the thicker ones in a little before), drain and throw in an absolute ton of Five Brothers Alfredo Sauce. Brown some hamburger and toss it in along with a little bit of sage. I'm drooling just thinking of it.

Homemade tacos, my favourite favourite meal. Brown hamburger. Heat a pan, put a little olive oil on, cook corn tortillas on it and bend them in half right after they come off the pan. Put the meat inside and add sour cream, salsa, cheese, cilantro, onions...

I'll send you some mp3s once they're finished uploading.

I'm going through the wishlists and saw that there's something I can do for yours. I have two stuffed bunnies (green and yellow) that were 'abandoned' at the day care where I worked. If you'd like, I can send them to you. I can include a Christmas card for you and your friend too! Lemme know if you'd like the bunnies.

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

That would be really awesome on all counts. Thanks for thinking of me!

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Just e-mailed you!

[angelsgracie.livejournal.com]

Meeep!!! I got my Christmas posts messed up. *g* Sorry about that! I meant to say that I'll send out the package to you at the first of December. Hee! (See what happens when I do too many things at once. Sorry! *g*)

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! I have a lot of things going on right now as well, so I totally understand!

[bestdaywelived.livejournal.com]

I'm sending you ( and your friend Melody ) holiday cards with recipes in them! :)

( They'll come from Krystal Kane ).

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I can do 4, 8 & 9. Any particular interest you want icons of? 4 & 8 will probably arrive after the holidays, since I'm broke at the moment.

Also, I plan on donating blood next month, so that should hopefully fulfill 5.

[pandorabox82.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

If you're looking for vegetable-based recipes, I suggest checking out the Peak of the Market (http://www.peakmarket.com) website.

You can do searches based on which veggie you’d like to use, what kind of meal/dish you’re looking for, or just call up the site’s complete alphabetized recipe listing. You can also e-mail the recipes to other people or submit your own to the site.

Happy cooking! :9

Thanks for the link!

You're very welcome. :) Have a great Christmas! ^_^

Herby Quick Bread

[cyprinella]

3 cup flour
2 tb sugar
1 tb baking powder
1/2 ts thyme
1/2 ts basil
1/2 ts garlic powder (or 3/4 ts garlic salt, and omit other salt)
1/2 ts rosemary
1/2 ts salt
1/2 cup shreaded cheese (I've been using Colby Jack)

1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup veggie oil or olive oil <-- very tasty.

Mix together dry ingredients, mix together wet ingredients seperately. Add wet to dry, mix until a sticky dough forms. Stick it in a greased loaf pan.

1 hour, 350 degrees.

I've been using a pale beer for this recipe because it's ass beer that we're trying to get rid of. If you try something dark, let me know how it turns out. And really, most of the flavorings are just suggestions. I originally found the basis for this recipe floating somewhere on the internet. But the herb mixture in it sucked. Nutmeg, thyme and caraway? Blarg. 'Course, the fact that I hate caraway played a large factor. Then I read First Harvests for the nth time and decided to change the recipe to something more like what was described there.

[changewillcome.livejournal.com]

A card will be on it's way in the mail shortly.
