Come to Chicago!  We'll take to you Lake Michigan and the wonderful museums along the lake.  We'll take you to dinner 95 floors up in the Hancock building.  We'll go shopping down the Magnificent Mile.  And you can eat all the pizza you want!  Baseball season starts 1 April...we'll take you to Wrigley Field.

Aleta...Southern MO is beautiful this time of year and not too far from you for the first night's stay.  Maybe on the Current river or at the Looney Farm.  It's so great to see the bloom of a new life for you.

Aleta, I won't make anyone pretend that they want to see Milwaukee. Just pick a city that you fancy and I'll meet you there, 'kay? If you are feeling political, we could go to Madison.

I'd love to go to South Africa again, definitely would want to visit Ms. Des this time around. :2thumbsup;

We are starting to repay our debt to society tomorrow. The couple that acted as two of our primary support people are moving (just down the road) and one of them is out of town this weekend. We are spending the day with one, possibly two, of their boys. My kids have a skating make-up class tomorrow, then we will have the kid(s) over. My older son will just want to play video games with their older child, but I am taking my little guy to go 'maple sugaring' at the environmental center. Apparently, we will learn to spot maple trees, see how they are tapped, and get a taste of very local maple syrup. They also have a pancake breakfast going for much of the day, so Gwyn may take our kids over in the morning for a proper taste of the syrup. After the class, we will meet up at the cinema and take the whole lot of them to Rango at the best theatre in town - they run childrens films and you can order food and  :beer1; or  :wine; For under $100, we will all see a pickie, and be sorted for dinner as well. WooHoo!

Today my younger son has the day off due to school furloughs. We will just do a bit of cleaning, then pick his brother up at 3PM and head to the environmental center for their afternoon science program. My little guy is in the playroom right now, absorbed in his Tag reader books. Oh, just discovered he will be participating in a piano recital in May. I am so proud! He really has the makings of a musician. :guitar:

I really love Cambridge (UK) specially since I studied at Wolfson for a 3 week study tour thing in the late 80's. Was fantastic. Definitely Camb over Oxford!!!  >:D

TS? I make stir fry several times a week - it's quick and easy and I think fairly healthy - I either do chicken with vegies, cashews and sweet chilli or peanut sauce, or I try with beef and teriyaki or maybe black bean. I think it's one way to keep it simple but also fairly healthy (and trust me I am hopeless inb the kitchen).

Anyway I'm working on my own little tour :) I'm looking at a round the world ticket for late May taking in Hong Kong, UK, Seattle... maybe other mystery locations... depends on time and meds...

A place I really want to visit is Maho beach St. Maarten - where the planes come in over the beach (and topless women get into the bar for free  >:D). I'd be in heaven with beach babes and plane porn AND A BAR!!!

So who wants to come with me to SXM??  :rofl; (note: preference will be given to beach babes.... )

Yum yum...that stir fry sounds good! I've never made stir fry at home before.

BTW I pinched RM's recipe and was very yummy.
Chicken breast, unsalted cashew nuts, onion, red pepper and mange tout.
Easiest to fry off onion and cashews in wok first for 2-3 mins then remove, put chicken in (cut into strips), when half-cooked add veggies. When cooked, re-add onions and cashews.
I made sweet and sour sauce up with soy sauce,brown sugar, pineapple juice and dash wine vinegar. Add for last 60 seconds
and hey presto
RICH's CHICKEN AND CASHEW NUT STIRFRY...       :2thumbsup;

haha it's not MINE it's YOURS!!! You totally improved on mine since I cheat and use bottle sauce and frozen veggies - but the idea is basically the same (though I found doing cashews after the chicken goes in a bit better for me as if I had them in too early they would burn a bit).

damn I'm hungry and it's time for bed!!!!

My poor puppy has a very swollen face.  We took her to the vet and she has an abscess tooth.  Antibiotics to get the infection under control and then surgery Wed. to remove the tooth.  She looks so sad and a little drugged up now from the pain meds.  Poor thing.

Ouch on the wallet, too.  $725.00 for all!
