remember that I came from the middle east, where the coldest day of the year won't reach 32 F .
so the winter here is extremely cold than I can't stand.
we are thinking to move to Georgia or Texas.

the weather in mi. is the same as where i live..the winter temperatures must be very difficult for you to adjust to..personally the cold weather does not bother me at all, but i prefer the warm weather..it is very difficult to chip and putt in the snow..

Georgia and Texas have supurb opportunities in the High Tech and Scientific industry and the climate is milder than Michigan.

I reside in Northern California where it rains and is cold all winter. I am a native of Indiana/Illinois. All four of my grandparents are from Eastern Europe, also cold during the winters!

I would like to retire to a warmer climate after my children are grown.
My bones are getting too cold for this climate and California is Too expensive to live!

northern california is hardly on the way to michigan..guess i'll just have to meet you at housewife's for turkey dinner..but it was the thot that counts, right..

WOw...Interesting heritage !
I teach undergrads in an Engineering school. My time if full, but nothing in the world is like sitting together on the dinner table with my family, we barely dine out.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

What is everyone Doing?

Housewife, Will you be cooking your award winning
meals and desserts?

And Dr. Mansview, what will you be doing. How is that sign on your Tombstone? Have the Graveyard Creatures visited your Tombstone Yet! LOL

I will take my children to a Halloween Party, they will go Trick or Treating with their friends,

and the extent of my cooking:

1. Stuffed Orange Peppers (for Halloween), Green and Red Peppers,(for Christmas next month), stuffed with Rice, Cheddar Cheese, ground Turkey or Beef and: Cranberry,Raisins and various Nuts! It's fast and I usually top it off with Grated Parmesian Cheese and Spaghetti Sauce or Tomato Sauce.
I skillet the Turkey and or Beef first and then I stuff with everything, then I put into the oven just to get the Peppers soft, (not too over cooked)!

2. Dessert: My children and I make Taffy or Carmel Apples!

Happy Halloween!

I did not go anywhere on Halloween, I like to watch horror movies, I like them all.

Hello housewife-

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm! You got some tasty looking eatables posted! I would join you in posting recipes but I don't measure when I cook and bake. I could only share ingredients and approximate measurements. That won't help anyone cook a thing. It's a shame because I have this really tasty homemade layered chocolate almond cake that I bake. Anyway you're recipes and illustrations look so GOOD! Yummy!

Hi Dr. Mansview,

I know you're not a doctor. I'm just having some fun!

Anyway, as a child growing up in the Midwest, I recall many vacations driving with my parents and siblings from my home in Illinois/Indiana through Detroit, Michigan and then through Windsor, Ontario and to Niagra Falls on the boat ride through the falls. I Also visited Quebec, I really enjoy the French bakeries, French food, French Art, discos etc..

My dream vacation is to drive up to and visit Vancouver B.C. and take a cruise ship or fly to Juneau, Alaska (during the summers) not during the winters! (I currently reside in Northern California, it rains and is
cold here all winter).

Have you ever been!
