does anyone have an easy delicious ham recipe for christmas dinner?
Mulan here...........using hubby's ID.
A mortar and pestle is a kitchen tool (pharmacists use it too) that you use to grind herbs and seeds into powders or pastes.
Cardamom is a spice, that comes in pods. You can buy it powdered, but the pods are better. You open the pods and a few seeds are inside, that you crush or grind with your mortar and pestle.

i never could understand why people that never go to meetings, suddenly show up at circuit assemblies or district conventions.
what do you think??
?
This is Mulan. Out of posts again, using hubby's ID.
I agree with blondie. It's a social thing.
We had a CO in the 70's who called those kind of Memorial attenders, Memorial Stars.They come out once a year.(of course he said that to the elders, not to the cong.)
the elders came over this morning as promised.
he called before to explain why so as not to show up under false pretenses.
he said yesterday when he called, he was with a service group so he said he was an "old friend" and wanted to come visit.
Woops, forgot to post with my own ID.
We are SO proud of you. You handled them with class!! Good job!
Now, I am going to go close my curtains so they can't see my decorations.
Mulan, still hiding out.
Seriously, your Dad said if they come today, he doesn't want to deal with them. He isn't going to let them off easily, and if they see our decorations, that will be all they need. No conversation necessary.
They will definitely "get" us for associating with you now. Right, like we would cut off our kids. Well, they will have an unpleasant experience at our house. Hopefully, it will be after we get home from Hawaii.

just for a bit of entertainment over christmas.... i thought that we might have some fun by posting some of our own pics for everyone to try and work out where the location is situated.
in other words, it's spot the location!.
this is an easy one.

Okay, that must have been too hard. Hukilau Beach is just to the left in this photo. The place in question is in red in the song.
The answer is:
The Hukilau SongOh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau
Ev'rybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau is the kau kau at the big luau
We'll throw our nets out into the sea
And all the ama ama come-a swimming to me
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau
Ev'rybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau is the kau kau at the hukilau
What a beautiful day for fishing
In the old Hawaiian way
All the hukilau nets are swishing
Down in old Laie Bay
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau
Ev'rybody loves a hukilau
Where the laulau is the kau kau at the big luau

i watched a movie on tv the other night called "the others" with nicole kidman.
it got me thinking about ghosts.
of course, my jw thinking automatically kicks in and tells me that its.........come on, you all know the answer.......demons.
Mulan, here. I ran out of posts.
I don't know if I would call it believing in ghosts, but I know there is something there. I've had a few experiences with that. So, I guess I believe.
I have had an eerie feeling in some of the places we've traveled. Both of us have felt it. A presence? Don't know. But it's something. I've had more definite ones too.

'tis the season to be jolly!
how's this last weekend before xmas going?
if you're like most people, you've not had a moment to stop and think!
This is Mulan, hijacking Dave's ID. I ran out of posts.
We like: Watching the kids open their presents.
#1 is pretty good. We both get excited everyday when the mail comes. "who did we get a card from today?"
#11 A day at the beach sounds good. Think I'll do that this year. (We will be in Hawaii) [:D}
We don't attach any religious significance to the day at all, and never will. It's just a fun holiday.

its just not supposed to be like this.
i just put my jw husband on a plane to san fran so he can spend the entire holiday week out there, get this, dog sitting his nonjw brothers shitzus while he goes to visit family for christmas.
i told him i was going to miss him...and he replied, well "i wont miss christmas".
This is Mulan.............hit my posting limit, it seems. So am hijacking my hubby's identity. (((((((((Dawn)))))))))) You are quite a writer, girl! I love your analogy of being on two sides of a glass, and never able to touch. Very poignant.
I feel for you, and understand how hard this must be for you. We are kind of in an opposite situation. My elderly JW mother lives with us, and sees Christmas all around her, at our house. Christmas parties with the entire family invited, but she can't go. I know she loves the decorations and all the goodies, and the presents too. She is probably wondering if there is something for her. There isn't. But I feel for her. It must be hard.
We will be thinking of you. If we lived down there, we could all get together for Christmas. The more the merrier. But, we are exactly opposite of you, in the NW.
does anyone else do scrapbooking or card-making??
i took a class last night and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
i'm taking my daughters back to the shop this morning so they can make some of their own cards for their teachers and friends.
woops, wrong ID.
