Some of you may remember me telling you about some biz ideas (and asking your some questions) about a year ago. My mama and I started a business together, and one of the products that we came up with is a game called High Cotton. In fact, that is the main reason I have been MIA lately....have been so busy with that and photography.

We exhibited at the Atlanta Gift Mart in July. You can imagine how excited I was when one of the editors from Southern Living stopped by our booth and chatted with us. :)

Well guess what? Our game is in the December issue! We are so excited we can hardly stand it. It's included in the gift guide on page 21. Here is the online mention:

Seems I get to be first again.

I'm assuming nobody else gets up at 4:30 on a Saturday morning? :eek:

I'm only up because I have to go to work. :(

While my boss is home in bed. :(

Anyway, dinner's going to be homemade chicken noodle soup and cornbread.

I'll try to post up the recipes when I get home. ]]> Southern Thunder http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17580 http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17579&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:39:36 GMT Has anyone seen the Christmas play that as written by Truman Capote?

Goodness gracious, Friday already and into the 3rd week of November!! Where the heck did the month go?? Next week is Thanksgiving already and I leave on Tuesday for Georgia!! Wow, that really crept up on me.

Rained like a son of a gun last night. I guess mother nature got it our of her system as this morning is bright and sunny. Hope it warms up a bit too!

Couldn't get on here yesterday. I had a doctors appt. and the doctor was quite a distance away. Did not get home till the afternoon and then got busy with stuff.

There was nothing special for dinner last night. I had some stuffed cabbage casserole that I made a while ago hanging out in the freezer so I took it out in the morning to defrost and it was just enough for the 2 of us.

In this neck of the woods we have several supermarkets where if you spend a certain amount of $ within a certain time period, you get yourself a free turkey, up to 22 lbs. I qualified for my free turkey so I picked it up yesterday. That goes into the freezer and I usually make it when the boys come home for Christmas. It provides some nice meals during the week before Christmas that they are here.

For tonights dinner (still keeping it simple) we are having some spare ribs that I have had marinating in BBQ sauce in the freezer. I am making some Sweet Northern Cornbread with that, and when I run to the store later I will pick up some cole slaw. I am also making some of those Lipton baked onion potatoes to go with.

Dessert, not sure. Have to see what DH has devoured already. Might have to dig in the freezer and take out another chunk of whatever kind of cake I froze. Think I have some chocolate pound cake in there. I will have to see.

I thought maybe someone here might have tried this idea. I think it would be be pretty neat, especially for kids. Anyone have any idea if you would just use regular dressing, make it into balls? How long would you have to cook them? Hope someone has a suggestion...I'll check back at CL later and see if there has been a response over there. I think this is such a clever idea...why haven't I thought of this?? :eek: ]]> Recipes MindaAnn http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17576 http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17575&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:11:31 GMT .....mousseline?

I don't think that's ever happened before.

What do you wear? Do you throw on jeans and a sweatshirt and be comfortable all day or do you take a little time and wear something a little more festive? Maybe nice slacks and a pretty top?

We traveled about 3 hours over the holidays from Charleston to my grandparents' house which was below Savannah. Mama would always get out the brush and freshen her lipstick when we took that final turn to Granny's house. She taught me to make the family times special and dress for the occasion. I have nothing against nice jeans and a pressed shirt! But I think it sets the tone for the whole day when you get ready in the morning. (Plus, there are always pictures!)

I enjoy shopping for "just the right thing" for the recipient. That is not to say that I buy very extravagant gifts or spend a lot of money. Half the fun of shopping for me is finding a great bargain on quality items. Marshalls and TJ Maxx are my haunts this time of year.

I am a practical gift giver. I want people to enjoy the presents I give and be able to use or wear them. I am not one to give a figurine or coffee table book - even though I love receiving either of those. And I would never give someone a Christmas ornament or decoration to be delivered Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. What would the fun be in that present? You couldn't use it again until the following year! :confused:

What about you? Do you give gifts that are fun and far from practical? Or are you like me and try to find items that you know they will use? ]]> Entertaining and Holidays scarlettdouble http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17569 http://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?t=17568&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:22:16 GMT Anyone have a recipe for cooked apples?
