What Does Your Zodiac Sign Say About Your Style?

You simply must pop over to Elle.com to find what you Zodiac sign has to say about your personal style.  Being a Gemini with my dual personalities, I can be expected to go from ultra conservative to va-va-voom in a drop of a hanger.  I suppose that explains a lot!   

I also loved gaining some insight into my friend's style personalities.  For instance, I can expect my Libra BFF to be "polished and well groomed" at all times.  (You know who you are!)

So I suggest that you curl up with you computer and some nice leftover pumpkin pie and see what your Astrological sign has to say about your personal style.  Just remember, not too much pumpkin pie ladies, or we will not be able to fit into these fabulous fashions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Who is ready for the Superbowl of Shopping?   Macy, Neiman Marcus, Saks – oh my!

I don’t know about the rest of you fashionistas, but this one will be at home snoozing, dreams of after-Christmas sales dancing in my head.    I have no need to wake up at 3 in the morning and fighting the crowds to hopefully catch a deal on some gadget for somebody else.  I don’t want to deal with the masses who are yipped up on coffee while fighting their turkey hangover. 

For the past few years I have been eternally grateful that my children are past the “toy of the year” stage.  I don’t spend sleepless night worrying about the perfect gifts and the perfect Christmas.  In fact I am grateful now that I can truly enjoy the season with my family and friends without having to play Santa.  I no longer have to participate in the feeding frenzy of consumerism. 

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday!

Great Recipe for Thanksgiving Stuffing

Thanksgiving is the time to suspend our diets for one day and enjoy a great meal with our friends and family.  Even though this is not related to fashion, this is the best recipe for stuffing.   Consider this my Thanksgiving gift to you and enjoy!

Southern Living Stuffing Recipe
 
¼ lb Bulk pork sausage
¾ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup chopped celery (1 stalk)
½ cup margarine or butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/8 tsp. pepper
5 cups dry wheat bread (7 slices)
5 cups crumbled corn bread *
¾ cup toasted chopped pecans (optional)
1 to 1 ½ cups chicken broth
 
In a large skillet cook sausage till brown. Drain and reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Set aside.

In same skillet cook onion, green pepper and celery in hot margarine or butter till tender but not brown.


In a large bowl use a fork to beat eggs; stir in poultry seasoning and pepper. Add bread cubes and corn bread; toss till coated. Add sausage, reserved drippings, vegetables, and pecans. Add enough broth to moisten (3/4 to 1 cup), tossing to mix.

Use to stuff one 6 to 9 pound bird (I have never put it in a bird).Place any remaining stuffing in a casserole; drizzle with enough of the remaining chicken broth ½  to 1 cup to make a stuffing of desired moistness. Bake covered, in a 325 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or till hot.  Makes 10 to 12 side-dish servings.
