jerzee-you're going to be in my neighborhood! (ok, so I'm 20 mi west of Hershey, but anyway) I second the cran/orange, pumpkin, etc. Go for the NONchocolate route. It's easy to OD on chocolate when you're visiting Hershey. have a great time. FYI- if you get a chance to go out of the Lodge for breakfast-don't miss the Hershey Pantry (about 5 min down the road)-it consistently gets Best Breakfast kudos locally. TDF!

welcome to the cult! just kidding-but really we LOVE costco. not just the foodstuffs-which are awesome. they put tons of research into what they buy/grow and have fantastic buyers. costco admits that they are more geared to the "discriminating" buyer than maybe sam's club/bj's which is just about a good deal. they have premium quality stuff for phenomenal prices. We have bought furniture, tv's, appliances, clothes, my husband's glasses, pool supplies, fresh flowers, diapers..need I go on? oh, and my husband & son have been known to go there just for lunch-hot dogs and raspberry smoothies!

love how you guys keep us happy! SE rocks!

@nana-yes it's with onion rolls.

and talk about coincidence...i made this for a family reunion. apparently the leftovers (yes-there were leftovers, but only 'cause i did a BIG spread) were eaten with london broil that night by the dad and son who were left to fend for themselves for dinner! There you have it-steak and eggs!

i have a builtny neoprene lunch bag and LOVE it. it holds more than you think it will and is unobtrusive.

I miss mandarin inn-the best chinese in Central PA. Alas, the owners retired and sold the restaurant-it's now mexican?!? they had a dish called chow sam pan that I still dream about!

"when I was a kid" throwback: Golden Grahams.
now-Raisin Bran Crunch, Grape Nuts, Granola-I like my crunch. Any bowl handy-but always with barely enough ice-cold 2% milk to cover. mmmmm.

my 6 yr old LOVES this book-I did too as a kid. I wish there was smell-o-vision to go with the 3D!

it almost looks like it's smiling! nice job!

@perky-my muffins are still a work in progress. I'm trying to find a way to have just a small amt of shoofly pie-smaller than a mini-pie and muffins seemed a good idea. But I am a fan of the wet-bottom type and that is not translating so well to muffin/non crust form. the taste tests, while ugly ( I can totally relate to your BFF's attempt) have been tasty!

@perky & izatryt-i'll let you guys know BEFORE i make it next time, deal?

@perky-our brains sure are connected today!

I am a total MSNBC junkie and was floored when i heard the news!! I cried watching all the tributes-wings for din tonight it is!!
