omg......this will give you a hint to my age. "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor on the bedpost overnight?"
By Lonnie Donegan & His Skittle Group

Oh-me, oh-my, oh-you
Whatever shall I do
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If only I could know
The answer to my question
Is it yes or is it no

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight

Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar
Just as steady as Gibraltar
Why, the groom has got the ring
And it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight

Now the nation rise is one
To send their only son
Up to the White House
Yes, the nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
They pawn the burning question
What has swept this continent

(Lonnie speaks)
If tin whistles are made of tin
What do they make fog horns out of
Boom, boom

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight
If your mother says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight

On the bedpost overnight

(Man)
Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

(Lonnie)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night

On the bedpost overnight

(Man)
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime

(Lonnie)
He's singin' out the chorus
But he hasn't got the time

On the bedpost overnight, yeah

Thanksgiving Leftovers: Turkey Gumbo

I fix this all the time and prefer it over "turkey day" eatings. I'll buy a breast just so I can make the file' gumbo. I like to use hot sausage like my mother did. She would also add diced leftover roast and ham, but I make mine with only the turkey and hot sausage. Of course she had a houseful to feed everyday so I guess it went further.

Time for a Drink: Bloody Mary

My cousin's husband used to make mine with Clamato juice. I was surprised at good that was! Horseradish, pickled okra and/or pickled green beans and Frank's hot sauce if no horseradish make it tasty to me. Personally, cilantro is too bitter for my taste.

My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal...

Melitons stuffed with shrimp. It's a New Orleans thing. Melitons are vegetable pears.

Healthy & Delicious: Spinach and Cannellini Bean Dip

Sorry, it's looks too green and healthy for me. I rather my own invention while a young wife and mother whose friends had weekly parties. Philadelphia Brand Cream cheese, tons and tons of fresh diced garlic with a smidge of milk to make it "dippable".

Stupid to Make Homemade Halloween Treats?

Regarding KarynMC:
You can NEVER say that only a family member would try to poison a child. Get real, there are sick people out there who get off on doing their dirty deed.

Also,please let me know where those chocolate chip cookies are being handed out so that I'll miss that house. :)

From Talk

Pleas, tell me what to do with this ham.

Dice it into quarter pound pieces and use it as a flavoring in pea soup, a pot of any sort of dried beans. Golly I have so many ideas but I'm so excited by your gift that I can't even think straight right now. You can also use a good piece (depending of you and your hubby's appetite) as a meat to go with snap beans, snow peas, yams or use your own ideas.

Taste Test: Mustard

I feel your pain when judging yellow mustard. I'll stick with my French's, thank you anyway. I am really sad to see that you can't find anything good to eat with Zatarain's, how about frying some tasty ham, melting a slice of Kraft American cheese and then placing it between 2 slices of toast with a leafy piece of lettuce? YUMMY!!!!!!

jazzing up white rice

Since I only like white rice, I like to sautee finely chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic and parsley in a quarter stick butter and then add chicken stock and stir well. Bringing it to a boil and then I place it in an ovenproof casserole dish and bake it in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes until done. You may want to cover it the last 10 minutes so it doesn't brown too much. It's my version of rice pilaf. Any rice can be used but I like unhealthy foods more than healthy ones.

Paying for someone else's party?

I think the party ought to be a get together where everyone can bring a dish and maybe some booze. It's very inconsiderate to think that everyone can afford this sort of thing. If the people, who you don't know anyway, want to have a party, I think they should foot the bill.

How do YOU make a tomato sandwich?

I just don't get the Hellman's and Miracle Whip fascination.....
Take a creole tomato fresh off the vine. Use very fresh or toasted white bread. Sunbeam's not good since they started batter whipping it years ago, so I stick with Bunny Bread. Blue Plate mayonaise (a thin layer), salt and pepper. OMG!!! I gotta go make one now!

What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Vanilla & chocolate both Bell Bell. Strawberry Haagen Daaz. And homemade Creole Cream Cheese or Peach. I won't go anywhere else as far as ice cream is concerned.

Favorite Cheap Homemade Meal?

That's kinda easy. Usually any kind of simple soup, ex: bean, potato, split pea, cheddar cheese. Pasta with sauce. Any dried beans with ham seasoning, tacos, burritos, shepard's pie, cheeseburger surprise casserole and my favorite, stewed okra with tomatoes.
