Today's News.....

Today's news is....there ain't nothin' new. Sorry to disappoint, but this is going to be another of those "going nowhere" posts. I don't have any pictures to share, and not much else.

As for the little guy there to the right, he just makes me smile.

I do have a few recipes to add to my recipe blog. Yellow Mama asked for a good, moist Pumpkin Bread recipe, and I think I can deliver. You can find Sue's Pumpkin Bread HERE. My sister, Sue, makes her pumpkin bread every year for the holidays, and it is fantastic, the best I've ever tasted, although my Pumpkin Spice Jar Cake is a close second. Scroll down to the third recipe from the top for the Pumpkin Spice Jar Cake.

Paulette asked about my recipe for Honeybun Cake, and also for my Mama's Cheesecake. The recipe for my Mama's Cheesecake is on my recipe blog, and can be found HERE. Scroll way down for the recipe. The recipe for my Honeybun Cake can be found HERE. I'll be adding more recipes as the holidays draw closer.

Paulette also says she's having trouble with viewing my sidebar and links. Hmmm...I use Firefox as my browser and I have no problems with it generally, but I've noticed that Meow's and Greeneyes' sidebars are whacky for me with Firefox. If I use Internet Explorer, though, they're fine. I think it must be your browser, Paulette, but just in case, here's the link for dianesrecipeblog.blogspot.com/

I think I was going for the record for most links in blog post. :-)

In other news, Jessica has had a virus this week and has been one sick puppy. She was severely dehydrated from vomiting nonstop, and was throwing up blood at one time. She strained so hard vomiting that it broke blood vessels in her throat, poor baby. Her doctor threatened to put her in the hospital on an IV, but with the Phenergan he sent home with her she is doing better today. Even with the Phenergan she had trouble keeping anything down Tuesday and Wednesday, but she's much better today, thank you, Lord. The Phenergan is in a salve form that she rubs on her wrists. I had never heard of it before her doctor prescribed it for her. That really makes a difference when you can't keep pills or liquids down long enough for them to work.

Jessica goes in a couple of weeks to have an ultrasound, and hopefully find out if she's having a girl or a boy. I told her I hope it's one or the other, LOL. Seriously, I think they want a boy, but we're gonna love it no matter what. I pray it's healthy and she has a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Whether it's a boy or girl doesn't matter in the least to me. As big as she's already getting, I'm wondering if she's carrying more than one. Stay tuned....

The weather around here is very fickle. Less than a week ago, we had a high in the lower 40's and a low of 28F. Today it's almost 80 right now and it will probably make 80F before it starts dropping for the night. You might ask, "What will be the penalty for a sunny, 80-degree day in mid-November?" Well, since you asked so nicely, let me share with you that we are supposed to get severe thunderstorms on Friday. Yay!!! Just one of the fun things about living in the South. Heatstroke one day, and frostbite the next. Occasionally, you can even experience them both in the same day.

I still have to figure out what I'm fixing for supper. No clue right now, but I am getting hungry. No clue what's for Sunday Dinner yet, either, but I'll be back on Saturday for that post, if not before.

One reason I haven't been blogging much is that I have a head cold. I'm feeling better today, but the first part of the week I just felt "Blah". I'll spare you the gory details. I thought sure it was going to turn into a sinus infection, but so far I seem to be beating it, thank you, Lord. As I told Barb earlier in an email, I don't feel like whuppin' a bear with a switch yet, but I feel better than I did earlier in the week, no doubt.

I've got to go feed the growling beast in the living room as well as the one in my tummy. I'm gettin' skeert, LOL. ;-)

Love to all, and God bless.
