Eleanor, thank you so much for the huge piece ((i don’t know what to say )) but sure I know its the besets ever was.

Hope all are enjoying the party

This something in return to Eleanor and to all

Nice shoot from Nakuru Lake Park I took it April 2007

Forgot my desserts!

All right!   Sounds like me tonight.  For those who are familiar with Basti, I found a picture of His/Her cousin sharing in the party tonight:

Actually finished eating dinner a couple hours ago so a little more snacking and drinking can't hurt.  I was working on my IE Browser issue for a while - still can't figure that out but maybe it will come to me.  The desk-top works fine and my wife's laptop works fine.  Just my laptop on the Grizzly and PP Feature Pages.  Truely strange!

Hey everyone of the non-alcholic drink persuasion!  Found some good energy drink to look at:  

 I'm stirring and cooking as fast as I can!   Hi Pondies - great to see you all again.  Bonsoir, Claire, ca va chez toi?

Yay!!!!!!!!!  The pond is back again.  I've missed the warthogs and warthog wallow.

I've been watching that critter (couldn't tell what it was - guess someone ID'd as eland ) for quite a while.  Thought for a while it was a bear watcher that was exceptionally thirsty after walking from Homer to PP.  Sure is good to see PP up and operating - I haven't been able to catch much of the pond yet this season.  Now I'll just kick back and share in some of the virtual goodies you'all have provided, sip on some of this little exotic liquer made of a combination of mango, papaya, passionfrute and a bit of lime - and about 20% alcohol.  Hmmmm!  That should make watching the critters even more enjoyable.

Karen:  be sure to tell us how your kitten is.  Hope the vet gave it a clean bill of health.

I hope everyone likes cheesecake!  It's maybe second best, after Eleanor's Chocolate Explosion Cake!

Molten Lava Cakes Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Show:  Paula's Home Cooking Episode:  Girls Night In

6 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate 2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 3 large eggs 3 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons orange liqueur   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liqueur. Divide the batter evenly among the custard cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates.

Here is my offering, enjoy!  Creamy Corn and Avodado Stoup...
