Yeah, I am definitely not holding the ladder properly, mostly because the ladder itself weighs about 60 lbs., James weighs 210 lbs., and was extended to 24 ft. over my head. If the ladder decided to fall over, there is nothing I could do about it, so I was there for show and to tell James his lights look pretty. It would probably be better if I had my hands on the sides, but truly, I can't budge the ladder even if if's all folded up, so after 45 mins. or so, I got tired of pretending I could stop it from moving if it chose to do so. Luckily it has a wide base and is super sturdy, not that I don't think he should be in a harness system next year...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-64997297133388972242015-12-15T06:08:31.348-06:002015-12-15T06:08:31.348-06:00Hi LagLiv, been following your blog for several ye...Hi LagLiv, been following your blog for several years via Paragon2Pieces. I'm a bit worried about your ladder post though as<br />1: your are not holding the ladder as your feet are on the rungs. You should really have your feet to either side of the ladder, legs locked against the ladder and your hands on the ladder slightly below should height. It would also be a good idea to have large block against the ladder to stop it slipping<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199786832911515506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-29914983378739985062015-12-08T12:56:33.657-06:002015-12-08T12:56:33.657-06:00These two have always been big hits when I've ...These two have always been big hits when I've taken them to parties.

Cherry tomatoes, basil leaf and piece of marinated mozzarella on a skewer. (buy the boccocini if you're feeling fancy or cut up a block of the fresh stuff. Buy marinated or marinate yourself). Drizzle with good olive oil and cracked black pepper on a platter. You can also add on marinated tortellini or another small stuffed pasta.<br /><br />Finally, another make ahead that's easy is a bite of frittata. Just make your favorite, or keep it really simple and make a spanish tortilla (basically egg and potato) and then cut into bite-size squares when cool. this is good served cold, room temp or warm, which makes it nice for a take-along appetizer.<br /><br />I'm a not-picky picky eater (don't like mayo or mustard, anise/fennel, or beets but am open to almost everything else). So I really hate when I can't tell what something is, or what ingredients are included. when my taster (aka husband) is along, he gives me a heads up on anything. (he shares my distaste for beets and fennel too.)<br /><br />have fun! I'm between jobs and the husband is leaving his at EOY with hopes of starting something soon back in Austin so I have no holiday parties and am enjoying the vicarious thinking of what you might make.Longhorn Blondenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-636383493930174272015-12-07T21:29:22.263-06:002015-12-07T21:29:22.263-06:00Thank you!!

Cooking Light...easy appetizers from my go-to file:<br /><br />Cooking Light's pumpkin dip. possibly past this being seasonally appropriate but I love it year round. Great served with sliced apples, pears or Asian pears (my fave) as well as ginger snaps or graham crackers. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-dip (I use the full block of cream cheese, up the pumpkin to about 2/3 c. and keep the sugar the same/slightly lower and maple syrup the same. whip the cream cheese for a fluffy texture)<br /><br />Goat cheese lollipops (or you could make this as a log/ball). You take goat cheese and blend in some herbs and seasonings. then take some of the same herbs and seasonings and an equal part bacon and pecans. pulse in a food processor to make it crumbly. with damp hands roll the goat cheese into bite-size balls then roll in the herb/bacon/pecan coating. put a stick in it to serve (I usually put crackers or those little bread toasts out along side). this is the showstopper presentation. but for five minutes of prep, you can just take a goat cheese log, slice and do the same. or roll the log in the coating and serve at room temp, with a knife and crackers to spread it on. it's flexible. I haven't followed the original recipe since I saw it on Pinterest but I did find it: http://www.thekitchn.com/bacon-pops-goat-cheese-balls-w-82974<br /><br />I know I have some others, but those were the first two that came to mind. I know you've mentioned food like/dislikes before but can't remember any of them at the moment...Longhorn Blondenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-13587513580919288732015-12-07T18:31:58.728-06:002015-12-07T18:31:58.728-06:00Yay!

I did some research between that and the Tile (similar idea) and the Trackr has replaceable batteries you can get on Amazon for a dollar or two, where the Tile is just meant to be replaced in entirety every year, so hopefully it's as great as Gizmodo promised me! <br /><br />(Also, if you used the link I posted, I think you might end up getting a free one in addition to what you ordered? They were running a referral promotion that sounds almost too good to be true, but if you get notified of that, let me know!)LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-41971906032767932612015-12-07T18:30:01.830-06:002015-12-07T18:30:01.830-06:00Lol, I don't know what you're talking abou...Lol, I don't know what you're talking about Desimom... what do YOU see when you read Wednesday's menu?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-37089793376624091942015-12-07T17:20:58.231-06:002015-12-07T17:20:58.231-06:00That Trackr is a great idea.
