Aside from the standard tacos, burritos, etc. -- I often make an Emeril Lagasse recipe for Hot Corn Dip. It calls for fresh, off-the-cob corn, but I always use frozen corn that I thaw. I use a mixture of cheddar and jack cheeses, but I think it just calls for monterey jack.

One thing I'm very happy about is that the school my son chose doesn't require FAFSA for out of state students. I'm thrilled to not have to worry about that. We wouldn't get any kind of aid anyway. Besides the merit scholarships he was awarded, we also have my husband's post-911 GI bill...

It sounds like you guys have made the right decision for her. Hopefully she will love it there once she gets there and gets involved. I think I said up-thread that my son only applied to our local state college (community college) and his top choice. He was accepted and was awarded the...

When my mother-in-law passed away and my husband and his brothers needed to keep a closer eye on their dad (none of us lived nearby - we were the closest at 7 hours), they got him an iPhone but he refused to use it. Would not keep it charged, would not carry it with him when he walked to the...

I used to work for a CPA and did lots of personal returns. I changed jobs about 5 years ago and now I just have to do my own. I do all the accounting for the companies I work for, but happily send the info to the CPA who does the corporate returns. Our personal return isn't a big deal and I...

The very last semester is underway! My son got accepted to his top choice with a merit scholarship and we paid the deposit to hold his spot. I made him apply to the local college as well just in case we can't get things to work out. I've tried to get him to apply to one of our state schools...

Thank you so much. I will look into Revolut. I haven't heard of that one. I knew people on the DIS would have the answer!

My son is going on a trip to London with his high school band in a month to march in the New Year's Day parade. The information from the travel company and the director indicates that there is no reason to take any currency, that almost every place is cashless. He'll have a restaurant card for...

I'm the "pie lady" for my family, too. I typically make 4 or 5 pies for Thanksgiving - there are about 18 of us if you count the little ones. I always do 2 pumpkin pies and use my grandma's recipe from the 1930s. It's different from most pumpkin pie recipes in that it does not call for nutmeg...

I've been making these for years and they're very easy and always turn out great. I often make them on Thanksgiving when I'm doing cream pies that only egg yolks (my extended family prefers whipped cream over meringue). Coconut Macaroons - from Angel Flake Coconut 1 1/3 cups (about) Baker's...

My laundry room is just down the hall from my bedroom and when I get laundry from the dryer, I take it there to fold and put away. There's nowhere in my laundry room to fold or hang up. I only do laundry for myself and my husband; our sons have done their own laundry since they were about 12...

I've been to the Town Square M&G twice and both times it was the automatic camera. I didn't think the pics were very good, either. Odd angle and you didn't know where to look.

Thank you. I thought I had read earlier in the thread that you could add it by calling, but I may have misunderstood. Hopefully one will be available.

I'll be at WDW with my best friend this weekend for Labor Day and celebrating her 50th birthday. I was thinking of ordering one of the Mickey ears cakes to celebrate. The only ADR we have is at Garden Grill on Sunday for the concert series. She made the reservation so I don't think I can edit...

We live in Florida. We have some great colleges and universities here when she does start college.

When we went to the WWII museum, we spent the entire morning there, left for lunch, and went back for another few hours. We stayed in a hotel within walking distance, which was great. There was a good restaurant nearby called Flamingo A-Go-Go that I would go to again. Beignets at Cafe du...

We have to use the designated school photographer to have pics in the yearbook. They use 2 pics - the formal one with the jacket/bowtie for guys and the drape for the girls, and a casual shot. My son's were taken in early July. I ordered probably more than I needed, but oh well. I'll have a...

Mom of a Senior here! He's my "baby" but my older son graduated in 2020 during the covid mess and elected to start working instead of doing online classes. His class missed out on prom, Grad Bash, and a lot of the senior things, so all of that will be new territory for us. My Senior started...

I bake a lot and my chocolate chip cookies are always well-received. I use Ghirardelli chocolate chips and use the recipe on the bag. It has more vanilla than the Tollhouse recipe and I like it much better. I also like Ghirardelli chocolate chips better than Tollhouse. The recipe calls for 2...

Yes, finally! I was hoping for more restaurants to participate this year, but oh well.
