Marc and I went to one of the local second-run theaters to see Salt today. I didn't hate it. In fact, I thought it was fun and was relieved that so much of the action relied on the chase and not fantastical, poorly-done special effects. Sure, physics went out the window at times, and the reveal was not surprising, but it totally engaged me anyway

not bad? hmm i may choose to go see it then.

and happy event! sounds like its all well in plan....
i agree, BBQ means someone stuck at the grill.. may i suggest you use yoru crock pot to make an appetizer dip?

Ooo! That's a good idea. We have plans for a chocolate fountain, but for those peeps who don't want sweets, a hot dip would hit the spot. I know my mom used to make one w/ fake cheese (Velveeta) and canned tomatoes...but if you have a yummier recipe to share, it would be much appreciated :-)

BTW--kudos on all of the housework you've been doing.

want fancy do a google search on "artichoke dip crockpot recipe" i can look it up in my book if you cant find it.

for simpler dips, take some kind of cheese that melts well, or a cream soup!!!! and add seasoning and spinach.

and if you LIKE garlic...

1 pound peeled garlic
1 pound small onions or chopped onions
place in crock pot, cover with a mixture of 60/40 oil and balsamic vinegar or wine. with added seasoning to taste
cook on medium to low for many hours or until garlic mashes easily.

this can be cooked in an over (two hours, at about 250F) and then moved to crock pot to stay warm, i think it comes out better that way.

also you can make french onion soup base in your crock pot, and let people dip it out, then add a slice of bread and cheese..
