1. I'm going to try Stinky the Clown's suggestions

on grilled pizza. I watched all three videos and I think I have it down. I'll have to make Marinara sauce which I still need to can anyway so it'll be a two-fer.

2. We are going to The Colbert Report today!

So after the taping, we'll grab something in Manhattan. I'm so excited! Andrew Sullivan is the guest.

3. So Jealous! Have a great time!

[yellerpup]

5. So psyched!

During the Repiglian convention, of all dates!

10. Have a great time, yellerpup!

I will not be able to watch it until tomorrow due to Hulu time delay, but will look for you. Do something to distinguish yourself!

[yellerpup]

11. I was going to wear my red cowgirl hat,

but our host says no hats (unless it's a baseball cap--and I don't have one). Jeans and t-shirts are the usual attire, so I'm wearing red jeans, white tee, and a red and white striped Oxford shirt over (in case it is chilly in the studio) and walking shoes because we'll be walking about 3 mils r/t. I won't be able to watch until tomorrow either. I hope to do something to distinguish myself, but usually when I try that, I end up humiliated...

18. a DU bumpersticker on your chest would be good

The colors would go with your outfit.

[yellerpup]

21. And I have an extra one on my desk!

Too late. The Colbert Report issued hats to a few of us -- I got one! -- and gave us convention badges and little flags to wave. We had to give them back at the end. It was chaotic but tons of fun!

13. oh cool!

Do let us know how it went.

A neighbor just went to Letterman a couple weeks ago.

20. We had FUN!

This was his first show after a 10 day break and the audience were members of his PAC convention. I am in the Moolah section, second row, in front of the Moolah sign-holder. I'm hoarse from screaming and laughing. Andrew Sullivan is charming. Next, John Stewart over the holidays!

[Lugnut]

23. How cool is that!

I'm sure you'll find something edible in Manhattan.

[yellerpup]

25. I settled for a Sabrette hot dog on the street.

Simple and good. Besides, we were too excited about the show to be hungry. When we returned home we had some leftover Mexican while we watched the show. We didn't show up on any of the crowd shots because we were seated in the two front rows. That's where all the VIP tix were seated and no one in the first two rows was picked up on camera. Interesting...

4. Roasted Lima Bean/Green Olive Casserole, a Bulgur Pilaf and

an Orange-Date Salad .

[yellerpup]

6. Sounds great!

Hike on!

[livetohike]

7. Thanks yellerpup

It's a gorgeous day here and we had some much needed rain last night. No decent hikes planned, but long walks with the dogs....will have to do.

[yellerpup]

8. Lucky you!

Good weather, nice rain, excellent companions...what more do you need?

[cbayer]

9. Leftovers, I think.

I have some leftover steak, grilled chicken and half of my patty melt from last night.

Will probably just heat everything up and set it out.

How about you?

[pinto]

12. French toast w/ peaches, cinnamon. Hickory smoked bacon. Vanilla yogurt.

I had yesterday's dinner leftovers for lunch, figure I'll do breakfast for dinner.

[blaze]

26. French toast w/peaches!!!!

I SO have to do this.

Colorado peaches are just perfect right now!!!!

[pinto]

27. Came out great. I had molasses on hand and dribbled some over it all. It was lick the plate good.

Especially with the hickory smoked bacon. Over the top would be ginger whip cream topping, but I didn't go there. I like lunch / brunch get togethers, though and this would be a good one for that.

(LOL. I feel like I'm channeling Paula Deen)

14. stir fry rice

It may be my favorite dish.

15. Tired and lazy tonight so it's

GASP - frozen pizza!

[pinto]

16. What frozen pizza do you use? I'm not a big pizza eater, but once in a while a slice sounds nice.

Any good small frozen pizzas?

Another option - Boboli pizza crusts. Just fill and heat. http://www.boboli.com/

17. I have used boboli successfully quite often.

They are very shelf stable, which works well for me.

24. DH likes Stouffer's French Bread Pizza in a pinch.

I haven't yet found a frozen pizza that doesn't taste like cardboard.

[Jazzgirl]

19. I had a taste for a BLTA.

Bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado. The lettuce was actually arugula. All was tasty....oh......yum. I was chatting with my niece on my iPad and I got mayo all over the screen.

[grasswire]

22. that sounds so good

That might be my dinner Weds. night.
