I'm picky! That's why SK nicknamed me Princess.

Don't forget the high maintenance part. Thom's halo is always very shiny.

OK, V does spoil him also.

Copied and printed for future use. Thanks V.

Now to find the time to make them. This weekend I am hunting so may have to wait until Monday when everyone is out from under my feet. LOL

Gosh...I might have more confidence than brains....(don't even begin to talk to my friends...) but I don't give a flying fig whether or not someone waves at me on the trail. I NEVER fail to smile at the oncoming bicyclist....but don't think twice about it if I don't get a response. I DO get alot of smiles back, by the way.

We traveled for years in a big motor home. I belonged to an online newsgroup that dealt with this very issue. Some motor homers got all bent out of shape if another motor home driver didn't wave. Good Lord. Has anyone ever driven a wide body 38 foot diesel pusher down the road? I had all I could do to keep that baby between the white lines when I drove which was seldom. Taking one hand off the wheel wasn't even an option.

It's the same principle.....

My 2 cents....

Best to all...
Bike on!!!

V - Thanks for the cookie recipe. Sound pretty easy to whip up, so I think I'll make some tomorrow afternoon to surprise my DH. I might put those Trader Joe mini peanut butter cups in them instead of chocolate chips though. ;-)

**Veronica** · 11-10-2006, 01:49 PM

Oh thanks for the idea. I want to make some cookies for Mark, the guy at Riv. who made my bike so pretty.

He likes chocolate and peanut butter together.

I was going to use my peanut butter cookie recipe and add chocolate chips to it. But I like your idea better.

There are "mini peanut butter cups"?

I wish I hadn't read that.

You are holding out on us!

You have a pb cookie recipe, do share. Please!

**Veronica** · 11-10-2006, 02:06 PM

I don't know. I don't have that one typed out already on my hard drive. I also have oatmeal raisin which I don't eat, but Thom loves.

My recipes come from Cuisine Magazine. I love it. It comes every two months and gets me to try some new things. They have sections on wares and techniques. It's great. This month's has a cake recipe I want to try, but cake is too big for two people and doesn't freeze. I freeze my cookies.

Oh yes indeed. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? If not PM me and I will gladly send you some.

Oh wow, that must have been fun! Sometimes LeeBob (DH) and I talk about getting one and taking off with our bikes strapped inside and explore the country. Wouldn't that be a great SAG vehicle ? OK, maybe a bit big for a SAG, but still. Bathroom and fridge, and couch, what more can one ask for in a SAG vehicle?

Has anyone ever driven a wide body 38 foot diesel pusher down the road?

Ah, therein lies the rub. Or one of many. I'd be terrified driving one of those !!!

Heh, once you get comfy riding in packs, you can learn the Fine Art of shooting Snot Rockets from our dear Princess Zippy.

Or better yet, do a search on it.

ducking and running, again !

Jobob - We rented a motor home to travel through France and watch the Tour one year. It was epic on so many levels. Not the least of which was emptying the toilet "tank" at French gas stations. Oh and driving the beast through tiny old streets. Camping on a tilt at Plateau de Beille so the fridge turns off and the pate and cheese got warm and stinky... I could go on and on.... We named it "Shamu".

BM03 - fortunately, I do have a TJ's (or two) nearby. Thanks, though.

Cake can be frozen, as can frosting, but cake never lasts in my house.

**jobob** · 11-10-2006, 02:26 PM

Not the pate and cheese !

Oh, the humanity !

I assume the Bordeaux fared just fine though.

Ah, Happy Friday one and all. I wonder how Snap is doing in Vegas. Hope she has pictures.

**maillotpois** · 11-10-2006, 02:29 PM

Oh the humanity is right - we had to sleep with rotten pate smell for several days.... The PP didn't notice as she was busy getting crumbs into her bed (which she shared with one of our friends we picked up halfway through the trip who is, remarkably, still speaking to us after camping in a motor home for a week with us).

It was fun, but I don't think we'd do it again.
