Wonderful World for a Perfect Nut!!!

I like to go out walkin' with you
Love to walk around
Watch the ships sail in
Yes and watch the sun go down
From the galleries down to Mallory
In the town we love the best
And there's nothing like her island beauty
DOWN IN OL' KEY WEST
Now some folks they love their money, honey
And a fancy cup of tea
Me I love the moonlight dancing
With you cheek to cheek
All the palm trees and the breezes
In the town we love the best
And there's nothing like her island beauty
DOWN IN OL' KEY WEST
 
And I love to go out swimming
And a kissing on the docks
And I love you from the tip of your snorkel
Down to your surf mocs
All the pirate ships and treasures buried
Deep in a sailor's chest
And there's nothing like her island beauty
DOWN IN OL' KEY WEST
 
From Sloppy Joe's to Diva's and we're
Doin' the Duval crawl
And Hog's Breath is better, yes
Than no breath at all
All the blenders and the vendors
In the town we love the best
And there's nothing like her island beauty
DOWN IN OL' KEY WEST
 
Now it's mile marker zero
That is marker double-O
One song for my baby
Yes and one song for the road
All the music and the people
In the town we love the best
And there's nothing like her island beauty
DOWN IN OL' KEY WEST

My daughter wore this dress Saturday night to the Western Michigan University Band Prom. This was her third year in the marching band, and her dad and I wanted to do something special for her as she was contemplating this being her last year. She has since tried out for a staff position, and if she gets it, she says she's in for one more year! LOL!! You can never get too much of a good thing!

Meatball Bubble Biscuits
Servings: 16
Ingredients:
• 1 (16 1/3 ounce) can ready-to-bake refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits (or other LAYER biscuits)
• 8 frozen cooked Italian meatballs, thawed, each cut in half
• 1 pkg mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
• 1 tablespoon grated or shredded parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup marinara sauce, heated
 
1) Heat oven to 375°F.
2) Separate dough into 8 biscuits.
3) Separate each biscuit into 2 layers.
4) Between wax paper, press each biscuit layer with the bottom of a glass to form a 3-inch round.
5) Place 1 meatball half, cut side up, and sprinkle cheese over the top, in center of each dough round.
6) Wrap dough around meatball and cheese, pressing edges to seal.
7) Place seam side down in single layer in ungreased 8 or 9-inch round cake pan.
8) Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
9) Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are no longer doughy in center.
10) Remove the biscuits from the pan.
11) Serve warm biscuits with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Variations:
A) Reduced Calorie – Use Reduced Fat Grand’s biscuits, reduced fat or skim cheeses, turkey meatballs (add additional Italian spice blend, sprinkle over meat ball before sealing to add flavor) and organic marinara sauce.
B) Substitute pepperoni slices, chunks of sausage (smoked, sweet Italian, Andouille) for the meatballs.
C) Vegetarian – Use 1 tablespoon of sauce and cheese to fill biscuit, add small pieces of black olives, mushrooms, peppers, or even pineapple. Spinach, Alfredo sauce and feta cheese can also be used instead for a different twist.
D) BBQ Chicken- Use pre-cooked diced chicken, and BBQ sauce instead of meatballs and marinara. Sauce can be added inside or used for dipping after cooking. Want more flavor? Add bacon bits over chicken and cheese before wrapping and baking.
E) Chicken Alfredo – Use diced pre-cooked chicken, and pre-washed and cooked spinach chopped in small pieces or broccoli chopped in small pieces, and 1 tablespoon of bottled or fresh Alfredo sauce to biscuit before wrapping and baking. Have additional Alfredo for dipping.
F) Hawaiian – Use chopped Canadian bacon or Black Forest Ham, and pineapple tidbits for the filling. Shredded mozzarella, provolone or Havarti can be used to adjust the flavor. Use a smooth, not chunky marinara sauce, and prior to adding the sauce to the biscuit, or for dipping, mix in the juice of the pineapple to taste, and use this “improved, sweetened” sauce for this recipe. Think the pineapple juice is too strong or acidic? You can use table sugar to slightly sweeten the sauce as well, without getting the extra acid from the juice.

Who wouldn't love to cuddle with the Batman?? He is so mysterious and solemn. He just needs someone to love and understand him. I'd love a date with him, scaling tall buildings and swinging from the rooftops! Let's have a midnight picnic on the tallest building in Gotham City!

To sail away chasing the horizon, ne'er to be seen again. I would welcome the adventure with Jack Sparrow.

I've been in love with Don Juan DeMarco for years. Still one of my most favorite movies, Johnny exudes raw sexuality and epitomizes the Don Juan character. Brian Adams "Have you ever really loved a Woman", adds the romantic soundtrack to an already perfect illusion. This would be my number 1 date with a fictional character! http://www.polyvore.com/50_fictional_character_date_challenge/group.show?id=113280

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa makes all your dreams come true!
