Fantastic sweater and I love the combo with the skinnies and boots.</p> <p>I have extremely fond memories of cooking and baking with my Mom - just think of the wonderful memories you are building with your children.</p> <p>And you and Angie have made me sooooooo hungry reading this thread </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking/page/2#post-1100404 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:05:23 +0000 amiable 1100404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Karie - saltine toffee! &nbsp;One of our favorites here too, though usually it's reserved for Christmas. &nbsp;I think I have the stuff to whip up a batch. &nbsp;I might have to do so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking/page/2#post-1100364 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 13:09:41 +0000 Karie 1100364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those recipes sound delish - I love to cook - I will pop over to the OT thread to get your recipe too, Angie! This is the first time in about a billion years that I am not hosting Thanksgiving (my sister-in-law is) because of Frankenboot. I am making Baked Pineapple - it's an always requested family favorite, and Saltine Toffee Candy (sounds weird, but it's sweet and salty and delish).</p> <p>And Amy, you look wonderful in that plum color. I love those lace up boots!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100338 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:49:56 +0000 Lantana 1100338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy I Adore your new hairstyle. Phew, it is a knockout.<br /> And so are those lace up boots. You look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100261 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 06:23:18 +0000 Alexandra 1100261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, your haircut looks great! Too bad the salon experience wasn't ideal. Love the plum color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100260 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 06:17:30 +0000 anne 1100260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to eat lunch now!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100207 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 04:15:55 +0000 Anonymous 1100207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yum! What was&nbsp;this thread about anyway? I forgot!</p> <p>Ah, yes your gorgeous "blow out" and your pretty plum sweater. Your hair turned out fantastic! This could end up being a blessing in disguise for a busy mom. You look pretty in your sweater too and love the Docs!</p> <p>I'm waiting with bated breath to see what your Goodwill purchasing analysis reveals. Happy Thanksgiving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100172 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 03:11:09 +0000 Jaime 1100172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy you are just too much! You have even already grown into your haircut! Happy eating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100144 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:50:31 +0000 crazyone 1100144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, the dishes you're making sound delicious! And I'm also a throw things together instead of measure things out type of cook, as well.&nbsp; And Amiable, that's impressive of you to promise a batch of cookies for each one of your kids!&nbsp; I love the plum sweater on you, it's a great color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100135 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:43:41 +0000 Angie 1100135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect and thanks, Amy. I bet your pretzel dessert tastes delish. You're sweet to make your sister's favourite for her tomorrow. I like that.&nbsp;My sweet potato dish has to be dairy-free because our host - Meredith - is dairy intolerant. That's why I bring this side instead of ordinary mash. And everyone at the dinner table likes a good kick in their food so it's all good. The kids normally bypass my sweet potato and load up on corn bread.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100127 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:36:20 +0000 amiable 1100127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and not measuring but just popping everything together is exactly the way my husband cooks (he's a much better cook than I am).&nbsp; I'm growing toward being that way myself - though it's a slow process :)&nbsp; But I love watching and learning from it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100125 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:35:11 +0000 amiable 1100125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds wonderful - Thank you!<br />One of my sisters also stir fries her beans - I love them that way (I don't think she puts ginger in hers - I have to try that).&nbsp; I'm doing green bean casserole (with the cream of mushroom soup), because it's a different sister's favorite, and she's going to be in town for the feast.&nbsp; </p> <p>The strawberry pretzel salad didn't turn out as pretty as it should have, because I was slow in putting on the third layer.&nbsp; But it's reasonable - I'll take a pic in the light tomorrow :)</p> <p>Getting ready to clean up the kitchen.&nbsp; That was a bit too much for me this evening - whew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100099 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 02:11:15 +0000 Angie 1100099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Amy. The recipe is in my head so I'll pop it onto the OT thread at some point soon. I don't measure anything - just throw it all in. Is that okay?&nbsp;Your strawberry&nbsp;pretzel dessert - like a bread pudding I bet&nbsp;- sounds divine. Would love to see a picture of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm stir frying French beans in garlic, salt&nbsp;and ginger. Nothing more than that. Nice and fresh with the rich&nbsp;sweet potato.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100073 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:44:29 +0000 amiable 1100073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie those sound amazing!&nbsp; Can I have the recipe (or a link) to your spicy coconut sweet potato?&nbsp; I really want to try it!&nbsp; And your other items sound completely wonderful too - I've never had any of them.</p> <p>I just have to make haricot vert tomorrow too (although a very American version), and bake bread.&nbsp; I decided on a sour dough bread, so it's rising now.&nbsp; The strawberry pretzel salad/dessert is almost done.&nbsp; We still have two batches of cookies to bake (one we postponed to another day).&nbsp; I'm feeling in pretty good shape for a relaxing day tomorrow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100062 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:29:28 +0000 Angie 1100062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just made crab salad and spicy coconut sweet potato for tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day feast. (These dishes&nbsp;taste better when they're made in advance). I'll save you some if those dishes tickle your fancy, Amy. All that's left to do tomorrow is the&nbsp;haricot vert and bread pudding, along with orange and white chocolate scones for breakfast.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay. No more hijacking. I just love to cook.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100057 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:26:58 +0000 JillG 1100057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sound like one cool mom!&nbsp; I love the plum color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100047 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:20:23 +0000 Deborah 1100047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, your hair looks absolutely fab.&nbsp; It's amazing what a bit of self styling can achieve :)&nbsp; You are putting my parenting to shame here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1100039 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:12:24 +0000 Suz 1100039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sounds of your cookie (yummy), I love the looks of your hair, and I think plum is a lovely colour on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1099937 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 22:48:53 +0000 Angie 1099937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How dreadfully awful of me to leave you out.

The new cut complements your face, and the back will grow quickly. I've had a few bad cuts myself; at least with hair nothing is permament! I think the salon should offer you a year of free services to make up for the bad cut.</p> <p>Happy cookie baking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-for-baking#post-1099887 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 21:49:49 +0000 biscuitsmom 1099887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!
