I went last Saturday at the tail end of the yard sale time (which is noon for most). At this time, most people are GIVING stuff away. As I was on my way home from teaching a Half Price Living Seminar, I followed some random signs and found such a great deal. I got 4 HEAVY Kirklands pictures for .75 each - $3 total. One had an original price tag of $39.95 and a sale tag of $29.95. So, if I had paid FULL price for all it would have cost me $120 - so you could say that I saved $117 on my new pictures. WOW! I love YARD SALES!!!!!<br />p.s. There were a few "white marks" from the print being scraped on something - I got some tea bags from when I had just made tea, and rubbed it on the marks.

I pressed the half biscuits down in the cup - added a heaping spoonful of sauce and topped it with cheese.

No the picture is not upside down, they store for longer that way! (I have yet to find a site that says that sour cream freezes well) In searching for some different recipes, I was hungry...don't we all get that way when we see those yummy pictures on the screen or in the book? I wanted to make chicken spaghetti for dinner but did not have any sauce. I did not give up! I had some tomato bisque soup, lots of seasonings, sour cream, and a bag of shredded cheese. The color was interesting, it reminded me of vodka sauce (w/o the vodka) and voila, a new recipe. I was concerned with dh liking it - him not being a huge fan of sour cream. I asked him to finish his first plate before I told him what was in it. He hesitantly agreed, but ate heartily. I told him what it was, and he said he liked it. I asked it if he liked it enough to eat it again...his answer was YES. I scored a new recipe with using sour cream!!!
