Bob, got the songs, thank you so much!! I already had the Eartha Kitt track (just not quite upbeat enough), and thanks for the offer of the other Xmas ones you have, but in my quest to find this one track, I found just about everything else, plus more, lol. It really was one of those, once I had this song in my head, nothing else would do. Thanks again! I'd offer to send a copy of the finished movie, to say thanks, but I'm not sure the "Smith Family Xmas" would really be your cup of tea, LOL.

COSTCO Took all the advise and preferences to mind. Hubby and I drove over to Costco. Was going to do the "we're going to go get a membership" and just walk around but this Costco is tighter than Fort Knox! They gave us a sheet to fill out for membership and said "walk around, if you find anything you want to buy fill the membership application out, pay for it and your items, come back here for your card but if you don't want to buy now but still want the membership come back here." We walked the whole store. Of the items I knew the prices on -whether we bought them or I just remembered - things were either the same price at both places or more expensive at Costco. Water being the main thing - which is what we buy the most of at Sam's. I wasn't really impressed with Costco BUT maybe it was just this Costco. [Or maybe my expectations were too high hearing how many people prefer Costco to Sam's.] Not impressed with this Sam's either. But for now we'll just keep our Sam's card because of the water, milk is cheaper, and they don't carry my husbands favorite brand of OJ. [My fault, he used to drink Minute Made, Deans in KY, but overall his favorite is Anderson Erickson which I turned him on to when I met him]. I see us going to Sam's maybe once every 4 - 6 weeks, whereas in KY we would go every 2 - 3 weeks or so. So thanks everybody for you comments and suggestions and I'm not ruling Costco out, just the one here.

Twiggy, just enter 'poutine' in your 'search' and I'm sure you'll find out all you want to know about it.

Twiggs, I find poutine disgusting, but in Quebec where its very popular, you can even find it at MacDonalds.

Sorry, Twiggs, I misunderstood your qestion. I have never heard of poutine, I'll have to do a search myself to see what the heck it is.

Just took a quick peek. Sort of looks like the old 'heart attack on a plate' sort of thing.

Americans are not forced to suffer poutine. Canadians are.

I think the Americanized version uses shredded cheese and chili over the fries.

Ok, without me having to google it, can someone explain what poutine is? At first I was thinking it was some kind of oil that fries are cooked in. Or is it just cheese fries with chili?

Without looking it up, I think it is gravy on french fries.

It's melted cheese and gravy on french fries. (Although I did not google this, Google is a great tool Julie)

Cream gravy with cheese poured over french fries? Sounds like cheese-potato soup except crunchy.

I had something like that at a French-Vietnames restaurant locally. It was very odd.. we had the duck a l'orange and it came with crinkle cut french fries in some sort of gravy and orange sauce.

If you do a google search and click on images about the line to type in "poutine", you get some pretty good pictures.

Based on Landi's description, I don't want anything to do with it.

Heart attack on a plate? Yup. But it's pretty tasty stuff. Maybe you have to be Canadian to enjoy it...?

Landi is right. It is cheese curds over fries with brown gravy. I had never had it before hmmm...about 6 months ago. I not only thought it was a "heart attack on a plate" (yes, it is), but I thought it sounded gross, too. But then one late night a group of us revelers stopped for poutine at 2AM (@Fritz, for Karen's info ). And oh my goodness it is the most amazing stuff ever and this place is near my hair salon and every time I go to get my hair done now I have to stop myself from stopping to get some poutine because it is yummy and delicious and scrumptious. But yes, oh so bad for you. But gross and stinky, it is not. The curds are basically like little chunky pieces of fresh mozzarella.

Then perhaps cheese chunks would be a better term?!
