I know you said you must have vinager with greens -- but spinach with a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil ( and sesame seeds) sooo goood.

Hmmm. I could try soy sauce. I didn't think about that!

Okay. Sweet potatoes, edamame, cauliflower, greens with soy sauce. That should be good to be going on with.

Thanks!

Olive oil and garlic is good too, Teppy. I guess if your tongue looks okay, it isn't a fungal thing or an infection, but I'm still wondering, a little.

Yay vw!!! Reading that email made me so happy for you.

Steph, what about green beans? You can steam them and toss them with soy sauce and a little sesame oil, and it is yummy. But I agree with Cindy that the sore tongue thing is a little worrisome, especially if it's been going on for several weeks. Have you asked your doctor?

vw, congrats on the grade, and the nice email!

Yay, vw!!!

Yay, VW! Congrats. I know how hard that was for you - and B+ is fantastic.

Tosses extra glitter and chocolate in your general direction.

Yay for the bug! who is evil and sent my children the plastic parachutists of stringy doom. I've untangled them three times now, and I only got the mail 10 minutes ago.

Tep, I hope it improves quickly.

Bwahahahahaha! That came FAST! Did Kara get her package too?

Thank you, everyone! That e-mail just absolutely made my day. I had to share with everyone who believed in me and knew it all along.

Speaking of kids, Leif has now named a number of his stuffed animals and his all-important blanket. His blanket is now "Blankie-Joe", his doggie is now named "Alphabet", and his moose (thanks to Ginger) is "Leifa". He also decided to leap off the top of a dresser this weekend and got a sprained ankle.

Nope, no other envelope/package yet. But, she's so excited by the parachutists that it's probably a good thing. Maybe it will be here tomorrow.
