>cookbook team, i sent in a recipe several days ago, but I never got a confirmation e-mail or anything like that. Did you get my recipe?
We did get it. I’m sorry you didn’t get a confirmation e-mail.
Stephanie, thanks! We got the recipe, and it looks delish!
And Raq answers much faster than I do!
Job~ma to Anne and Trudy!
{{{{{Polgara and Sister}}}}} I have no words. I am so very, very sorry.
Steph, I’m so glad your dad is ok.
Kara is SUCH a cutie!
Oh, and Aidan in his pizza is just adorable!
Pardon me while I sniffle.
Me too!
I have had a bio-filled day. I’m exhausted. Is it bedtime yet?
Glad your father's doing OK, Steph.
Emmet's story is why I don't let kids get away with even that punch-to-the-sholder greeting in the library. It can escalte or change way too fast.
Yeah, this happened once with the kids I was teaching this summer. Started as playing, quickly became actual fighting.
Steph, I love that picture. Your bro and his wife look so happy (and relieved).
I'd leave it, Windsparrow, but I'm reckless about such things.
That picture of gap-toothed Kara only made me think "Where have I seen that smile before . . . oh, yes,
Jaws
was on last week."
Oh, I forgot to comment on the Emmet situation... I think because it caused unfortunate flashbacks. I'm glad you were there for him, Hec. I hope it doesn't happen again.
I have 223 pages to read before 4:30pm tomorrow. How likely is this to actually happen?
Cookbookies, did you happen to snag the peach salsa recipe I posted?
And, umm, do any of you remember where I posted it? I need to archive it locally, and it only exists here, drat it.
I'd leave it, Windsparrow, but I'm reckless about such things.
Eh, I've heard of people storing soups and porridges on the stove, just bringing the pot to a boil every 6 or 8 hours. I had it on the very lowest heat setting, and it had a vigorous boil going. So I'm thinking it may not even have cooled off much before 6. If we die of food poisoning, I'll be sure to post one last time.
You're the little bug that could, vw. I say it is entirely likely. Walk away from the PC, and start reading.
Oh, Deena, good for Kara. I know that's hard. Chris did something similar last week. He went to a friend's for his first real playdate. The mother told me I could stay as long as I like, but he's been dying for a playdate since Julia started having them last year.
I was talking to her for a few minutes, while Chris and his friend were in the other room. Then he came into the room we were in, and said, "Okay Mommy, you need to go home, now." The other mother was practically in tears on my behalf. I'd expected it, because when Chris asked if I'd be staying (back when we were still home), I'd explained that the mother said I could stay for a little hiwle, or the whole time, whichever seemed more comfortable. He'd said he wanted to have the playdate on his own, like Ben and Julia do, without Mommy staying.
I think we decide it means they are well adjusted and secure in our love. *Sniff*
