It's a CI recipe, if you are a subscriber.

Oh, cool. I keep all my CI back-issues, so it should be in my kitchen somewhere.

C'mon, Cash! Cookie dough takes ten minutes. Flour, sugar, butter, ta da!

Did ya miss the "lazy" part? I use butter flavored Crisco for cookies--they're softer. And I think DH predated the only bag of chocolate chips I have in the house. There may not be enough for a batch.

I caught Owen using the picture in picture feature on the television this morning--Maisy on one channel, Handy Manny on the other.

Foreign bodies can move in all sorts of directions. Me, I'd go to the doctor, even though I hate them. Of course, that's tinged by hearing some weird-assed real life stories this weekend (which I'm dutifully not sharing).

it would be in '05 or '06 (I'm pretty sure)... it's funny, I was cruising through our old issues looking for butternut squash risotto and came across all sorts of things, like the chicken salad, as well as an AWESOME pan roasted broccoli recipe. So easy and so good! Definitely a valuable return to the old CIs.

And for that I thank you.

Heh. If our TV could do that, Sara would be blissed.

AmyLiz's glass shard reminded me of a 'foriegn bodies making their way out' story that I haven't thought of in yonks.

My father worked with a fellow who flew planes in WWII. One day, an artillery shell came through the windshield and hit this fellow in the face. His compatriots thought he was dead, so they tossed him out over enemy lines. Miraculously, he survived the fall and was taken prisoner by the Germans.

"Prison" in this case, meant the best medical facility in the country, where extraordinary measures were taken to revive him and reconstruct his face.

"Reconstruction" in this case, was better than one might expect for having taken a missile to the face, but...his skin was mottled and bumpy. Being the curious child I was, I asked why he looked like that...he just smiled and said that he'd had an 'accident'.

Later, my father told me that bits of shrapnel were STILL making their way out of his skin, some 40 years after the event.

The care he received just boggled my mind...and the human body's ability to cope did the same.

Hec, have you gotten a Salem package at your house yet? Just checking.

JZ confirms that we did indeed receive a McWarringle package filled with organic bathsoaps and baby wear advocating dirt play. We thank you!

Excellent. The bathy stuff is for her- take a look at the name of the massage oil, it cracked me up.

Hec, since we're asking, did you guys get a package from me via Amazon?

an AWESOME pan roasted broccoli recipe.

Oh that sounds so good. Share? I think my subscription lapsed and I only had it for this year, pretty much...
