Timelies all!

After we get lunch and groceries, I'll use the treadmill. Only used it one time last week, due to schedule and laziness. Passover wipes out Monday and Tuesday, but I'll hopefully get Wed. and Thurs. Haven't been back swimming yet, since it's more effort than using the treadmill. (Not in terms of the actual exersize, but rather in terms of the before and after)

Happy April Fool's Day!

Anyone know where this tradition originates? Someone must.

Happy April Fool's Day!

I have made sour-cream coffee cake and it's in the oven. However I am skeptical of the Silver Palate people. What does "two cups unshelled pecans, chopped" mean to you?

2 cups whole pecans, which you then chop? Or two cups of chopped pecans? Because I buy TJ's pecan pieces for baking.

... this cake may have way too many nuts in it. Ooops.

The first, I think. But I'm not sure too many nuts is really a possibility, so I wouldn't worry about it.

"two cups unshelled pecans, chopped"

You chop them with their shells on?

Thanks for the thoughts. Marie (who's been sitting on the desk reading the posts) will take them to Teddy. She's been taking care of him since we got the news. Even Max is being nicer to him.

Tomorrow Teddy goes in for a radiograph or -gram. We'll know more then (we hope) about why he's lost weight.

I'm with brenda. And now I wish I had coffee cake!

I'm feeling vaguely guilty about not going to church on Palm Sunday, not that I've gone regularly in years, so I guess that ship has sailed.

2 cups whole pecans, which you then chop?

I would say this. 2 cups of already-chopped nuts seems like a lot for a cake. But who the hell buys unshelled pecans?

I imagine they mean de-shelled.

I didn't buy the frozen naan when I was at TJs the other day, but I just remembered my childhood hippy cookbook has a recipe for chappatis, so I think I'm going to do that! Fun.

I was going to make ice cream today, but it seems I managed to move without any vanilla extract. Which means I need to go shopping again, which is annoying.
