Thanks for sharing this with us! They are really cute! Julie

Hey there Milkdud! Good to see you! I am sorry to hear about the twinges, but glad to hear that you are making progress!! Deb, I am so happy to hear you sound so happy!!! Way to go on the pound lost too! Keep it up! Zig, I see.... it's your CAR'S fault that you buy so many shoes! : ) Day 2, all is well. I went shopping for all of the Easter dinner stuff today after finalizing the menu last night. NOT a dietetic menu by any means! Well, it is not quite a pair of shoes but.... I treated myself to a Spring cleaning of my entire house! I hired DS to clean it from top to bottom. Yes, he has regular daily chores, but I wanted someone to tear the house apart and do a detailed cleaning, hands and knees scrubbing, walls and windows washed, patio and garage cleaned and summer ready. He is doing a WONDERFUL job. Cooking Easter dinner in my newly scrubbed/reorganized kitchen will be a real treat! See you tomorrow! Tikanas

I was checking out who had it online the other day and while you might not want 6 bottles of it.. smiles... Amazon has 6 bottles for $27.05. It's free shipping too. Most places sell it for between five and six or up to eight dollars, so that's a great price. They say they're 15 oz bottles. Maybe somebody else would want to go in on it with you?? I've always heard of it described as a mayo with more vinegar and also with a mustard taste. Sounds good. Smiles. My DW used it when she used to travel to the UK all the time for buisness. Surprised she didn't bring any back. I have a head of savoy cabbage so I'm going to make my easy 'stuffed' cabbage casserole that I described above. It makes it so easy and quick which is just what we want on a Saturday night. Steam the cabbage briefly, layer it with dirty rice, pour some tomato juice mixed with onion and garlic powder between layers and on top and bake for about 40 minutes. I'll see if I can manage to take a picture. I seem to be terrible at that. The camera is always in the other room and it's a kind of big house and by the time I'm done cooking I'm not walking very well. LOL.. We will see. Oh btw, I always make two dishes of this because Christy gets burnt out on "red" since I always have something made with red sauce around I make her a version with just some broth on it. I do stuffed peppers for her the same way. No red. I do love the red on it but prefer tomato juice since it's nice and light although I'll just water down tomato sauce or puree with chicken stock/broth, if I don't have any handy.

Haven't we all experiences some version of something in this story?! One of the main reasons I don't like Thanksgiving as a holiday, in general. Too many minefields. Most of our own making, but so it goes. Best to laugh about it.
