This is an old family recipe that came from my aunt. My other aunt makes it all the time to give as gifts (the notes are hers), and I've made it with my mom too. It's good, and I'd make it again, but next time I'll leave out the slivered almonds - they turned an unappetizing dark color, even thought they tasted good.

Hi ladies, it has been a long time since I was on here but I first told you of the Endocrine Mender I was taking and it did help but never got complete relief so finally went to health dept and saw a ARNP. I told her I thought I had Lichen Sclorsis so she had to do a biopsy to diagnose it. It was painful but it was positive. She gave me a salve (prescription) Clobetasol Propionate. It has saved me. I feel completely normal and have since only a few weeks of using it. If I feel any twinges I put a little on and back to normal. I can not say about intercourse as I don't have a partner to try that :) but I really think I could. I hope you will push to get diagnosed if you are like I was: I could not move without tearing, it burned and/or itched most of the time, was white with what looked like scar tissue . I was miserable and depressed. Please seek help. The med is not very costly and last a long time. Best wishes to you all. P.S. I was depressed cause all I read was there was no cure for Lichen Sclorsis, well this may not be a CURE but sure is a great treatment.I can live with that.

Ooooh! Love the website, Lukkiirish! I most definitely would consider black. My husbands sports paraphernalia has mostly black framing, so that would be perfect. I have to refinish his desk, so maybe a flat black distressed finish would work there. I can always play around with wall color once the trim is finished. And, WOW, Sandy! That is an amazing use of color. It looks great and I love your doors. You have given me a wonderful idea now for our mudroom. I'll be sure to post pictures when I am finished. I do have to wait for the electrician to finish here, so it may be awhile. Thank you both for the ideas!

I was considering just extending the Sage into the hall at 75%. Anyhow, we are going to repaint both the hall and dining room Wondering what will happen with that pink tile...... Won't know for sure until you try it. If you have leftover Sage at 100%, might want to try painting a wall and see what happens. Odds are that Sage at 75% will *do* the same thing relative to the pinky tile. If you want to know for absolute certain, you have to get a tester of Sage @ 75%... but I would change the DR first. I'll explain later in the post. With pinky-beige anything, carpet, tile, counter tops, it pays to work with it a bit to see what happens because it can be manipulated. As we all saw with nuxemego's "pinky beige" carpet. In her case it turned out that the pinky beige carpet wasn't really pinky-beige after all. It just looked that way because of the context it was living in. Once she moved the carpet into other rooms and changed the wall color near it, basically changed the context in which the carpet was viewed, it did not appear "pinky". Architectural color can be full of surprises and is never boring! :) One of two things happens every single time with pinky-beige. Either what was thought to be a "pinky-beige" turns out not so pink after all or the most unappealing aspects of the pinky-beige lunges forward and the color just isn't pretty. The rules of engagement for pinky-beige are not cut-n-dry. It's not totally about what colors are supposed to "go" with it or not. That's only part of the story. The other part of the story is the light. Light is boss and it is within that dimension of color where it is decided what's going to happen -- either the pinky turns into pleasing or pinky turns into ick. Light is boss. And most people do not have the capacity to step into a room and "read the light" -- like, it's not a skill most people need to use on a daily basis, ya know? :~) So, the best you can do is experiment with the logical options and just *see* how it goes. See what happens. I would try painting the dining room Olive first -- leave the hallway Aqua... and see what happens. Can always paint the hallway @75% Sage after the DR i done in Olive. As far as partnering up Sage and Olive -- I love it. I absolutely think they will *go* together. If Sage is working for you in the new home's light, pretty good bet you're going to feel the same way about Olive in the dining room. It will be a lot of green, contrast will be minimal and flow (as they say) will be a rather quiet transition from room to room. Especially if you end up with Sage @75% instead of Aqua in the hallway. I love the combo of Aqua and Sage (and maybe Olive too). The current pic is very pretty. But it has to feel fabulous too. I admire you for aknowledging what's working for you and what's not. Trusting your gut and putting that first in order to get the colors right is a far better use of your energies than dwelling on the mis-step with Aqua and spinning your wheels trying to force it to work for you. Yes, you have to find a new color and yes it's a repaint. In the end, it will be worth it. It will be worth it because wall color is the armature of atmosphere. Atmosphere does not come from a chair or a rug or strategially placed shiny doo-dads (a.k.a decorating). Wall color influences atmosphere more than anything else due to the fact that its volume is physically enveloping and it commands more three-dimensional visual real estate than anything else in the room. I'd like to see a bowl of green apples, a rug, or 'the perfect ottoman' do that. ;~D
