Happy Birthday Lars
Comments (30)Thanks for all the wonderful birthday greetings! It seems like no one sends cards any more - I got one from my boss and one from a co-worker, but nothing in the mail and nothing from my family in the way of a card. I did get a lot of messages on Facebook, but I rarely go there, and so I'll have to take another look. Two co-workers took me to lunch at a nearby Greek restaurant (that I love), and I had Mousaka, but I really love their Lahanodolmades. Anyway, we had a good time, and Carlos told me that he had been craving Greek food ever since he left Montreal. I am planning a relaxed week-end and hope to get my taxes done so that I can budget money for my dental work. I have another dentist appointment on March 2, and we'll discuss the best plan for the tooth at that time. I'm really hoping for a root canal and crown rather than extraction and implant, but I have a feeling that I will end up with the implant. I don't want to get another crown just to lose it. I'm making stuffed portobello mushrooms for dinner tonight - that should be easy enough to eat! Katie - why wouldn't you have kept the Pogo book?!? They are very funny! Thanks again for all your thoughts!! Lars...See MoreHappy Birthday Terri (terri_pacnw)!
Comments (36)Happy Birthday Ter!!!! I hope you found some time in the baseball season cuisinart to do something for yourself. You deserve every iota of being treated to great day or at least a rain check for an evening off! You're amazing! Don't ever forget it!...See MoreHello
Comments (3)Thanks, Scott! Yes, today is my birthday, and you are one of the few who noticed, although I have not checked FB yet. I normally go there only once a week (or less often), but I will go today, since they announce very loudly when you have a birthday. Kevin gave me a nice apron (he gave it to me yesterday, since I won't see him again until late today), and my sister sent me a small package with three items - a cut-proof glove (different from the one I already have, and so that is good), an unusual spatula (looks like a putty knife), and some onion goggles, which may or may not work, but they will be less cumbersome than the swim mask and snorkel I wear when making Habanero sauce. From the Habanero chilies, it is very obvious that breathing the fumes is what causes irritation, which is why a snorkel is necessary. We may or may not go out to dinner tonight, depending on when Kevin gets home. Yesterday morning I started pizza dough to have for dinner, but then I decided that I wanted to make popcorn for the Oscars, and so I put the pizza dough in the fridge, although it will keep for a couple of days. I did make a lime pie for my birthday, and I need to make some whipped cream to put on top of that this evening. I had thought that I had a lot of limes on my tree, but I only had lemons, and so I had to use limes that I had stored in the fridge. I got a whole bunch of them last week, but now there are almost none on the tree. Thanks so much for remembering, Scott! If you like, you can come over for some pie!...See MoreHappy Birthday Lars
Comments (22)It looks like I'm going to be freezing a lot of my lemons, as my tree is pretty much loaded at this point, and it won't be later in the year. I freeze the lemons whole and then defrost them in 10 second intervals in the MW - practically as good a fresh, but they do get a bit softer, which is great for limes, a bit less so for lemons, as it makes it a bit more difficult to zest. Nice to know that you are a fellow designer, Sleevendog! At one time I had hoped to be a set designer, and when I first moved to L.A., I was across the street from what had been MGM studios in Culver City, and I could see the MGM lion on top of one of their buildings from my kitchen window. It was no longer MGM by then, but the lion was still there, although it has been missing for some time. Kevin works there now and it is Sony Studios, but he unfortunately is not in any of the design positions. When I was a clothing designer in San Francisco, I also designed and made costumes for the stage, but never for movies. I will try to check out all of the stores recommended - I really should replace an office chair at home as well, now that I see more interesting options. I really wish I could get some of the dining chairs I designed for my house - or at least an occasional chair, but they would have to give me a deep discount. Thanks for your comment, Sally - that really makes me feel better! Sometimes I do not feel appreciated at work, except from my boss. If I get new chairs, I'll post photos, one way or another!...See More- 11 years ago
