Tere: Chicken would go well. I think I would poach the chicken in the broth (perhaps doubling the quantity to allow for evaporation), prepare the rest of the recipe as indicated with the original amount of the broth and add the chicken after the soup has been blended. You can use remaining broth little by little to thin to…

Heather: Have a lovely time! The dress is stunning! Bianca: I also second what Mia said. I would speak to the school counsellors or a teacher.…

NYKaren: Can totally relate to the lack of easy conversation. One of our sons is very quiet. Sometimes he opens up, but most of the time, conversation is a little trying. It is night and day with our other son, who is definitely more outgoing. Barbiecat: Wow! The difference between the before and after pants are really…

Becca: You have the patience of a saint! Machka and Sue: Loved the sunset and goat pictures! KJ: The omelette in boiling water is amazing! I would check that…

NYKaren: It sounds like glass half full, glass half empty. I think it is flattering. Obviously there are two excellent candidates and each of you is good enough that they could not bear to lose you. I think I would say yes, but be sure that the contract you sign gives you full control. It is a hard decision.

Okiewoman: Welcome to the group! The more the merrier! Katla: Happy birthday! Karen: Belated happy birthday! Weddings: We had a fairly informal wedding, with very much the look of the sixties and seventies. My grandmother was appalled to be taken down the aisle by a young man with hair half-way down his back. My husband…

Morning ladies. Just popping in. We have back to back visitors this week and next. This week was a friend of more than 30 years from Tanzania. When we first met her, her daughter was 11. This week they brought their grandsons/sons to meet us. It really made me realize how fast time flies. Sending congratulations and hugs…

Happy birthday Chris! Enjoy your vacation!

I have seen it in person once, but watch it regularly on television. I don't have the patience to wait four to six hours to see them zoom by in minutes. I would much rather watch it from start to finish at home. The one time I did see it, they passed right under the window of my office in Geneva, Switzerland. On our recent…

Trishayla: Fifty pounds over two years is great progress! Little by little, you can do it! Meredith: Hope your son finds a job! Allie: I hope you feel better soon! Margaret and KJ: Totally agree that there is something terribly wrong with health care in the USA. The per capita expense per person is almost double that of…

Hello everyone. Just back from a nine-day trip. Had planned to go to Paris just for the weekend to see our sons, but a cousin whom I haven't seen for twelve years contacted me at the last minute to say he and his family would be in Paris at the end of the week. My DH and I decided to cancel our train tickets, drive to…

Greetings to everyone! We got back from our weekend getaway late last night. I enjoyed Friday and Saturday, but in the early hours of the morning on Sunday either had food poisoning or a stomach bug. I spent Sunday in the hotel in bed. I still don't feel great, so am not going to try and read through to catch up. The up…

Paula: Love the flowers! Marci: Sounds like you have set yourself a great plan! Carol: You are definitely right about deaths bringing out the worst in people. My grandmother died in 1985, leaving each of her three children part of the property that had belonged to the family farm. My father's older brother sold his parcels…
