Hi everyone...it's me Lucy. I'm sure those that know who I am are shocked and amazed...:smile: Matt has finally graduated and his Open House was this past Saturday...all the family is gone and we have our house back totally after having been "invaded" for about 15 days. What a mess to clean up! Now I can finally get myself…

Hi everyone. I know it's been awhile. Matt is at prom tonight and I can't sleep. I am finished with finals and school until Fall again. Currently gardening and cleaning like a mad woman to get the house in order for graduation and open house and all that...sorry I haven't posted in a long while. Hazel, thanks for not…

Hello all, Debbie - I like the idea of an herb garden. My fav is basil, I can sit and smell fresh basil for hours! I grow it every year in my garden. I also grow 2 diff types of chives, which I also love on lots of stuff. Since you like Garlic, garlic chives would be nice to grow, they are easy, the flowers are very pretty…

Thanks Julie for the info on how to do the photos. Please keep in touch, I think you have my personal email. I understand the political thing, I too am that way and am becoming increasingly frustrated by things currently. Anyway, keep in touch! Cindy - I agree with Julie, you are inspirational! Back to studying, only 2…

Hey all, I hope everyone is doing well, it looks like it. This morning I've got more of my final report stuff to work on and quizzes to take but I thought I would take a small break and post. Yes I'm still alive...in case anyone was wondering. Debbie, How is your daughter this morning? It is pretty scary, especially with…

Mornin' Girls, Bebe - you are right, it is hard to do school, work and everything but I'm trying. I don't want to let anyone down. A while back you asked about the Avon pedometer I got, well, truth be told, I haven't figured it out yet, only that it talks...should be interesting once I figure it out. :) Also, I have 2 6…

Hi all, Sorry I haven't been on for a while. So much going on. I haven't been able to read everything and so that means I will probably miss something so I'm sorry. Welcome to all the newbies! I have been studying and also I've been sick so...anyway. Take the kitties to be declawed tomorrow which will be nice. It is…

Hi everyone, I started off with a banana this a.m. and some coffee. I finally got my pedometer from Avon yesterday and I now need to figure it out. Hazel - you sound like you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Debbie - I'm sorry about the arthritis. We are having some nice weather here today and I'm looking foward to…

Hi all, Sorry I've also been MIA. I haven't been feeling well and I've been working on final projects for my classes. We also adopted 2 adorable 6-mo old kitties, who are keeping me on my toes too. I have been doing ok with eating and stuff. Julie - keep up informed about your DH. Debbie - Thanks for the email. I…

WTG Cindy!!!! That is great!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Glad to hear everyone had a nice holiday. Julie, I didn't get to see the pics of your house, but I will try at home. I'm going to be bummed if I can't see them. BL, Lucy

Gosh Debbie, good to hear from you! I'm glad you are doing well and its fun to have family over. You and your family have an AWESOME Easter as well. Lucy :flowerforyou: :heart:

Hi girls!!! :flowerforyou: Good morning to everyone! I'm continuing reading that book "The Gospel of Food..." and I came across something that I wanted to share; mind you I'm only in chapter 2 so I have a ways to go, but I thot this was pretty profound... "In an interview, Angell told me that the incessant warnings about…

Hi everyone, I LOVE the idea of camping in a cabin on a lake!!! And Memphis area sounds fine with me. Hazel, you are awesome. I will pray the Lord heal you completely! What did you grow up eating? I'm interested since you've said you don't know much about dairy and don't care for pasta and such... Cindy - Wow, 36! What…

Good morning all! Can't say much now, but wanted to say hello; be back later! Lucy :flowerforyou:

Hi HEETers! I wanted to say goodnight. Julie - I had a good time today, esp hearing your story. I used to live in some apartments where a family from Pakistan lived right across the hallway and that hallway smelled all the time. I think it was like the family you mentioned. My mouth would salivate when I would come home…

Goodie!!! I can't wait to see the step-by-step pictures...but now I hope you actually like them. I would hate for you to go thru all this effort and then not like them...what am I saying! Of course you will like them! LOL Lucy

Good, and I want video just in case they explode again...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :cry: :cry: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh come on Cindy...you have to at least try it once. Canned and frozen are soooo different tasting. You too Julie! *I'm stomping my feet and having a fit* Go get some tissue, settle down, make your plans for fresh artichokes for next weeks supper....DH will love you for it.... Now I'm going to keep bugging you guys!:devil:…

Julie - :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: rotf :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :happy: :tongue: :laugh: :laugh: What a GREAT story! They are so worth the effort though!!! Try again!!! You are toooo funny.

LOL - have someone else do the prep for you, then all you do is eat...trust me, they are good. It's cool though that you want to try 1 new one a week. I want to do that with fruit and fish. I'm not a big fish fan.

Cindy - you have to try an artichoke then. I'm not sure how to say it tastes it is unique. But very yummy. Don't try the frozen or canned or anything though, those taste way different than fresh. The artichoke is actually the flower bud of a thorn plant! (just some trivia) I can't wait for you to try it and let me know…

Julie - have you tried baked eggs? In a custard cup you put in 1/4 t butter, 1 slice thin deli ham, 1 egg, sprinkle cheese over top Put cup in pan with hot water about 1/4 to 1/2 way up the custard cup. Bake in hot water bath for about 15 min. or until you like it. I think its on 350. Top with fresh chives when you take it…

Julie - Also, this website I posted for Indian food has some breakfast ideas. I think I'm going to try some soon. Let me know if you do.

Julie, check out the link I posted earlier, the recipes aren't as hard to follow as they seem. I don't grind the whole seeds and stuff if I don't have to, I just buy them already crushed or ground or whatever. I just love Indian food and once even made it for our Easter dinner...it was great! I was encouraged when I found…

Hi girls! I've uploaded my birthday pic with my twin brother Nathan. We turned 44 on 4/4, neat huh! :smile: Anyway, while I don't particularly like my pic, I like the whole pic of us...we don't have very many and this day was particularly nice which is why this is my favortie picture. :heart: Cindy - Sorry to hear about…

Hi everyone...HI YARI...OMG I am soooo glad I found you! Anyway, Matt turns 18 today...I promise I will post birthday pics today too. For now I have to get my son's BD on track. Julie - Really quick, Korma is an Indian dish and its come in veggie, chicken, pretty much anything. I will post a recipe later today too...I…

Guess what!!! I found Yari...hopefully she'll show up here soon! Lucy

Hi everyone, I'm so glad to see Bebe back!!! but sad to see Debbie go... This morning I ate my Nutty Flax cereal w/2% milk. For lunch I had yogurt, Vegetable Korma (yummo) and an orange. My goal for this month is to make sure that everything I put in my mouth is a whole food. Tonight I get my hair done and I'm looking…

Good morning everyone! I had an awesome birthday thanks to all my well wishers and song singers!!! I will post a picture later of me and my brother, we are twins, and this is the first time in a long, long time we were able to spend our birthday together with no troubles at all...it was awesome! I can't post much now but…
