I told my daughter about this and she remarked, "Wow, God must seriously love Angela!"

Very, Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. I have not ever seen that kind of container--and not knowing of its existence , would never have looked! I've been using the buckets and gamma lids and like them just fine, but I can see that having clear containers on wheels would be great in the kitchen for the products you have opened and are using.

Congrats to Katy! I just talked to her on the phone, LOL!

Hoping for the best on all of your testing--hang in there Angela!

LOL! I also make radish sandwiches but I use butter spray instead of mayo. Radishes are great little veggies. They lower blood sugar and are good for diabetics. Your radishes look great!

Yeah, it's a good thing I'm a girl. All the men in our family on Dad's side are BALD! LOL

Get the pool passes out, Angela...and he's right! Doing exercise in the water will help you a lot. I did this the summer I wrecked my ankle and managed to lose weight. Go for it!

Canned ham salad, canned turkey salad...we make this a lot for lunches. Also cheese sandwiches and a cup of soup is favorite lunch here.

I've had to make "sandwiches" without bread for myself and have used lettuce leaves instead. Another favorite is to stuff thin-walled green peppers with tuna salad and just eat it like an ice cream cone. Some of us have to think outside the bread, too! LOL

Yes there IS good news! (You made it home! You still have your sense of humor! You still have ME--well that could be construed by some as bad news but...there it is, LOL ) HUGZ

Hey sweetie..I am thinking of you today. I hope all goes well. Please have your friends call me and tell me how things go.

Awww...Sweetie. I sure wish I could be there while you have your surgery and help. I'm glad though that your church sisters are pitching in. I hope to meet them all one day and thank them for taking care of my best bud!!

Those are gorgeous! You could can some...but I think the dehydrating idea is best for such an abundance. (Go ahead laugh at me..I forgot you refer to the kids as monkeys...and I thought for a minute somehow you had a colony of wild monkeys of the animal variety down there attacking your trees LOL :::::::::::thwacking self on head::::

Sometimes you just can't win for losing....keeping you in our prayers here..may you have more productive days ahead! Hugs

Awww..it's hard when friends pack up and move. As a person who has moved all over the country, my friends are a patchwork map of long-distance relationships now. True friends stick with you, though, even over the miles. Hugs!

Angela, I could have told you about the MRI being noisy...but I didn't think to. (I had one of my HEAD..imagine that NOISE! Like you have your head in a helmet and they are pelting you with a zillion hail stones) Can't wait to see pics of your garden!

We messed around with our PB powder some years back and our successful experiments included molasses, a little salt--and some chocolate powder. The cocoa we had mixed with water and sugar first. We also mixed some with the molasses for one batch. We made chocolate peanut butter this way--although we all thought it tasted more chocolate than PB, LOL

I think to really enjoy this product, you have to "forget" the regular taste of your jarred PB. So it might be something you bring out of the preps when people have been pining for PB without having it for a while....you'll have complete "success" at that point.

We have used the Emergency Essentials recipes for PB cookies. They are pretty good.

Not sure how much I can contribute to the discussion, but I'm all ears. Thanks Cat for doing this!

A little beauty!

LOL Vic, just think what the dog would do if the alarm actually went off! (He'd probably drag you from under the covers!) Feel better!!

Most of what we do every day seems "boring." But you know what? It's the little things in life that often are most significant. How we spend our days in doing our work, prepping, taking care of families, trying to juggle all the stuff we must do and keep it all straight--well that's the stuff of real life, the stuff we would miss most if we got stuck in a nursing a home or something. So any time life is dull--rejoice! (Nothing BAD is happening in that case) Hugz!

Ohh. ... sometimes just the possibility is all we need to perk up. I can so totally relate. HUGS....and here's to next times!

Angela, over the years, you have taught ME plenty. Thanks. Good job on the impromptu class! I KNOW it was hit.

Oh I can so relate to this, Stephanie. We very rarely eat out and now that we are used to eating at home, everyone is noticing something interesting: the food is BETTER at home, LOL!!! Daughter is having prom night dinner here, catered by mom and dad, who will treat dd and guest as if they are in a five star restaurant. Which, when you come to think of it..we ARE, haha. Cooking from scratch....the BEST

I love your recipies...and your notes. (that one about the pink Zote for example sums up my thoughts its scent, too, LOL)

Oh my...what a challenge to create a better dish than his mom's !! I had to laugh about the "kosher" sausage. BTW, if you like gravy at all, it is possible to make this with sausage-flavored TVP and have it be nearly grease free and still really kosher!

Yikes! Physical therapy sometimes is NOT fun. It can make you feel worse although in the long run it HELPS! Wishing you the best and hoping they find some kind of good treatment for you!
