    I know, but that was my heritage speaking.  Have you ever heard a Norwegian start a dessert recipe without a pound of butter or at least a pint of cream?  Maybe if they had access to good lard! Wink  Joking of course, mostly.

     Eric- I think Sharon will feel a lot better after the port removal but not so much after a tooth extraction! I was asleep during my port removal and was so happy to have it gone! I think because teeth can get infected is why they are being so careful with her right now, but I understand what you are saying, she should not be having to go through this pain at all! Hmm raisons in stuffed peppers? Sounds interresting! I am not a raison person unless they are chocolate covered I use chocolate covered raisons in my oatmeal cookies!

    Specialk- I have used the vegan butter which is pretty good so maybe that would be a choice although don't know how it would cook up in a cake??

    Chabba- LOL! I agree butter and cream!

    Eric,  So sorry Sharon has to go through this now.  Nothing worse than a toothache or earache.

    Helping a friend paint her new house so she can get moved in quickly..going through a divorce.  So last night got home at 9 and had to put something together fast Did a  stirfry with all of the fresh veges in the house, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, onions, mushrooms, threw in some lo mein noodles (they come frozen already cooked)  some wine and butter and garlic Done in 20min.

    Laurie My sister is doing well, thanks.  She has Dr appoints in Aug and will make a decision and have surgery Sept 5  She wanted to wait till she has her big family reunion in Aug and her son will come home from Seattle  She will tell him when he gets here, then the surgeon is on vacation.  She is leaning towards a lumpectomy and radiation as her tumor is sm and stage 1

    Well  Off to paint some more and then a car show tonight.  Happy weekend everyone

    Debbie:  That wheezing doesn't sound good...you probably have bronchitis that has become chronic, and the z-pac should do the trick.  I did hear that there is an epidemic going around of whooping cough in adults...don't know if there is a test they can do for that.  That dressing for your spinach salad sounds wonderful!

    Laurie:  Hope DS gets better soon....little kids run fevers so easily.  My DGGD is now having seizures every time she gets an ear infection and fever.  They say that some young babies have these, but it worries me none the less.  DGD is taking her to an ENT for evaluation.  Her neurological workup was normal.  Always something with kids....now I have to worry about the DGC:( 

    Marcia 1111:  Welcome to the thread...I see you live in Boca...I spend the winters in Coral Springs, the next town south of you.  I'll be back there the end of August for my DGD's third birthday.

    Well, time to get back to my routine of exercise, and also some much needed housecleaning that has been neglected.  I did several loads of laundry last night, so am caught up there.  It rained while I was away, so the plants are doing fine.  Guess I'll have to break down and cook tonight.  We were so full from our lunch yesterday that we didn't even eat dinner.  

    Have a great Friday everyone!

    I am SO irritated right now!  This morning I got up and thought, hey my sinus' feel a little better maybe it's going to be a good day?  Then, after getting my boys dressed DS #1 decided to hang from my arm and threw my back out!!!!!  I managed to get us all in the car and to the chiropractor and it's a little better but jeez!  This is not what I need.  I still managed to go to the grocery store but I have no idea what I even bought.  Getting ready to lay down for their nap time with an ice pack on my back. 

    Thanks for letting me vent :)

    Laurie - geez, could life please give you a little break???  I hope you have some good drug, or at least something like Aleve or Motrin!

    Welcome, Marcia!

    I was going to head to the new outlet mall before taking my mom for a physical.  But the sky opened up with some much-needed rain, so I guess walking around outside wouldn't be that much fun right now.  I'm craving Italian food.  If I don't whip up something for lunch, we're going to an Italian restaurant for dinner.  I have decided...lol!

    Laurie, sorry you traded one pain for the other! DS needs to realize he is a big boy now.

    Have not heard of Penzey's, will have to check it out when we are travelling. We were in Napa in May 2011, and I have to say their Whole Foods is the most amazing store I have ever seen. Foodie paradise. And the wine!

    Did not have steak last night. Went to our favorite burger place instead. I had a bison green chile burger on a GF bun. We'll have steak tonight. Then something besides beef for a few days!

    Speaking of dijon, the dressing we love is a vinaigrette with dijon too. I got a couple of glass salad dressing bottles from Amazon, and they have the ratios for different dressings printed on them. We are stuck on one, though. I use the California olive oil from TJ's, their wine vinegar, maybe 1/4 cup of flavored balsamic (usually fig), dijon, S&P, garlic and a bit of water. The balsamic makes it thick. The olive oil solidifies in the refrigerator, so you have to remember to take it out early. So good!

    It's so easy I can't figure out why I haven't been doing that forever. My next project is sprouting. I want to grow my own broccoli sprouts and maybe a micro salad mix. Anyone tried that?

    Laurie:  So sorry about your back....that's a bummer....sometimes the chiorpractor is the only answer.  Mine did that once on Xmas Eve when I was planning the dinner for the entire family.  A visit to the CP at least let me get around a little.

    Diana NM:  That dressing sounds really good, and that burger place even better.  I wish we had something like that in Fl and NC!  Apparently they do, but it's over in Raleigh.

    I cleaned house today..top to bottom...left the stairs and lower level for my BF to vacum when he gets home from golf.  Now I'm going to take a hot shower and relax a little before starting dinner which will be turkey breast, cornbread stuffing w/cranberries & nuts, sweet potato, and green salad with grapes and walnuts.

    Enjoy your evening everyone.

    Carrie- Thanks for the update on your sister. and glad she is doing ok. She has a wonderful sister to  help her through this :-)))

    Kaara- I was worried about whooping cough too, your right there is a big epidemic going around but the dr. heard me cough so i guess he didn't think I had it. Whooping cough sounds like a seal bark mine is more like the croup or broncittas.Seems to of settled down since i started the zpac. 

    Ooh Laurie thats aweful you certainly didn't need this right now!! Hopeful with some rest, ice and a pain pill it will help. I hear there is a miracle cure out there called a "Margaritta" have a few tonight see if that helps. Tongue out. Seriously though hope it gets better quick.

    Michelle- How are your feet doing? Hope they have finally healed.

    Dianna- Your dressing sounds really good, I love the fig balsamic its so good. I have not done the sprouting before I am sure someone here has be interresting to find out how.

    I am making Caroles chicken crock pot recipe, but added some carrots, yams and parsnips along with the onion decided to put a little chx stock in there since i have veggies and was afraid they might burn or stick. Smells yummy! Dh just called and asked if we were going to the Mist or the Sea hag tonight, I totally forgot it was friday our night out for dinner. Just have to put it in fridge when its done and eat it tomorrow.

    Lunch was dates (been loving them lately) with stilston blue cheese and crackers. I used to loathe dates now I crave them. Who knew!

    Kaara I am coming to your house for dinner!  It must be cooler there today?

    Debbie dinner sounds yummy!  I was thinking if getting something for the crock pot too...but had no ideas while in the store :/  I am with you on the pain!!  I won't take any meds being alone with the kids.  I tried ice and it didn't help so I switched to heat and an Aleve.  That did help:)  I just got Jake to vacuum and steam clean my floors!  LOL!  And I am contemplating a glass of wine right now....

    Dinner....I am thinking it will be pizza, I bought a dough at the store since mine never turns out right.  Some ceasar salad, something simple.

    Diana- those salad bottles sound great!  I should make my own dressings more often.  I never think of it and never have the right stuff on hand.

    Laurie, sorry you had more trouble. Diana, just a note, be careful when you sprout something. Samonella can be a problem with home sprouts.

    You all sound like amazing cooks!  I am hoping that you will inspire me.  I haven't been doing much cooking since my dx.  I've been so lucky in that my friends have provided meals for many nights since then.  The downside is that I have gained a ton of weight from all the comfort food!

    Tonight my DH and I are going out to dinner with some friends.  My son had 4 wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and the oral surgeon thought he could eat pancakes today so that's what I made for both kids' dinner.  I used the recipe on the back of a bag of ground flax seeds.  The recipe called for buttermilk, but I used almond milk instead.  They were yummy.  Breakfast for dinner?  Why not?

    Thanks, Debbie!  Today is the first day I've felt like I had a really "good" hair day!  My feet are 100% better.  I was at the hospital today - my mom's doc is at the same one where JoyceK works so I saw her afterwards (she looked good) and showed her my feet...lol.  Yeah, they're almost all healed. 

    Speaking of my mom, we're definitely moving her so she had a physical today.  BP 112/60, pulse 64, oxygen 95%...if she only had her brain (reminds me of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz).  She's so physically fit it's ridiculous!  The doc wanted to see her walk, so she literally jogged around the exam room!!!

    Marcia - ouch on the wisdom teeth removal!  I remember when my girls had that done.  Neither of them do pain very well Wink

    It must be a tooth phase.



    Sharon had a tooth pulled today...and a root canal started... dinner tonight will be something soft that doesn't require a straw... She's taking Vicodin. So while beer is soft and doesn't need a straw....it probably wouldn't be a good idea.

    Yeah, Eric, um, hold the beer for awhile. Um, at least for Sharon!. You may need it! LOL. Michelle, glad your feet are better. And glad your mom still has a sense of humor. Marcia, ouch, I hope the girls go easy on you and aren't too demanding. BTW, the autocorrect is seriously misogynistic! Keeps wanting to spell Marcia as Marcus! LOL

    LOL, Deb!  Congrats on being done with Arimidex!!!

    We had dinner at a local Italian restaurant - I had chicken with mushrooms and artichokes.  It was good and reminded me of a dish at one of our favorite little cafes in Independence, MO.
    Now we are watching the opening ceremonies, too!
