    Thanks for the link, GG! Just ordered it, and we love ALL of them....sure glad they evolved, as a baby boomer, we grew up with boring meat and potatoes... As a side note: a friend once gave me a whole vanilla pod in a jar of sugar that I let set for awhile and that was the most wonderful...

    Linguine vs Spaghetti

    we splurged on some fresh fettucine yesterday to go with my spicy meat sauce and it was delicious! What I liked about it was that it didn't take as long as the packaged kind of noodles. Next we're going try are the fresh stuffed pasta with a meat sauce.

    44% of people polled say Grocery Shopping is now....

    Lived in Oman for 8 years and the laundry room was on the 3rd floor which included a long flight of stone steps and I had a load just about daily......I didn't need a stairmaster to bulk up my legs....

    My 2nd (Pfizer) is this Wednesday and hoping the side effects won't be too onerous.....would love not to wake up with a tag on my toes, either, Lee Vining!! The first one was a breeze, though I wanted to eat everything in sight for days! Guess I'd better start my diet now.....

    Petty Vents

    I keep up with lots of gossip/news out there and this includes what's going on across the pond :) Don't approve of some of the antics out there, however, though I think the queen has done an admiral job given her challenges......some of her offspring and outlaws not so much...........
