Location? orlando, fl And just for fun: Are they supposed to match? With 4 kids I don't have much matching anything. Let's see, some are dark blue, some are white, some are plastic with cartoon characters, my favorite are plastic with fish on them. I have my grandmother's set that are white with a purple flower and gold edging, but we don't use those, ever. ______________________ ______________________ Message 2 " Meg " itszen4me Mon May 8, 2006 5:00am(PDT) Re: OT: Gas question We don't normally drive more than 10 miles a day, we live in a city where nothing is more than a few miles away, but it's not walking or biking friendly and it's too much of a hassle and too expensive to ride the bus with all of us. We sold our 2nd vehicle last year so we only have the mini van now. We need a larger vehicle since there are 6 of us, soon to be 7. We're probably going to trade it in for a small conversion van when we move later this month and hubby has to get his own vehicle again for work purposes. While we don't normally drive more than 10 miles a day we will be in the next few weeks as we're moving to another state, but once we get there we wont be more than 13 miles or so from hubby's work. I'll be driving a bit more to get my kids to and from their homeschool activities and dance classes and stuff because of the more remote location. OTOH, we are also going to be paying less in house payments and have double the house size, so it's really going to be same-same in the end. The gas prices were hurting us because my husband was unemployed, but honestly, he was unemployed for a long time so if gas was still $1.99 a gallon it would still have hurt us. The only difference was at $3.00 a gallon we could only get 4 gallons of gas, versus at $2 a gallon we could get 6 gallons....so really, that's not a huge difference in our lives.

Mother's Day [in the US that is] is coming right up, so naturally she will be the focus of this week's group questions. QOTW [questions of the week] for May 7th - 13th: 1. When you were living home, would you say your Mom was a good cook or skilled in the kitchen? 2. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate the food served in your home when you were growing up? [if another family member did most of the cooking, who were they and how would you rate their cooking?] 3. Did this person [Mom or who ever] cook anything that you would consider their signature dish or family favorite that to this day just the thought of takes you back to being a kid again? 4. Did your Mom teach you how to cook any special meal, dish or dessert? [hint: we'd all love the recipe if it is vegetarian or you have adapted into a vegetarian item] ______________________ ______________________ Message 4 " ~ PT ~ " patchouli_troll Mon May 8, 2006 7:08am(PDT) Re: Test--My Wife virus That makes sense.

Wow, Keith, you sound like a fascinating guy. I reckon we would get along quite well. Where do you live? A little veggie/vegan shop would be so cool. I have that dream too. Funny to hear you otherwise wanting to get out of the culinary world. But, you've been there done that, while I have not. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog ______________________ ______________________ Message 8 " ~ PT ~ " patchouli_troll Mon May 8, 2006 7:34am(PDT) Re: Peanut Butter Balls ~ thanks Lorri & a question Thanks for posting this recipe, Lorri. One year i hosted 50+ people at my home for my husband's office Xmas party, and some of us did a cookie exchange after the dinner. This one lady brought these peanut butter balls, but when asked she refused to share the recipe claiming it was secret. *lol* Now i think i finally have it. Hey, do you think this will work using natural peanut butter, like Admas brand? Or does it require a more commercial brand like Jif?

When you were living home, would you say your Mom was a good cook or skilled in the kitchen? My mother worked outside the home and had a long commute. Dinner was mostly quick, a lot of stir fry and meatloaf in my memory. She made a pot roast with carrots and onions every sunday to cook while we attended church. We probably would have had a lot of take out and delivery except we lived in the country and you had to drive 30 miles to get to the nearest pizza joint and it would be cold by the time she got it home. 2. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate the food served in your home when you were growing up? I'd have to say 8 because i don't recall it being not good and I obviously didn't go hungry 3. Did this person [Mom or who ever] cook anything that youwould consider their signature dish or family favorite that to this day just the thought of takes you back to being a kid again? not my mom, really. My dad made beef stroganoff 4. Did your Mom teach you how to cook any special meal, dish or dessert? [hint: we'd all love the recipe if it is vegetarian or you have adapted into a vegetarian item] nope, we never cooked together. Once I was 13 or so I was expected to make dinner several nights a week, we usually had a salad or stir fry or pasta, etc. meg ______________________ ______________________ Message 11 " linda " lindai81 Mon May 8, 2006 7:56am(PDT) Re: Gas Question Boogie It was the thought that counted...at least that is what they tell me...does it work for you?
