Happy Late Birthday, Em!!!

I don't think you East Coasters will need a leaf blower . . . from the way it sounds, it's all going to blow into the midwest. Em, can I borrow you new leaf blower? After you're done wif it, of course.

Pick up some vanilla on your way home and eat cake for dinner?

Hope your day improves soon

[Darn210]

i had to replace my student i.d.

I thought the ID made it through the washer OK . . . you didn't send it through the dryer, too, did you?

Cake for dinner sounds good!

[shadowicewolf]

Yeah, it did, however they insisted.

And i can't go to the store till friday... -sigh- else i'd totaly make that cake.

[GottaSki]

Skip the vanilla and add a teaspoon of sugar or honey

Holy Toledo! The wind is really kicking up now Yikes!!

Was just wondering how far you are from the water. Don't drown, 'k?

[jerseyangel]

Was just wondering how far you are from the water. Don't drown, 'k?

Well... .....I dunno if that will be any time soon -- I keep going out and suckin' things up with it... .. . ..leaves and chestnuts continue to fall.....dogs suddenly poop.... And YES, poop mulches very well!

So... remember that food and tooth issue i had a little bit back? Had it again yesterday and today. I got yesterdays madness out, but then there was todays. I had my soup for lunch and couldnt get the irritent out (had to rush to class). Came back and had dinner then proceeded for the next hour to floss the heck out of it. Nothing but sorness and bleeding. Then i got the salt water out and swished the heck out of it and noticed it did remove something! I believe that worked as its only a bit sensative with my retainer in and no pain without it (as opposed to senative without the retainer and throbing with).

-sigh-

so does anyone have a good method for getting meat to become tender? I normally buy potroasts and cut them up for soup, however, more often then not, i don't let it cook for more than an hour so its still sort of tough (thus gettign stuck in between that tooth). Any tips? My mom suggested slicing it really thin (i really try to do this but my hands aren't very coordinated i'm afraid) and to score it?

also, would honey work in place of the vanilla in that cake? I was thinking about it a bit ago and thought i'd ask (it was suggested a bit ago).

[GFinDC]

Get yourself a pressure cooker and cook for your roast for an hour. It will be plenty tender. Is your retainer pressing on your gum line? Maybe that is a side cause of the irritation?

[JNBunnie1]

For pot roasts, go for cuts that have more fat, like chuck roast. I made

one the other day that was fantastic. And for heaven's sake cook it

longer! Tell me your method, oven or stovetop?

And yes, honey would fine, the vanilla doesn't affect the chemistry of

the cake, only the flavor. It is not essential.

As expected, Sandy missed us here. Still waiting to hear from my family up north... how did our psillys fair???
