Oh, I didn't realized you cooked them first!

But when I used pre-cooked frozen meatballs, I just put them in a saucepan with a teeny bit of water to thaw and reheat.

Yep, I cooked them in olive oil before freezing.
Good luck. WEre you not happy with the other place?
Thanks... I needed it, as you'll see!

I like the other place, but niether of us was getting much actual instruction. Which has turned out to be a problem.

great on the riding!! I play with my horsies more than I ride, but I'd like to ride more--they get very spoiled and self centered when they aren't ridden much.

I've seen that, too. I like just being around them; they soothe me!
Thanks everyone!

DD is doing fine. Her body aches, she still has a big bump on her head, and she is having trouble eating, but otherwise ok. She is going to school tomorrow but no physical activity.
Aw, I'm glad she's recovering!
How long is the drive to WDW for you? I think I remember something about 1 and a half to 2 hours?
Yep, it's usually about 1.5 hours.
let them simmer in some red sauce.

I`m married to a very italian family..
LOL, I'M a very Italian family, too! But there just isn't time to defrost them in the sauce on weekdays, though that's my preferred method.
Hello. I'm alive and sort of well. Got a HUGE patch over my right eye.
And you're online?!?!

Feel better!
We get 15 sick days per year. If we don't use them we can carry them over into the next year. WE can carry up to 200 days. WHen you retire, they give you cash for 30% of those days. It's a nice perk. However, you have those people who figure those sick days are extra vacation days. I know people who are there 25 years and don't have a sick day to their name.
I have been there 20 years (next month). I have been getting paid this entire time I have been out because, here's a novel concept, I use sick days for when we are sick!
Gosh, I wish we had a system like that. Ours is all one bank of hours and amounts to about 2.5 weeks a year. So, especially if you have kids, you have to decide whether to be sick or take a vacation.
I started my TR please go and read
On my way!
I'm glad you had fun at AK. It seems like we only spend a morning there every trip, but I think we'll end up with a whole day this March,
Y'know, I hadn't thought about it, but maybe that's the trick; I've always just planned a morning too and felt rushed and overwhelmed. Taking a day and meandering a lot was so much nicer!

Careful what you wish for... I did, indeed, canter - but not by choice, lol! Wow, the horse I rode last night has some get-up-and-go and took off in a canter when I wasn't ready. I'll be honest - it scared me. A lot. My adrenaline kicked into overdrive and I kind of fell apart when I got home.

But it was a good learning experience; I've found that I've been doing some things incorrectly and my new instructor will help me fix that.
Meanwhile, I've had a raging sinus infection for more than a month, which wasn't helping. My balance and vision are all off; I tipped over in the stupid shower this morning! Went to the clinic and am now armed with antibiotics, so hope is in sight.
Happy Tuesday all!
