Not yet, but I am taking her to meet someone tomorrow (a coworker of DH's and he really thinks she'll be great) and I have someone else online that is interested.
Last night after I put my two wild AWs up for bed, she came over to me, rolled over, and let me rub her belly. That's a first for her! And I sat there and CRIED!!! Argh, I can't do this fostering thing. I may need counseling.

Lindsay- Have you tried maybe a weak coffee to ween you off of it? Like brewed coffee 1:1 with hot water... you may find that the tea tastes better!And can I ask a favor if it isn't too much trouble? Can you add the post # when you put up the page number? I have everything backwards from the rest of you guys I guess. And always have to subtract page numbers from current pages(that's advanced math sometimes!) to find the recipes.
WOW!!!! i am sure that is heavenly..and it better be with all those steps. Perhaps i will hunker down in the kitchen in the dead of winter and whip that one up...today its going to be 75 degrees, so it will have to wait!OK.... IMHO, this is the best soup ever. It may have some prep work, but it's worth it.
Smoky Portobello Mushroom Soup- Artist point- Wilderness Lodge
This is the recipe directly from the master recipe file at Artist Point. With basic directions like these I think even DH could walk into the kitchen there and figure it out (I know he'd be stuck on sweating and roux if they didn't spell it out for him)
NIce! I think i'm going to treat myself to a mani and pedi today..i am so overdue, it looks like i have talons on my feet!And since we're going fancy, I did manage to fit in a spa pedi & nails while out running today! Now if I could get all this laundry done & pack.. ugh.
That sounds fantastic. We are going to our favorite italian place saturday night and i am so looking forward to their Gnocchi Aurora. Does anyone have a good "aurora" or pink sauce recipe to share?? This one has a lot of sundried tomatoes in it..yum!Tonight I am making some ricotta-stuffed gnocchi gratineed with a sage-butter-parmesean sauce, a big mixed greens salad, and some crusty bread.
Morning all--
Ross is back and full of a million stories...he had the time of his life....they went out lobstering, which was a surprise to the kids. They also went up into the lighthouse at night. He can't stop talking about it. (proud mom moment warning) and one of the dad's that went came up to me, and said that Ross is quite a boy...and couldn't get over how smart he was, that he knew that these were all smart kids, but Ross is scary smart! He also said that he was excellent, and the best behaved. (that meant more to me then the smart part, lol) I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Mornin...Happy Friday!!
Night before last I had the stuffed sole from Omaha steaks for the first time - it was actually really good. This is when I opened the Chardonnay. Perfect compliments - btw.
We have layed out the Top Sirloin steaks and the burgers from Omaha steaks to eat tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully they are good too!
Let me get ya'lls advice on something.
My DB and SIL have a 3 month old baby boy. He was having trouble with his formula - spitting it up. So they tried some different formulas - same thing.
Well my brilliant Mother told them he's spitting up because of the iron. That he should just drink regular cows milk. So they now give him a bottle of 2% cows milk every few hours.![]()
I told my mom I didn't think this was a good idea - I'm no mother - or expert - but I don't think he should be on cows milk. If we were meant to drink cows milk - our mothers would have cow t*ts. But my aunt who works at a nursing home told her it was ok - "Cause she's a nurse"...I mean - whats wrong with a little spit up - apparently its normal - I mean they did invent the burp cloth for a reason - right?
I took to the internet to find out what I could about it and it is absolutely terrifying what I found!!I immediately forwarded the information I found to my mother - but she seems to be ignoring me - I guess because I'm no nurse or doctor.
They can choose to ignore me if they want - but as soon as the doc finds out - he's gonna be livid. Or they may lie to him. I dunno.
What is your opinion on this? I know - "Back in the day" and "they turned out just fine" and stuff like that...
But in my opinion - this is just as bad as smoking and drinking when your preggers - why would you risk it when today's knowledge has proved the consequences?I'm just the worried aunt...

Today I have to work at school for a bit, and then run some errands. I want to get some hamb. and get it cooked up and frozen, so that when I am recovering from surgery
Just popping in to post a picture of last night's dinner, pasta puttanesca:
Let me get ya'lls advice on something.
OK, I am back. I did not end up making the dinner I had planned because we got home really late. Our train was delayed because a woman fell down the stairs while heading for the platform, apparently broke her ankle, then GOT UP AND WALKED ON IT ONTO THE TRAIN!! Can you say OW!!
No cooking for me!!! Tonight is date night for Alan and me!!! I can't wait! I think we're going to go to Outback Steakhouse. We have a gift certificate that needs to be used!
I hope you have luck tomorrow...I saw your thread yesterday but didn't have a chance to respond. She is a cutie. Does she snore like my new guy?![]()
I can relate to the fostering thing. Our neighbors take in future seeing eye dogs (they foster the puppies)...I know its a very good thing to do but I would be balling my eyes out every time a dog had to go back...they are getting a new puppy on 10/1 and sending the other back on 10/3.![]()
You are a wonderful person to be helping this baby the way you are!![]()
She snores like a freight train!! Our Shih Tzu snores some but nothing like this one! She wakes us up at night =)
I was going to take her today but DH's coworker has decided she def wants her, knows everything about her, and is going to pay the pet deposit at her apt next Friday after she gets paid so we're going to take her to her apt next week, let her get accoustamed, and leave her. Man, just thinking about it is making me eyes swell up! We thought about having them meet today and if the lady wants her, she could come get her tomorrow but since she doesn't have the pet deposit paid yet SHE decided the responsible thing would be to wait until she does. Sounds like a winner! She's a first time dog owner so I'm telling her things she needs to have set up for her.
At least I get another week with her.
HI there,
Well Ed is at home...No procedure yet..They have to do a consult with the surgeon who did his open heart surgery and make sure the procedure they want to do is safe..I saw the xray or his corotid arteries... The damaged one you could barely see..It looked thread size ,where the other side was easily visable.
We are having spaghetti and meatballs today.. I'll cook the meatballs outside of the sauce so that DD ca have hers meatless..I'll use the extra GB to make my stuffed peppers(with macaroni not rice) tomorrow.
Well, keep us posted. How is Ed feeling about all this?
