Too funny!!!!! Congrats!!

We are not there yet so I'm sure I'll eventually be gleaning info

from you !!! I love to read your posts.

On a side note, I cooked some squash to put in meatballs. When I

came back after it cooled it was missing!! I went to my daughter's

room and she has an orange ring around her mouth!! lOVE IT!!

finally made fire, and he keeps shouting, " Look at what I have

done?! I... I, have made FIRE!! I - HAVE - MADE - FIRE!! " Well,

that's me... " I... have made CHEESE!! " I feel like super-woman. I

dripped my yogurt and squeezed it between the towels and books (what

great, easy to follow instructions, thanks for that Marilyn). And

there it is - I started with milk, then yogurt, now CHEESE... who

knew I could do that? This stuff is a great texture and I know

we'll use it lots of ways. I feel so empowered, I'm making KETCHUP

as we " speak " , from SCRATCH... who kidnapped me and who is this

person left in my place?? It DOES take time and it DOES have to

take precedence over other things, but it is great. At

Teeter, the kids didn't even balk when I refused them the " free

cookies " they give out there - they got pancakes (I put pureed pear

and some vanilla to sweeten) and they asked for MORE!

That's a great story!

Did you ever imagine your daughter sneaking in to swipe your squash??

I know how you feel. I have always been a " color by numbers " kind of

cook. I was afraid to step out and even tweek a recipe. I just

visited the www.pecanbread.com website and was amused by the number

of recipes that have my name on them. Is that the same ? Last

month I went to spend a week with my mom and brother. They were

shocked to watch me in the kitchen. I used to call my mom on how to

cook something. Now she is calling me for cooking advise!
