Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Rita, I'm going to be fixing your Chicken Caccitatore recipe today from our Cookin' For A Cure cookbook (if we can find salt pork). HOWEVER, being originally from Indiana...guess it goes without saying that I'll be pulling for the Colts. HOWEVER, I now have lots of friends in NE so it'll be okay either way.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Dear , Look in the grocer's deli section by the bacon or by the hams. If the butcher says he does not have salt pork try smoked bacon or even proscutto or pancetta( i think that would work). I have had the same thing with finding salt pork but it was easier than i thought. Chicken cacciotore, yummm... sounds so good for a Sunday dinner.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 : All I can say is enjoy the chicken, follow the directions, don't overcook the chicken!!! As for the football game, it's snowing, the Pats are the underdog, really ticks me off, they feel like Manning is the only quartertback in the game, but we have a guy named Brady who is pretty good also. Enjoy the chicken and the game! Rita Luv & Hugs! ************************************* Some people succeed in spite of their handicap. Others succeed because of them.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Rita, You sound like me, I always seem to do too much, and regret it the next day. I have always been one to finish a project that I have started. I cant start something then just let it go for awhile. I want to finish and see the out come. All my doctors keep telling me to pace myself, I know I need too, but just cant. Sandy Accomplishments Hi Folks: As most of you know, and I ave been helping our daughter remodel there new (old) home they recently purchased. Well for the last two days, we have been stripping wallpaper and painting woodwork and all the trim. Yesterday I did three windows (sitting on my walker) and three doors and door casings. By 4 o'clock yesterday I was so tired I was spilling paint all over me , the floors and my poor walker looks like the 102nd Dalmation). By the time we arrived home last night, couldn't hardly walk, and today my legs are barely moving. Was it worth it??? Don't know, but to stand back and look at what I accomplished, I think it might be just worth the effort, I have mixed feelings. It has been such a long time since I have done anything that strenuous. Well now I will throw a roast beef in the oven, and see my Patriots can handle the Colts. The Colts are pampered playing in a covered dome. My Pats are pretty rugged. That should rejuvenate me (if they win). Have a great Sunday!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Sandy: I don't normally over-tax my body.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi Rita, I'm proud of you! Some folks might use this horrible disease as an excuse not to do those things which use to come easy to us, but you push those doors to see if they open (in other words, Can I do it?) and that makes you special. Your attitude will keep you going until we beat this thing! You are an inspiration. Yes, you are all tuckered out, but if you had not tried it, how would you have known if you could do it. Well, my friend, rest well and recover and don't ever give up trying. Take care.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yolanda: Once again you make made me feel 10 feet tall, but when I went on the coaster (The Superman at 6 Flags). I just did it, never gave danger a thought. If I thought about it, I probably would not even consider it. Would I do it again? NO! I just felt that I was strapped in good what harm was there in trying. It did toss me around a great deal, but I had 8 of my grandkids in the seats behind me rooting me on (I was in the first car) I had to set a good example for them didn't I? They still talk about it. Oh well, they can't say the Grandmother was a " wimp " LOL! Have a good week! Rita Luv & Hugs! ************************************* Some people succeed in spite of their handicap.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 And the plot thickens! Oh Boy! For sure your grand kids are proud. If it's going to take my grand kids a trip for me on any ride, so that they will realize I'm not a wimp, well guess what...., I'M A WIMP, I ADMIT IT KIDS! (smile) The best ride I can do now (for the meantime) is ride them on my lap when I'm in my " Pronto " (electric wheelchair) and I have, so there..., my friend (not too much of a wimp, right?).

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yolanda: I hope you don't think I think your a wimp??? That was just a figure of speech. Some of my grandkids are to old to sit on my lap (they have girlfriends and boyfriends to that). I have a few little one's who love to sit and ride, why not. My chair has a beep and the love to press that button. When I do stupid things like ride a roller coaster, if I stopped and thought about it, I would be a wimp. My kids are 5 months to 18 years old, 14 of them and boy do they keep you hoping (not literally) I mean (rolling). Enough--good night!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Rita, I know you did not call me a wimp, I called myself a wimp. I'm sorry, I just don't do roller coasters. Wow, you have a crew! That's a blessing. I know you are never, ever, ever, lonely, right? I have three children age range from 12 to 33 and three grandbabies ages 5 - 6. Oh I enjoy all of them so much. They light up my life. God is so good. Well, you do need the rest for sure. Take care.
