Hicks...instead of one pie, why not make "hand pies"? That way you can take one out of the freezer anytime you crave one, instead of having a whole pie hanging around?

I am feeling SO good today about my walking progress! I bet I'll be independent (with a cane) again next week and be able to drive a few blocks to the shopping area with HomeSense, Michaels, Marshals, Winners and of course, PetSmart...!!!

I hope everyone is having just as positive a day as I am!!!

Thanks for the idea; maybe I'll do just that.

I'm soooooo happy that you're making such great progress. It's nice to 'hear' that smile on your face.

Thank you, Hicks...it feels pretty good for a change, too. I'm so much more positive now that I'll walk normally one day. Such a long haul from such a short fall. Enjoy making your little pies!

hicks, another alternative is to make tarts - easy to freeze and thaw.

Lynn, such wonderful news that you are doing so well and feel more free!

oh darn!! Now I must go search for Loocies pic of her blueberry pie!! All the chatter about it makes a gal crave! @Lynn49 you sound so great today!! Positive attitude, sunny skies.....couldn't be happier for you! @Natalka , that heat wave again for you?
That is a test for sure, I'll bet Milan will just gush about getting his very own homemade pie! @22hicks , aw Jake is a clever guy with his wake up tactics, so cute.
Today was a bit of this and that. A short trip to the dump, they have a side area depot where I dropped off 2 old 'puter boxes, then hit WM for my Cliff Bars, took DD to class, later will drop her to work. Made up a large pot of chili, used some black turtle beans and black eyed peas that I had soaked overnight, along with some canned kidneys. Also dumped in a whole jar of these roasted red peppers that I got from RCSS @ 30% off ( they pack them whole, so I diced them up some ) as well as a whole bottle of Passata. ( Hope they all think I used enough chili powder, sometimes it is a gamble how many shakes from the bottle I should give it )

...what time would you like us to show up?

[22hicks]

Here you go. The pic from Loocie's post

[Natalka]

Yup, back in a heat wave - but at least things can be better in here because I can escape to the kitchen where the a/c is!

WOB - the chili powder amount is always variable for me, too! I try to aim for medium because then I can just find it a little spicy - but the men can handle a lot spicier, so I always give them the option of adding hot sauce or salsa.
However, there are plenty of times when I out-spice myself and make it too much for me to handle, lol!

Have a great evening, everyone!

Husband just came home from work, just put supper in the oven, son will be here in an hour.

[heartgirl99]

[danger_dan]

Dan! How's married life treating you?

Hi Nat
Hope you've been able to get some sleep lately.

Married life is treating both DW and I very well thank you
not much has changed for us, other than still getting used to others we speak to referring to our husband/wife

[22hicks]

morning all
Dan, nice to hear.
Have a great day every1.

[dededi]

Good morning everyone.

[Lynn49]

Good morning!!
I've already been outside....because Jenny was just about to step outside by the side door when she turned and saw the guys working on our front entrance, jumped, and I swear, she turned around in mid-air and ran back into the house! Lol......yes, not an adventurous bone in her body. So I had to go into the back yard with her.
Naturally, that's when our DD phoned (as usual on Thursday mornings on her way to one of her banks). I heard it, and thought, of course that's when someone would call! Then I remembered it was Thursday, so
I called her cell, and as it was ringing, she walked into the house to check up on me! It's such a comfort knowing does that...So we chatted for a second, then she got back into her van and called me, and we chatted through her half-hour drive...

Anyhoodles, I hope everyone has a sunny day today; I can't believe July is almost over!!
Enjoy the day and take care of yourselves!!

[22hicks]

lol Lynn; that sounds cute.
Jake would bark like heck that anyone would have the gall to be on our property. lol

How nice of your daughter !!! Very comforting.
Wish I had someone to check up on me like that.
