Hi E! Nice to hear from you and thanks for the valentine's day hugs. I gave ALL of them a hug - except the turtle; the turtle doesn't like to be handled LOL

I continue to enjoy your positive messages/posts. Congratulations on your recent pairings = 2 gold & 2 blues. Very pretty

Did you get pass for the Q Beach Party?

That pic reminds me of Australian Gold Coast. I used to go there on the beach with mom and dad. I feel your plight of having to be back in this kind of weather. It sucks!!! Really, it has been pouring here and I wonder when this rain will ever stop. Oh, btw we will be losing one hour tonight, too. Have a great evening and nice to meet you

Hi Ecat! Thanks for the holiday message Things should be returning to normal soon. Everyone survived the outage except our dog. We had to put him down, but it wasn't weather related. He was so riddled with cancer, there was no black where there should be on his xray. At least he was 14, and he lived most of his adopted life with us, so he had a good, long, happy, loved life

thanx, Ecat. i'm hoping so.

A warm thank you for your rep this week!

Here is the Quinoa recipe-4 cups cooked Quinoa. Whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1/8 lime juice, 1 tsp dry mustard. 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 cup olive oil ( i use bertolli extra light tasting cause I find reg olive oil too strong) Pour the dressing over the Quinoa, then add diced tomatoes, cucumbers, about 1/4 cup of each or however much you want to add. The recipe calls for videlia onion but I usually leave it out cause we generally eat it as a lunch dish. It is very fresh tasting, I think because of the lime juice! Have a great day

Yup-I have been entering, the last day would have been amazing to be there! I see you posted you are using Quinoa-me too! My daughter loves this salad I make with a honey-lime dressing, it really complimnets the nutty flavor

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!
