After nap time, sounds like "Run Through the Sprinkler" time. Mom can find a shady place to lay and there will be drippy adorababies for you to laugh at.
Praying you feel better quickly, MissCris.
Will send Evie over to watch them, and then you and I can get a couple of two bedroom suites at the Hilton, with room service. Maybe then will both feel better.
The doctor thought at first it was a gall stone lodged in my bile duct, but instead it turned out to be gastric inflammation. Either way, not fun. Was able to keep a little bit of food down yesterday and today, but not sit up for long periods of time

Yup! Leave the kids to me! I'm a professional! ...Well...that's only half-true. Though I do have years of experience watching over kids. Especially babies. Babies are the BEST. <3
meh, babies. But give me kids who can talk?
Lol yeah they're pretty cool too.
I've had some pretty interesting conversations with my cousin's kids before (they're 4 and 5 years old). haha
My friend's granddaughter is 6, and she came into the market last Saturday. She's such a cutie! They came in searching for clothes for her American Girl doll (one of my neighbors makes them). She was telling me ALL about the long-sleeved top she purchased because Caroline doesn't have ANY other long sleeved clothes, and it's going to be winter soon. So earnest.
What a Love!
What a Love!

No need but I appreciate it. Just wondering if there's a trick to getting parchment paper to unroll and lay flat on the baking sheet without wrinkling it all up, especially when you're down to the last quarter of a roll. Been making danish (snail) pastries and they bake the best on parchment, but they're pretty delicate when they're proofing so the paper needs to be smoothe and flat. Thx for any help.Sid! Ask away (or pm me if you would rather). I'm comfortable with that.

Boy, if you figure out a better method, please let me know.No need but I appreciate it.

what I do (depending on what I'm working with) is loosely roll the parchment in the opposite direction... typically works.
If it doesn't? I take a tiny bit of the dough/batter and put it on the bottom of the parchment in the corners just so it sticks a little bit.
hope it helps.

Chicken and dumplings is always good, especially on rainy days. So I'd say that's pretty cool!
Just read the HONY series about brick kiln owners and bonded labourers in Pakistan.
Debted bondage is slavery.
The amount of hardships that people face is sobering. One of the series of photographs shows a man who took a loan for 5000 rupees (which is about 50 USD) for an ailing sister and was then caught in the horrible cycle of loan and debt.
The brick kiln owners charge exorbitant interest rates and people end up being trapped in these for generations. (Your debt passes to your children)
Unable to pay back his loan, this man saw his family being sold. It's not just Pakistan, but even India which might have all these terrible practices.
There is a huge divide between urban and rural life in these countries but the the point is there is just so much suffering in this world.
Even in the western world. The countless people who are homeless, living illegally or people without families...
Yes, we need to make a change and try to improve our surroundings but even as we do this we have to be so grateful for the blessings God has given us.
There's just somebody so desperate, in such worse conditions...can you imagine that there is someone out there who would do anything to be in the position you are in the world?
I don't know what each and every one of us is going through and neither can I pretend to. But I do know that learning to be grateful and thanking God for every blessing is one sure way for me to appreciate the life that God has given me.

I read this too fast and thought you said "Baking is done in heaven". And I was all "Ooooh, I hope so!".
