I just love when she's in her 'behaving like a big girl mood' and we have a good time together.<BR/><BR/>Bree, I'll be the first to tell you that I don't have the most well-behaved kid in the world. BUT - it would be nice to at least hear the parent tell the child to stop, even if they don't.<BR/><BR/>Sleeping with Ward Cleaver, thanks for stopping by and great name! I have to be honest and tell you I haven't done embroidery in a few months - problems with my hands has prevented it - but I really want to make something soon! I also have lots of unfinished things. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>I'm impressed too that she eats cauliflower - though I don't like it raw either! I don't think she realizes she's not supposed to like it.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-12980394950894799262008-06-08T08:06:00.000-05:002008-06-08T08:06:00.000-05:00Hi Tara!

And then I saw the needlework and knew I had to get over here (I have enough unfinished projects to open a store, from needlework to quilts to dolls, you name it). <BR/>I'm very impressed that your 1st grader eats cauliflower! I've got 3 teens and I can't even get them to eat it raw!Jenny Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958016422431736544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-2620031903759230212008-06-07T08:00:00.000-05:002008-06-07T08:00:00.000-05:00Seriously, what is up with parents who let their k...Seriously, what is up with parents who let their kids run around in public places (especially libraries and restaurants)????

My family just doesn't want that for dinner. I'll have to browse the library catalog, since my branch is one of the smaller ones. I will check out the betty crocker book. thanks!<BR/><BR/>Nan, <BR/>You see, I've been cooking in the 'french' style for a long time; saute a cutlet of meat, then make a pan sauce, serve with something starchy and something green. I can put that sort of meal together quickly. It feels like the planning is taking forever for me with the veggie meals. It's probably just the sorts of meals I've been making. I cannot imagine if I were to work full time. I don't know what we would eat, certainly it wouldn't be as well as we do now. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely love and greatly appreciate your idea of sharing your recipes with me. That is exactly what I need. Thank you , thank you, thank you. You are a good friend.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear it about your peonies. It's hard to see and hear about the wonderful weather some parts of the country are having when my daughter put a fleece jacket on today to ride her bike!<BR/><BR/>Bookfool, oh she is, and a stinker, too!

I read about all the things people have to do with meat, including the whole carefulwiththe cuttingboard thing, and I think, my gosh, I have an easy cooking life. But then, we aren't too fancy. You know what, I've been putting off sending the book you won because I wanted to do something special for your upcoming birthday, and this is what I'll do - I'll include a few recipes, easy as can be vegetarian recipes, ones my kids ate happily for years and years. Thank you for giving me the idea! :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-92160266220461975452008-06-06T14:41:00.000-05:002008-06-06T14:41:00.000-05:00They have vegetarian cookbooks w/ a 'quick' theme....They have vegetarian cookbooks w/ a 'quick' theme. Maybe if your library has some, you can flip through them for ideas? You could also look for veggie cookbooks aimed at college students-they tend to keep things simple too!<BR/><BR/>An ex-boyfriend's parents got me the Betty Crocker Vegetarian Cookbook, and it has a bunch of simple recipes in it that taste yummy!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.com
