twas a minor irritant. was able to mostly ignore it and move right along.

there's a celtic festival just down the road from us and they serve haggis. it's not authentic haggis, but a facsimile. the kobe hot dog sounds divine. would love that. and the calamari. THAT sounds like food truck heaven. lucky you.

thanks so much sheila. i'll have to check it out. it sounds familiar.

thanks! you're welcome. try to do what i can!

i seek the moments grace. multitasking is the bane of my existence. am trying to cull that from my life and be more mindful. someday i'll get it down. you & me both, maybe?

thanks Joseph, Elsa will be four next month and loves helping in the kitchen, especially with baking. right now she can't decide whether to be a doctor or firefighter, but who knows, she'll change her mind a million times between now and 30-something. Healthy pizza it is. we use gluten-free, low fat cheese and the type of flour varies depending on what's on hand. nor do we overload with toppings. tis usually a simple cheese pizza, the best in my estimation, but it's always easy to hide veggies underneath the cheese, too.

Hi Amma, Oh no! sorry to turn you off the book. I hope you'll give it a chance. I admired her determination because I'm a quitter plain and simple: When it hurts I don't run through pain. I did a Zumba class a few months ago, nevermind how kinesthetically challenged I am, I somehow forgot about my plantar fasciitis and regretted the pounding my heel took.

you did now, Susan! Thanks for letting me know. I need to try more and will do so now that we won't have the reliability of the farmer's market to fall back on.
