You must be neater than me. I’m sure I’d find a way to make a mess.

I like the room of mixing at the dining room table, but one recipe at a time can be done on the over bed table... I just get out exactly what I need for the 1 recipe and mix that, and then put those away and get out what's needed for the second.

I trained the cat a long time ago to stay off the tables when I'm cooking or mixing - although if I'm not working on something she's decided all bets are off and the tables are fair game. So I just clean the tables prior to actually using them... lol

I just thought I would drop by to say hello to my friends on this thread. It has been a long, long time since I checked in here. After losing two adult children in an 8 month period, I was lost. My son died suddenly on March 21st, my birthday. Gardening had saved my sanity so my husband gives me free rein to buy plants and even helps me with my neurotic homemade potting soil projects. I will never be whole again, but I do have purpose and reasons to get out of bed every day. My four fabulous grandchildren make sure of that.

I hope you all are well.

I've gotten the dishes done, breakfast made and eaten, chicken salad made if I want a sandwich for dinner or for lunch tomorrow, dishes done again, got the fridge half cleaned out in advance of grocery shopping day tomorrow, and I'm starting on some hardboiled eggs for some tuna salad mix for DH now since he doesn't eat chicken (he's a philistine.. lol)

Then I think I'll be done for the day, DH (yes, he's the designated hitter in this house.. haha) can finish anything I don't at this point.

Yea! Nearly done feels great, although my back is on fire... lol

    Smart kitty :lol: I don’t mix in bed but I do in my bedroom. Close enough ? LOL.

    I missed you but so sorry to hear the reason why :( Happy to hear of the grandchildren. I’m sure they’re a big help to you.

    My heartfelt sympathies to you. It is the most difficult thing for a mother to deal with. Take care.

    I case you all were wondering I'm richer now...by one bluetooth speaker! I went into the dealership and showed them my winning flyer. They took all my info and tried to sell me a car. They then said they would need to see if my winning number matched the one on their chart. It didn't, so I didn't win the $2500. My consolation prize was a scratch off chance at 25,000 dollars and a bluetooth speaker. The guy actually let me try twice for the 25k. It was a 6x6 grid and you had to find 6 of the lucky 7's without uncovering any other symbol. I blew it on the first square each time. So all I got out of it was the bluetooth speaker, and a cheap one at that. Oh well, you can't lose what you never had.

    I’d say that is what everyone said.

    I lost my 38 year old daughter in 2003, I know your pain.

    I have a question. What is everyone’s favorite chocolate?
    I am still working on finding the best chocs but I like choc chunks and glamour. I will be doing an sft on dessert choc and a couple others as soon as I catch up on the outside work.
