[JJ]

Congrats on your bundle of joy, purelife!

[P.C.]

Me too purelife.  I'm so so happy for you. [img border=0 src="vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif"]

[Lil Me]

Update on baby please, purelife!  (when you get a moment)

  Rough week here.

Dealing with some personal issues.

Jeckyl had 2 teeth removed.

Finished 3rd quarter for my own company.

*Almost* finished 3rd quarter for my job.

  But...I'm heading outdoors all day for a bottle drive, so that will be a welcome break from the madness.

[Sportsdude]

Same Lil Me. I survived the week of hell somehow.

I did my monthly drive to Ferndale and then on to Seattle for 'finding clothes so I do not freeze to death' routine. So far I've been extremely lucky on these drives with the weather.

I'm glad Eddie Bauer found a buyer in bankruptcy or nothing would ever fit me.

Now with the clothes out of the way I can go to 'Seattle' on my monthly trips to Walgreens.


For shits and giggles I went to a Boston Pizza or "Boston Gourmet Pizza's" in Bellingham, the menu is cheaper but it still tastes the same.

Keeping tabs on the border... The American border guard conversation lasted 30sec this week while the Canadian guard from Newfoundland hadn't heard of my medication. Good times.

 

[Sportsdude]

Just baked some squash! Looks sweet!

Impressed with myself.

Thanks guys for all your congrats!  Hi Isis.  Did you know that tenkani named his dog after you?  (for real)  

We're going through some tough times right now.  Exactly a week after baby was born, an immediate family member on MrPL's side died.     He is devastated and we're just taking it day by day right now.

Baby is doing great.  He has regained his birth weight.  He's feeding well and sleeping ok too.  I try to get some sleep but can be hard when I like to get things done and have other things on my mind.  Him and I go for walks almost everyday.  I'm already down to my pre-pregnancy weight.  Yay for that!
 

[Isis]

Oh wow...how horrible to loose someone close to you and Mr.PL.  My deepest condolences to you both and your family.

  I'm gald to hear that you and the baby are doing well and that you have *chokes* lost weight and the baby has re-gained weight.  I should say the following in order....

1. Congrats on getting married

2. Congrats on having a baby

3. Shame on me for neglecting DS...and my wonderful friends

  Can you ever forgive me?  

  Nice to hear that you are out and about on daily walks...good way to keep/get in shape after having a kid.

  I almost choked for real when you said tenkani named his dog after me...lol...oh I miss that guy! *cries* I haven't had a good *SPROOOOOING* in a long time!

Is he ever on these days?

[Orik]

Hello Isis tenkani has not been seen by me in forever and a bit and welcome back Isis...

Mrs. PL congrats on gaining your pre-pregnancy weight back.. and you did it do so fast to.. please do not starve yourself... a little bit of mommy fat is ok... I am happy to hear baby PL is gaining weight. Deepest condolocences to Mr PL and to you on losing a family member hugs to you both...

Blessings be in all things today tomorrow and always

[P.C.]

Good job Miss purelife !  That was super quick in getting your pre-shape back !!!!

Glad to hear baby purelife is doing well.

Sympathies to Mr. purelife....it's never easy.
 

[Isis]

Is it wrong to have an itch to troll?

[Gopher]

No. Just depends what you do with it.

[Isis]

Hmmm, I would consider it destructive trolling....so maybe I should put some cream on that itch for now.  

[P.C.]

Let er rip.  

[Orik]

sorry Isis, that's not a itch to troll you are feeling. What you are actually feeling is a fungus and it needs a proper ointment applied to kill it, your Slow cream ! will not cut, the mustard this time.. don't mind that smell it is just a bad egg . For some reason I am hungry

 lets see what do u need
 
 2 kinds of fungus
snails
mouseturd
cream
butter
garlic
eggs
cheese
grapefruit
and
french bread

lets start with fungus and snails

1 package of Shiitake Mushrooms ( approximately 4 ounces worth
 6 cups lightly-packed trimmed spinach leaves in bite-sized pieces
 1 cup chopped tomatoes
 1/4 cup grapefruit juice
 1/4 cup vegetable oil
 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper[/p]  Trim stem ends of Shiitake Mushrooms; cut mushrooms into thin slices, through the caps and stems. In a large serving bowl place mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes; set aside. In a small bowl whisk together grapefruit juice, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Just before serving pour over vegetables, tossing gently.[/p]
[/p]snails escargot french bread sour cream

6-12 tablespoons sour cream
10-12 mushrooms, white, fat, finely chopped
2 small onions, finely chopped
14 ounces escargot (canned, undrained, 400g)
4 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
4 tablespoons chervil, finely chopped (optional)
4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
4 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped (or to taste, but use a lot)
2 tablespoon butter
hefty pinch of coarse sea salt
2 - 4 teaspoon's of coarse black pepper

Directions

Put the sour cream, finely chopped mushrooms and finely chopped small onion in a pot. Heat on high until it starts bubbling making sure to stir well and often. Now that it has started to bubble nicely, turn the heat down and let it simmer (remember to keep stirring) for about 10 minutes,

Now your onion is soft, the mushrooms are cooked, and the cream sauce is reduced. it is time for the next parts to be added, open the can of escargots those are snails in case you didn't know.  rinse the snails in a sieve, give them a shake to dry them a bit, Now add the snails, herbs, garlic, butter, salt and pepper to the pot.

Stir thoroughly and simmer for about 2 - 4 minutes more until the escargot / snails are heated through.

serve in small bowls with a nice hot crusty French bread
