Hello All!
Holy cow I have been gone far too long. Been trying to keep up on the boards.
Lorraine and Gil Congratulations!! I hope you post some pictures soon.
Laura I do hope your father is doing better!! What an awful thing to go thru
PJ - That dress OMG it's fantastic! now that is a talent I so wish I had.
Chef-Tab - my father is the head of the Scottish Society here. He and my mom travel all over and always wear their regalia
Billy about black pepper. We were taught in school to never season with pepper IF you were going to put the meat down to sear. Like a chicken breast when you want to sear the skin. I put my pepper on my steaks when grilling after I turn them. So I get my sear marks, turn and season the side I just seared. Hope that makes sense.
As for me, well I've been very busy getting ready to move Laura to San Fran in 22 days. We've been making check lists, getting stuff she's going to need. Making doctor appointment to get caught up on checkups. visting family and friends and getting the car ready to go. Only to discover that there is no way her stuff is going to fit. So borrowing my folks car for this journey.
That and my cousin in Texas lost her father 3 weeks ago and 10 days after he passed away she lost her sister. It was a flash back for me 6 years ago when hubby lost his mom on Halloween and then on Christmas Eve lost his sister. It's such a blow to heart.
Work has been intense. Being the main network admin I've had the wonderful task of tracking an employee who's been doing..well let's just say unsavory things. That was mental stress up the yang. Needless to say she is finally terminated and things are getting back to normal.
I hope everyone is doing well! I have sure missed you all. Going thru board withdrawls is tough hehe
