Thank you, thank you for the wonderful recipes both posted and emailed. You all are a great bunch of cooks! I’d love to report that I have tried a few of the beauties below, but alas, I have not. As I told Kevin today, “For some reason I was feeling very BC last week (Betty Crocker) - it was extremely fleeting though.” Yeah. As if you didn’t already know - I’m a bit of a flake.
I got a brand new washer yesterday to replace the old brand new one that broke after only 2 weeks. I was without a washer for 7 days. Guess what I did today? We’ll see how long this one lasts. (see title)
We recieved a contract on the-house-that-shall-not-be-sold today. (see title) After a bit of haggling, we’re going to let it go for less than it’s worth. Hell, it’s only been on the market a freaking year. It’s not a done deal so no celebrating yet, Mom. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve just jinxed the whole thing by even writing about it. So I’m tempting the universe here. You’ll see why in a minute.
I usually keep a vague account of my monthly happenings. This is not for birth control reasons because we’ve been fixed in Petroville. I do this as a public service. The information is used as a warning system in and around the house. You understand. Well, lately I’ve not kept good records but I’m pretty sure that I’m late. Like over a week late. The whole 28 day month in front of this one probably screwed me up or maybe it was the early daylight savings time. Whatever the culprit, I’m sure it’s not sperm…but just in case, I’m writing it here in hopes to temp the jinx. (see title)
Did you try any of the recipes? Do you keep track of your cycle?
Are you knocking for me????????????
If you didn’t leave any “feminine products” in the cookies you are about to bake, I’ll take a dozen.
We are knocking FOR a baby, right?
knock, knock, kncok, knock, knock, knock…..
I’m knocking…
LBC
I believe in miracles!!
I’m not even going to add to the house jinx by asking any questions. When I return from my trip of all trips I hope to hear two pieces of VERY good news.
LOVE YA (Be careful who you casually say this too….) :shocked:
It’s that screwed up short month.
Also the moon is messed up by the short month and most of us cycle with the moon (kidding.)
I HAVE to keep track so I can see when it ever STOPS. I make little stars on the days I do NOT have it, and also to show my doctor and shock her into giving me pain pills. Heh.
I do keep track but am pre menopausal. The dr. gave me meds today. She says I need them real bad. My body has stopped producing progesterone (sp) and it’s making everything else freak out. But relief is on the way. Whoo hooo!
Love new recipes! Have many cook books and a binder full of recipes from Martha’s site, Rachel’s site and the food network too. Woot!
I’m a knocking!
Damn, girl. That would be some news. Me, I don’t need to keep track of those things anymore. BECAUSE I’M OLD.
Brace yourself….but I actually keep track….not just to know when it’s coming, but to know what’s going on in my body. Not that I’m against BC, but I use a method of NFP (natural family planning). Trust me I used BC back in the day. I just find it so interesting to know when ovulation is occurring and if there are any problems in my cycle. I get A LOT of wierd crazy looks. To each is their own.
I bet your issue is the short month.
I need to go back and look over the other recipes. I forgot to do that! BUT we DID make Chicken Divan last night…actually, 13 yr old made it, I just ate it. I love having my kids old enough to cook an entire meal without me. YAY ME!
As for lateness, have you always been like clockwork? See, I’ve always been irregular, and missing one (or 8) doesn’t mean much. In fact, it’s a shocker when I *have* one!
Here’s to everything going as planned, for once!
knocking…knocking!!
PS..thanks for the recipes! I forgot to comment about that!
I keep a rough estimate. There are no mistaking the warning signs ( my husband ducks when I raise my hand to wave at my neighbors
)
but I just knocked wood for you.
was procrastinating about the recipe thing…had to laugh to see you were over it.
