janice,
Thank you for stopping by and yes having the kiddos in tow does make a huge difference at the grocery. Everyone will be home for Christmas Holiday this year so I am saving my rewards points at the grocers for there snack needs – Last year that was $60 worth!

For three years I had nothing but a MW for cooking…it was a good lesson in how to save energy and nutrients in food….I should write a post about MW cooking and how it keeps the nutrients in the food. Steam all your veggies in the MW for better health …It is truly an amazing appliance.

Thanks for the link love! I just came back from shopping and it makes me laugh to see how different it is when the kids are with me…helping. (They’re on holiday for two weeks.)We certainly won’t be short of carbs and snacks!

I’m toying with the idea of getting rid of our microwave. The kids will be leaving home in a few years, and I’d like to think they could cook without one. All I tend to use it for is reheating dead coffees, which is gross, and melting chocolate and butter. Oh, and cooking our traditional Christmas pudding, which used to need steaming for an hour.

Barbara,
Thank you for coming back and making a comment. After I have one of these energy treatments, I can not write a comment or anything for several hours – I am incoherent. Then I come back with so much energy, I am writing on blogs half the night…!!!

I work with apples – right now everyday….the Fuji tree left to go…the smells and lovely tastes are wonderful…the earwigs, apple maggot, and coddling moths make so much more work. Then there is the naughty baby deer who can go under the deer fencing and I think has adopted us….he eats bites out of the pumpkins too!

Thank you for returning

Hi Patricia,

I read your list the other day, but on my list at that time (around 2am) was sleep, so I didn’t comment. And trust me, you don’t want me commenting when I’m tired. I would have probably said, “Great list.”.

My list is never ending, and now that I’m taking on more with another blogging endeavor, “time” is at the top of my list.

Whenever I read in your posts where you’re working with apples, it brings back wonderful memories of my grandmother who used to make home made applesauce. I can still see her in her kitchen and recall the marvelous smells, as well.

P.S. Thank you for the link love.

Davina -
I only eat 2 squares of non-milk chocolate per week – otherwise a headache….
I have not been a chocolate fan most of my life…or peanut butter!

Hi Patricia. I’d certainly love to have someone else to do the shopping. I always buy more than I can carry. I see chocolate is on your list… and why isn’t it number 1?

Talon,
I just have to make a list….I get distracted by all the things I have to do otherwise….it makes it more like 1 thing at a time.

Can’t wait to see your pictures today!

I love your grocery list. You’ve got some fabulous items on it! I’m not a list person myself though I have a friend who is obsessive about lists and says her greatest pleasure is striking things off the list as she accomplishes them.

Very clever – your list within a list!

I have been dashing about reading and writing, because I am putting the orchard and garden to bed ….my partner was biking for the last 3 weeks on his vacation….just getting the post up has been quite a challenge….so I have been doing lots of reading but not so much commenting on blogs….I am juicing apples today – part of the Solar Home Tour and then I hope to return to my regular schedule of reading and writing

Jeanne,
You got a great deal accomplished on a week when you were feeling not your best. Hope you did not push yourself too hard and the Peace talks were peaceful.

I too signed up to write for Blog Day. I emailed my Congress folks too and was so proud of Maria Cantwell my Senator this week…awe inspiring speech about health care.

I also worked on helping a friend how is moving from New England to our state to a co-housing project and family, who was bankrupted by Breast Cancer and now may not be able to move because she is on Medicaid and there are no Drs. available for Medicaid patients here in the state….The returning soldiers are overwhelming our systems…

Scary stuff…I don’t think she will be able to move if she wants health care…
