TOPP # 26!!!

Everybody!!!

Hamish.... GO AWAY!!!

Hello all,,,,Just jumping in to say hi and Bye......I'm ok just busy and I'm not sure when I'll get back to chat...but will try to stay abreast of the convos and the puzzles.
To all have celebrated more than life...I add my best wishes...Peace!

Finally back - and it's 12:30 am. So, now, I'm off to bed. Maybe tomorrow . . . ? Have a great day/evening/night, Everyone!

Heidi, I'm glad you got a diagnosis and treatment for your allergic reaction. Feel better soon.

Suzy, it's so nice to hear that Ebob has a head on her shoulders and is confident enough to give good advice.

Broni, I hope the space where your tooth used to be is feeling better and healing beautifully!

Suzy, mmmm, banana bread! Even better when still warm from the oven!

Now, I really MUST get to bed! Good Night!
Shar/Madby, I hope your little guy feels better soon.

Hi everyone - had a good visit with Mum today. DIL and Chloe came with me and Mum was delighted to have the little one around and let us go without a problem. These are the days when I enjoy my visit with her.

About my earlier post, firstly I'm sorry to post something like that and just disappear. I had barely hit submit when DIL and Chloe arrived.
I don't feel that I need counselling at this stage in my life. I'm 61 and it's not something I dwell on, although I did as a child and definately needed some then. In those day it was swept under the carpet - if you don't talk about it, it'll go away. It gave me sleep problems and fear of death problems. But I put it into perspective long ago.
It was just that writing it down and thinking about it gave me an eerie feeling and I saw the whole scene with a clarity I would never have imagined 52 years later!!
I am fine, I have a healthy mind and all is well.
But thanks for caring!

I'm back, a math student showed up with a few questions...

Thank you Rolanda and sorry MizT - life getting in the way!

Hi Cyn, glad to hear your visit went well! I bet you had to prepare Chloe just in case, and it's great it wasn't necessary.

Suzy - I think it was Chloe who did the trick. Mum was just so enthralled by her that when I said we had to get her home she let us go happily. Chloe is so gentle with her, which you wouldn't believe if you'd seen her take to Poppy with a fly swat an hour later. I took a photo, on my mobile, but it will have to wait until Col has time to download it before I can post it.

Hi Mamacita, Hi Julie! Bye Mamacite, Bye Julie!

Giggling at the idea of Chloe attacking her grandfather with a fly swatter! Ow Ow Ow! Aren't kids amazing sometimes? So astute when you least expect it.

What amazed me about her Suzy - she had only been to see Mum once before but she knew exactly where we were heading, unlocked the gates (keypad) for us etc. Smart little cookie.

It's in the genes Cyn.

Good genes in the Cyn family...

Hello all, thanks for all the concern about my gum.
Yep Cyn you have a good head on your shoulder but it is strange when we look at the past and realise how far we have developed over the years.
Still have not heard from Shar, but Linda is a definite!
Good to see Mama posting, hope your breathing is getting better and you are scooting around town in your scooter.
Yep craft has the rest.

I wish the genes in the Cyn family had not included the overweight gene, the memory loss gene or the gene!

Oh well, no-one else will do it so I must go to the K room and fling away. Ciao all.

Yep suppose I better do the same.

Same here !!

All finished here thank heavens.
Tonight was Apricot Chicken and Apple Crumble.

Chicken and Salad on the menu this evening.

Oh nice Rolanda. Still having some hot weather there I see. It is still humid here.

We had Apricot Chicken last night.
Tonight was crumbed chops, not fried this time, trying to cut out fried foods, so I did it in the oven, sorta like roasting temp.

Pink salmon patties with asparagus, boiled potatoes and garlic bread. That will have to do.

yummm Broni..

I love Salmon Patties, Broni - save some for me.
Anyone want to help Shar make 333 on Easy? Up to 307 or so.

crumbed chicken with rice and veges - oven cooked chicken

Cyn will have left overs but you may be to late, looks like lunch tomorrow.

Will you lot stop talking about delicious sounding food. I am still in bed with a bad head a stuffed up nose and feeling lousy. Don't know who is going to sort out dinner tonight for us but it will not be me.

Looks like I have missed everyone. I'm only on my netbook because my son needed some money transferred into his bank account to pay for a dental bill... he is having three fillings done today he hates the dentist

Brenda, sending healing head vibes your way. Rotten coldy thingys.

Brenda - Let 'em eat cake (tonight).
Off to bed for me too - night all

Brenda, yeah let 'em eat cake...can I come???

They can't eat cake as we don't have any in the house. We are all on diets so no cake or biscuits in the house. However I received an email this morning for what I hope is a nice chocolate cake recipe.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

I have made that Brenda and it is OK if you like chocolate cake. Hope you soon feel better.

I haven't tried this yet and having looked at the ingredients there seems an awful lot to go into a coffee mug. I would use that sort of quantities of flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a cake tin rather than a mug.

I am here because I keep coughing when I am lying down. I was asleep until hubby came to bed ad it woke me up.

My youngest daughter is trying it out now, though we don't have any choc chips

I might have to try sleeping in the recliner chair which will keep me sitting up. I would be OK if I could stop the coughing.
