Dottie, I make a pretty mean soup, I'll send some your way too! I pre-make our meals and freeze them ahead of time, but because we missed an entire week of shopping we are about down to the old rice cakes in the cupboard, Jen likes those, I'd rather have the cupboard!! Been dipping into the freezer reserves the last few days, finding all kinds of good stuff! Guess part of the weekend will be spent in the kitchen playing with the 'ol stove! I love that this time of year, get a fire going in the woodstove, a little music on the stereo, a cookin' away! Guess we could serve it to each other in our fancy duds and pretend we're in the main dining room on formal night! Hey, where's my double order of lobster! (can't have that at home and still afford a cruise, guess it's time for fish sticks)!!!!!
