Thread Number Two
Suddenly, she said: "That's it. You're going to time out". She swooped the blankets off a bench. "Sit there. 5 minutes"
Then she sat by my side. We sat silently. Then I asked: "Is my time up"? "No!"......I asked again..."No!"
Then I saw her problem and covered my face so she wouldn't see me laughing. SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL TIME!!!
Finally, after asking her several more times, she said: "Go, just go. I don't care what you do"."
That story is soooo cute! I laughed today at work after reading it and laughed again tonight. Thanks for retelling it.
LOL re: your story about your son - so funny - and so good!
Thank you very much for the transcribing effort of the court testimony. Very helpful - and good record for later when HKS goes under oath again - we hope - for at least Daniel's inquest and, hopefully, for Anna's "suspicious" death.
Yes, in that photo her nose is thicker and her lips are much thinner than we are used to seeing on her.
that was a cute story too - thanks. :-)
Very sad....they found the body of the missing Purdue student....
How would ANS or Goat know if Daniel was depressed or anorexic? Goat refused to take calls from Daniel. And Anna was too "into" Anna to give a flip. Loser.
My girlfriend emailed me three jokes a day.
The construction workers didn't quite understand the hug therapy but they were pretty nice about it. :-)
P.S. Yeh...The construction guy thing is a bunch of bull. Damn!!
Been enjoying these cute little stories - sort of a relief from the "meat" of this saga and all the other bad news stories out there.
My little 3 year old great niece visited her great grandfather last night. He had been in the hospital last Thurs - Saturday. She told him (after he had come home - and she is VERY VERBAL for a 3 year old!!!!), "Granddaddy, I am sorry you were sick in the hospital. And I know you are glad to be home! Becca (her name) glad you are home!"
Of course, he hugged her to within an inch of her life.....it was so sweet. Out of the mouth of babes....
Okay, I have the recipes for the tidbits I mentioned. Obviously the Potatoes Dauphine recipe needs to at least be doubled:
Potato Dauphine Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine
Show: Cooking Live
Episode: Romantic Dinner
1/2 pound russet (baking) potatoes (about 1)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg
Vegetable oil for deep frying the potatoes
Coarse salt for sprinkling the croquettes if desired
Bake the potatoes in a preheated 425 degree oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are soft, halve them lengthwise, and scoop the potato out of the shells with a spoon, reserving the shells for another use. Force the scooped out potato through a ricer or a food mill fitted with the medium disk into a large bowl.
In a saucepan combine 3 tablespoons water, the butter, the salt, and the nutmeg, bring the mixture to a boil, and stir in the flour all at once. Reduce the heat to moderate and beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes, or until the paste pulls away from the side of the pan and forms a ball. Remove the pan from the heat, add the egg, beating the mixture until it is smooth and shiny.
Add the potatoes and beat the mixture until it is combined well. The potato mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. In a deep fryer or large kettle heat 2 inches of the oil until it registers 340 degrees on a deepfat thermometer. Transfer the potato mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch star tip and pipe eight 2 1/2 inch lengths, cutting them with kitchen shears or a small knife, directly into the oil. Fry the croquettes, turning them with a slotted spoon, for 3 minutes, or until they are crisp, golden, and cooked through, transfer them as they are fried to paper towels to drain, and sprinkle them with the salt. Make more croquettes in batches with the remaining potato mixture and transfer the drained croquettes to a rack set in a jellyroll pan (to prevent them from becoming soggy). The croquettes may be made 2 hours in advance, kept covered loosely with paper towels at room temperature, and reheated on the rack in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes, or until they are heated through and crisp. If not making the croquettes in advance, keep them warm in a preheated 300 degree oven.
The Chicken Satay is a good one:

This is a good recipe:
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Show: Food 911
Episode: Thai One on
Marinade:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
20 wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
Vegetable oil, for grilling
Butter lettuce leaves
Fresh cilantro leaves
Peanut sauce, recipe follows
Combine the yogurt, ginger, garlic, and curry powder in a shallow mixing bowl, stir to combine. Place the chicken strips in the yogurt marinade and gently toss until well coated. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at up to 2 hours.
Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the piece, so that it stays in place during grilling. Place a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Grill the chicken satays for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until nicely seared and cooked through. Serve the satays on a platter lined with lettuce leaves and cilantro; accompanied by a small bowl of peanut sauce on the side.
Peanut Sauce:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons red chili paste, such as sambal
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish
Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender. Puree to combine. While the motor is running, drizzle in the hot water to thin out the sauce, you may not need all of it. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and garnish with the chopped peanuts. Serve with chicken satay.
Yield: 3 cups
Of course we need a good drink to wash it all down :)

I'm sure y'all have your favorite munchies, so add them on every day!
More delays. Sometimes I think the Bahamian courts/officials are going to delay things infinitely... and who can stop them?
sw
Echos what so many others have said - Bobby Trendy (I know, I know), Ford and Gina Shelley, LB, Jackie Hatten, Virgie, Anna's first manager, who else?
So many motives.
Very strange....his parents must be in shock!
Roll Call: (TexKat was right - was in worklurk mode all day) But am here now! Checking in! Have learned so much today from the thread re: wills, meds, Anna's and KE's house, LB's stalker, and more. Thanks for all the work everyone! (and the humor....)
Stranger and stranger case....what did this judge have to do with tha Anna saga?
Thanks, I'm doing a little bit at a time.
Those recipes look wonderful--thank you!
Oh - your post answered my question about what did this judge have to do with the ANS saga - got it now. Thanks.
" KE says that Topomax is an anti-epileptic drug that's also used in diets? "
Did KE actually say that Topamax was used for weight control ??
Oops.
Appetite suppression for weight loss is NOT an approved FDA use for the drug.
It's prescribed for migraines and in some cases, epilepsy.
I would think that if ANS had migraines a/o epilepsy, it would be a neurologist or internal medicine specialist doing the prescribing.
Not a neighbor/ psychiatrist/ enabler/ possible co conspirator..
Doctors prescribing Topamaz to control migraines noticed that their patients were also losing weight.
" Topamax can have significant side effects, most notably difficulties with memory, attention and concentration.
Some doctors jokingly call the drug ''Dopeamax,'' and say it can make patients ''skinny and stupid.''
" Carla Wolper, a dietitian in the obesity research center at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York, who worked on a weight-loss study with Topamax, said cognitive problems became apparent."
( Weight loss studies were discontinued because of the significant side effects from Topamax.)
''A writer said a revision that should have taken her an hour took three hours,'' Ms. Wolper said.
''A pianist had trouble remembering pieces. A graduate student had to read the same page over and over.''
Another side effect of Topamax is ....increased body temperature.
And irregular heartbeat and metabolic acidosis ( severe cases can lead to death.)
I really hope that Dr Perper is getting the whole pharmacological picture.
