That’s too funny! I’m not eating tofu, either.<<<

That is the only cheese available in my valley stores, I tried it and no thanks, and people actually like it, not I.

I thought of making chili a couple days ago, but went with a stir fry, in the crockpot, had a broccoli that needed cooked and had been around too long to steam.

I turned it on high and browned the hamburger meat, onions and the tougher parts of the broccoli stem, sliced thin, LOL, no, not the very end that is too tough to cut. cooked it a hour or two and then started adding other stuff, I had asked for frozen mixed vegetables, and they got me a stir fry mixture.

I liked the broccoli stems, was surprised at how good they were, better than the flowerlets.[sp?]

And I froze 3 or 4 packages, including the rice, so will use them different ways, a can of stewed tomatoes and you have soup, etc.

check the hint for using Lavender Essential Oil, with babies in the post above this one, it works, as when I found the hint, I sent it to a friend, with a new cranky grandchild, she had Lavender and tried it, it works.

Stir fry! Yummy!

The chili was great! #2 son’s girlfriend ate with us. She took a couple of bites and said—Wow! That’s got some kick! LOL

The fall broccoli is about to come off here. Can’t wait!

As for the imprinted tags, haven’t had any trouble with them and I hate regular tags with a passion. Shudder. When #2 son was little, he wouldn’t wear anything with a tag in it. Came by it honest. Tags don’t seem to bother my other two kids.
