When my first grandbabies came along I was ecstatic, nothing like it :)
I worked 50+ hrs/wk then, took vacation time with them etc. You’d think it might get old but it doesn’t. Just work at home now, partly disabled, every grandkid is just as special and now I have more time to love them in person :)
Just for clarity, 6 of those kids are adopted. Four of those were already old enough to be in school but all are just as precious.
We’ve drifted about as far away from our state Constitution as we have from the Federal one.
I believe the nick came from the Fundamental Orders which provided the framework for the first formal Connecticut gov’t.

Great cast, great author and yet, I've never heard of it. :-(
Have you seen it?
She's a complete IDIOT and I bet that she can't cook worth a damn.
You know about THE VERMONT COUNTRY STORE, don’t you ? :-)
Yes, we do! :-)
Go to it every month, the one in Rockingham.
We go *grazing* ...better than Whole Foods grazing on a Tuesday. >:P
I never even heard of it, until this century and I now live on the East Coast, in the tri-state area!
The moron lives in QUEENS...in QUEENS! Not even in hippster Brooklyn, nor in foodie heaven Manhattan! She's a poser and an imbecile.
Obviously, I read those reviews and they are NOT for real. ;^)
True. :-)
Yup.
Back when it first came out on VHS.
When I was almost 8, my parents went to New Hampshire, on vacation. They brought me a big box of maple candy and yes, they are hard, shaped into different things ( flowers, animals, birds, etc. ) and far too damned sweet; sweeter than sucking on or chewing a sugar cube. I hated them and only sort of ate one of ‘em. YUCK!
I like some, what I'd call "spicey" food.
I don't like a lot of BLAND things, like chicken a la king, creamed spinach, nor SOS.
She forgot the 2 favorite food groups of America — ketchup and butter. They go on everything!
When it comes to food and things connected to food, I know far more than the idiot author of this ridiculous, stupid book! I should do; it is something I have been interested in all of my life.
How are the cookery classes going?
We are now on hiatus until I take up my classes this fall. I’ve taken off spring because it was exhausting. I’m not a spring chicken anymore, lol! But not ready to be pan-roasted, either.
She wrote cookbooks?
Okay, I just learned something. :-)
If not THE stupidest cookery book, one of them.
If you want great Indian food outside of India - go to London! I live in an area that has the largest Indian contingent in America and the food is not even as good as the famous 6th Street in NYC. And yet, in London, you can get delicate Indian food with floral notes from rose water that will make you wish you lived in Calcutta. I think the cheapest people from India moved here bringing their cheapskate food. I imagine the most creative folks left India for Great Britain 50 years ago and England is the better for it.
A friend of mine, currently on B’way, wrote a show about Pearlie May. As an opening night gift, I gave her several of Bailey’s cookbooks. They’re not at all bad - she grew up in the northeast but brought her family’s southern traditions to her cooking. No housekeeper for her! She cooked for her husband and adopted kiddies every night. But she was loyal to Accent and it’s pretty much included in every recipe, lol.
So impressed with her cooking was I, I picked up a bottle of Accent and was amused to see it was basically MSG!
