So, the receipes are great and all, but now I want someone to do the grocery shopping and cooking for me too! :) Thanks for sharing everyone.

Oh, and I did get your messge the other day...it has been a little nuts around here, and so I crawled into my hermit hole to cope. There might be a light at the end of the tunnel now. Let's hang out and catch up soon.
