I think you have to get to the 2nd third of the book (Amy's story) to understand why it is getting the 'rave' reviews. The book goes in some directions you don't think its going to go.

Also, I...

It depends on what they mean as 'food budget'. If it is strictly the groceries they are buying...that number is realistic. If that includes all the meals they eat out...then it isn't. I routinely eat...

In my experience, not all doctors like prescribing contact lenses. I have been wearing extended wear contacts for close to 30 years and every time I switch doctors (insurance changes, moves, etc) I...

I also read Defending Jacob and would be happy to answer a question if I can. I also read it a few months (and many books) ago

Kay - most of us liked The Healing but it didn't make for that great of a discussion. Probably since most of them hadn't finished the book yet. I will say at times I find my book group very...

Our book club is trying something new this year. Each member gets one month to pick the book. Prior to this we tried to pick by consensus which meant that not all types/genres/personalities got heard.

Kay - I think you will like both The Healing and The Promise of Stardust.

I went to the library and checked out 3 more from my 'want to read' list. Hopefully they will be comment worthy

I just finished another great book: The Healing by Jonathan Odell.
The story was not the story I was expecting based on the blurb on the book but I highly recommend it.

This synopsis is much more...

I haven't posted in forever on these threads...but since I lurk I figured I should post some of the 4 and 5 star books I've read this year. (My goal this year is to read from my 'want to read' list...

Check out this article. Looks like all of CA is missing their bees this year.

The whole irony is that those that are posting on this thread are lamenting the fact that the boards aren't as active as they would like them to be. I don't think anyone is intentionally trying to...

It was about a bunch or head of broccoli

These have been posted before and they are very good. Pretty too with the green pistachios and the red cranberries

I made both the broccoli and the red pepper dip. Both were very good. Thanks for the recommendations :)

My platter came out perfect...I'll try and post a picture later.

Hope everybody enjoyed...

I promise you...when this thread dies it natural death, I will stop posting for a long time....

Charley - earlier in this thread, I mentioned that your posts are rubbing me (and others) the wrong...

An empty home is pretty easy to keep clean...it only gathers dust, cobwebs and dead insects

For all of you who were afraid that you were the ones that drive me nuts or that I believe you are rude. It wasn't you. It is those that can't see their rudeness even when it is pointed out to them....

You are both missing the point and the bigger picture. Most people lurk for a while before getting the nerve up to post and join in. If you are keep picking on people, no one will want to join in....

Not meaning to start a flame war, but if you REALLY want people to join this board and to stay here, you ALL need to stop the petty bickering and nasty comments. The responses yesterday to the...

I enjoy sleep so much more now then when I was a teenager. Maybe because I don't get enough of it.

And if I remember correctly, you did it with multiple awakenings in the middle of the night. You would lay down in bed and the next thing you saw was morning :)

Houston must have really changed in the last 35 years. My mother tells the story of our neighbor who we introduced to "Jewish Soul Food". They got transferred to Houston in the late 1970's and she...

Maybe a three-bean salad or a chickpea salad?

Trail mix, homemade granola, granola bars?

It may not have just been the sodium. I seldom eat white rice...but it puts a pound on me overnight. You are on the right track to see what foods affect your weight though.

Denise - the goal some...

Both the broccoli and the red pepper dip look great.

Your cheese platter is very cute...but I have been asked to bring veggies and dip. I will file it away for another year :)

If you have time and want to post the dip recipe, I'm open to it. I have a block of cream cheese that I should use up before it goes bad

Yes, the dip will go in one of the pumpkins (or into a bell pepper if I can't find small pumpkins

Canice - I'm not sure I can pull it off...but its worth a try. If I fail, I will still have the...

I am going to a potluck and was asked to bring veggies and dip as an appetizer. I'm going to attempt to make the platter look something like this TurkeyVeggiePlatter and am looking for a good dip to...

Iris is too cute for words! Thanks for the update
