Hi All:

Ah, Sandra, I remember that pool very well. Also, that pool of disinfectant that we all had to walk through before being allowed in the pool...like sheep dip :lol:

Tracie, welcome back, and you can do it.

Ok, when's Coco due back??


ummm, blackberries... we had fresh Ontario strawberries today.

If I'm up early, I'll start the new thread..but, if I sleep in, feel free to do it.

After meeting with the friend that I mentioned earlier, DH and I went out to dinner. I stayed on core eating grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and brown rice. I'm sure the chicken had some kind of fat on it for grilling, but I haven't had my oil today, so I'm pretending that it's okay.
Rhonda- your description of the sheep dip made me smile. I've never heard of such a thing as making people disinfect before swimming, showering maybe but not disinfecting!
Sandra-how do you make a crisp? I usually make cobbler, and you're right, it probably would be hard to make core.
Tracie-glad you had a great time. Isn't it nice to know that all you have to do is get back to core and you'll be okay! Do you have a recipe for calico beans or can I find it in the recipes? Also, the broccoli coleslaw mix is a great idea. I'll try it for the fourth.
Guess the rest of you chicks have had a busy weekend. Can't wait to hear from you all! TTFN
