Whoops - apologies to your wife! Sounds simple enough and I know the wooden toothpick trick. THANKS!

It's all good... I put away dishes so she's not a little mad anymore.

Carbs = carbohydrates? What's wrong with em?

Nothing inherently wrong with a carbohydrate unless you are health and/or weight challenged. DH is a severe diabetic and has to control his carb intake to keep his blood sugar under control.

AND - I'm going to attempt to grow some....Instructions seem simple enough: Bury one fruit. That's it pretty much....bury the fruit and the caution that only ONE plant is needed per family.

Don't know about you all but this is pretty much the way things roll around here

We had the Sausage and Pepper soup that I posted earlier for dinner tonight. I gotta say it's a winner. Of course I changed a few things - not all on purpose... Forgot to use the chili powder....used fresh garlic and onion instead of the powders and dropped in a couple tablespoons of cream cheese at the end. We think it's good and it will go into the list of "make it again" foods!

Recipe Notes
To cut back on fat, you can use one can coconut milk and one can coconut cream. The cream does give a better flavor so I don't recommend using all coconut milk.

There are other good recipes on this site. I don't like Stevia, I thought the drops might be better, but I don't like them either. I think I will just make this with a little sugar. We love these coconut jelly squares.

I found mashed cauliflower at the grocery store marked down to $0.59 per 5 serving tray. I added cream, butter, salt, and..... I LIKE IT! I'm shocked! and delighted! I'm going to go back tomorrow and buy the rest!

Been outside all morning. Spent some time in the garden. About to take out the mostly spent broccoli plants and put tomatoes in their place. I picked all the remaining side shoots and a handful of cilantro that's bolting, threw them in a frying pan with lots of fresh garlic, stirred em around for a bit and called it lunch!
