Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 My husband's birthday was the fourth of July; he told me that until he was about ten he had always thought that the whole celebration was about his birthday. If clouds or fog came over the bay here and he did not get to see seven displays at once from our house in the Berkeley Hills, we practically had to resuscitate him! Here's hoping that this will be another victorious great one for ! Love, n Rojas Re: Beth (was Not CF, but positive thoughts needed) Hi Beth, Glad you liked the pancakes and found a way for it to work for you. Yes, I add flax seed to chocolate chip cookies; actually, I put a couple tablespoons in all cookie dough, even my homemade biscotti, which makes them nicely tender. It works great in No-Bake Cookies too (which tastes just like fudge mixed with oats). Funny thing... a year ago I was on a No-Bake cookie binge, making a couple batches each month. A full recipe has a stick of butter! After a couple months pigging out on these cookies, I went for a pre-employment physical. I thought for sure my cholesterol would be sky-high after eating pound of butter every month. But my total cholesterol was about 174, the LDL (good cholesterol) was out of range -- on the high side of good! And the HDL (bad cholesterol) was in range, but on the low end! So I guess despite all the butter and ice cream I was eating, I offset it because the only other fats I got were healthy fats from olive oil, flax seeds, salmon and tuna. Everything else I eat is pretty much a fruit or vegetable... except when I pig out on ice cream or homemade biscotti and No-Bake cookies. I'm looking forward to Arizona! I've always loved baseball (a huge Cubs fan!). It really takes me back to the days when my son played -- every summer from kindergarten through 7th grade. He was so good, and took it so seriously! Whatever he sets his mind to, he's such a perfectionist about it. We have tickets to two spring training games (Cubs vs Colorado on March 11 and Cubs vs San Diego on March 14), and I'm just so excited! I've never played golf but the house I'm moving into opens up onto the 17th hole of a golf course. D said he'll teach me how to play but I think it's a guy-thing excuse just to get close. I reminded him how bad I was when he tried to teach me how to dance the two-step (if he wouldn't have counted out loud I might have done okay, but all that 1-2, 1-2-1 stuff confused me when it really should be 1-2-, 1-2-3! Hah! I told him the chances of me having the patience to whack at a teeny ball hoping to aim it toward a distant hole is slim to none, but I'll happily tag along for the exercise since I love to walk! I said I'd even play caddy to him because it's all the more outdoor exercise. I reminded him I was used to hefting 50-lb. sacks of feed on the farm so I've got the arm muscles to hoist a golf bag. Oh, and turns 25 on July 4. He's my fire cracker baby, complete with red hair and green eyes. Kim > Thank you. > Congratulations! I hope you enjoy Arizona.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi n! Me too! My birthday is also July 4th and my parents told me all the celebrations were just for me. I can't remember when I found out it is actually a national holiday. Probably around the same time I found out who the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Santa are. love, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
