I too have no issues eating alone in restaurants, I think i'm so grateful to not have to cook. And I wish I could be more like you in being so inventive - those appies are a thing of beauty. Seriously, cook-that-I-am-not, I might even give it a whirl. xx nancyStonecropsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339562848477978976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-54539054435776008052017-09-23T08:40:17.295-05:002017-09-23T08:40:17.295-05:00Hi sweet lady, I hope this finds you feeling much ...Hi sweet lady, I hope this finds you feeling much better. The weather here has been super crazy, upper 90's windy then finally in the evening a bit cooler. I'm soaking it all up, not looking forward to the cold days of winter.

It's always wonderful to have family around. <br />I loved your appetizers. I would have never thought to use a cookie cutter on the mozzarella, but it looks great & I know I will probably steal this idea! :)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919946471260198201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-26282582883758695132017-09-20T19:04:27.339-05:002017-09-20T19:04:27.339-05:00Awww Jane.

Let's see, first of all I'm so sorry to hear about the skin condition and side effects. That really sucks. I hope the new medication will sort it all out ..loved all the family news, especially the pics of Madelyn, Elsie and Patsy..can't believe Elsie's in school already. <br />And thanks for the tips on the won tons and the cute mozzarella shapes. I've never thought of cutting the cheese before, very clever! Your recipe looks delish. <br />Take care of yourself. If I lived closer to you I'd go with you to your doctor's appt and that cool looking restaurant afterwards. But sorry, I can't stand watching anyone-self included- get shots.

I have been glued to the television concerning all these disasters, like you, and just feel miserable about it all. It's such a helpless feeling, but I like your ideas for helping out with cash whenever the opportunity presents itself. Love the family photos, dogs and all - so sweet, especially the little ones. The salsa with the home-grown tomatoes has to taste wonderful, especially in those cute little won-tons with the cheese flowers. Hope you get some better results with the medication this time around, dear friend. xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-78394001977292799092017-09-19T16:37:01.451-05:002017-09-19T16:37:01.451-05:00This post has so much in it, but first, thank you ...This post has so much in it, but first, thank you for your recommendation of A Year By the Sea, I will go to Amazon today and probably buy a copy.

How lucky can you get? Sorry about your skin problem - that does not sound fun. At least you have a good doctor that you can trust.

I like your appetizer idea of using wonton wrappers as little cups, and the fresh mozzarella on top of the salsa is a great idea. I know how much you've suffered with your eczema...I hope this new regimen of the injections plus taking the other meds twice/week help. Yes, giving yourself shots is awful. I had to do that every day in my stomach when I had a blood clot after surgery about 16 years ago. Thank goodness, I didn't have to do it too long.

It actually felt like a stressful week and I wasn't even in its path. Well it was predicted to possibly come visit here but we just got a whopper of a storm. We ended up having two parts of our families come up to shelter here in tandem. All is well with their homes and the power is back on, things are getting back to normal and our house is quiet again.podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-37727708124539136062017-09-15T08:41:51.462-05:002017-09-15T08:41:51.462-05:00Jane, what a beautiful family you have!
