I love you guys! You're always so full of great ideas and wonderful support. I appreciate all the responses. Stephanie, you're hilarious. I have the feeling your husband is Air Force... the AF always has such a great support system built in for both service member and family. The Navy... well...

I expect my husband to share in the household and parenting duties, and he expects the same. In our house, nobody would dare say that he's so good for "helping" me. He simply does his half of the chores, I do mine, and sometimes we cover each other when careers or kids intrude. The only...

Melissa: I watched Wifeswap but didn't have my full attention on it. Too bad! That must have been hilarious.Heather: I'm in Escondido! Just moved back to SD after being toted around the world for a while. Last time I was here, I lived in the Rolando area, so La Mesa is so my old stomping grounds.

Did anyone notice the photo in Empowering Women with the cutting board? Looks like we won't need that green non-skid anymore! Woot!

When I've ground flax, it's always been in a coffee grinder. Since flax is so susceptible to static electricity, it seems like they'd really fly everywhere, much like they do in a coffee grinder.... Thanks for all the discussion, guys! If I'm feeling adventurous, maybe I'll try a few tools...

Stacey -- yes! I've done that with food coloring in the white for Halloween. Worked well, though I'm more partial to dark chocolate. Either way, it was a success with the guests at the shows during that time frame, as well as with family.

They're fine either way. I've kept some in the freezer for 2 months, and they tasted as good as ever. Even my MIL tried some after that long, and she was hooked. She'll compliment anything you make, so the real test is how much she'll eat... and I had to put a big "DO NOT EAT" on the supply I'd...

I have a customer asking how to use the food chopper to basically grind flax. I doubt this can be done with anything in the PC arsenal, but I thought if anyone had ideas, it would be some of the culinary geniuses around here. My only thought re: the FC is to oil them up first, but they just seem...

They also freeze well!

My mom's a realtor, and she recommended I call up or write a letter offering to provide lunch during their business meeting. Her offices have always done this -- and it's always vendors trying to sell something or offering a service. So you're not the only one calling there. When I start...

Beth, you can also do this as a wreath, which is how I learned it. Just make sure you cover as much filling as you can. It increases the potential for a mess if it leaks out too much, but it looks fancy and is still easy.

Wikipedia: King Cake The easiest way to make this is with crescent roll dough and a cream cheese-based filling. http://www.recipezaar.com/151532 I've used lemon curd with great results. The hidden baby gives you the chance to give away a free party, shipping, discount, or whatever else you...

Definitely do a King Cake! When my mom was a consultant in New Orleans, Mardi Gras PC parties were all the rage, and the King Cake was the center of attention.
