It's a small comfort to know I'm not the only one. I got a phone call the other day from the bank asking to speak to DH. He was at work and they refused to speak with me but they did tell me they were calling about a declined charge in Atlanta. OK... never been there and I was certain DH...

Jenna - have you checked out the banana bread thread in Recipe Tips?

I make quick bread muffins. Use your favorite recipe for banana bread, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, whatever, and pour it into the MMP instead of a loaf pan. Adjust the time for cooking to about 1/4. While quick breads usually cook in about an hour, mini muffins take only around 15 minutes...

cripes! I'm *IN* Chicago and don't have mine yet.

My kids did not get an allowance until they were in school. It's not like they needed spending money or anything. Once they were in school, it was $1 per grade level. Jodi: the word tithe is from the Old English word for 'tenth'. So if tithing is 10%, you're quinting (not tithing). ;-)...

I made this again at my show yesterday with some modifications. We used ground beef instead of chicken and we added layers of black beans and corn instead of the onion. I used an 18oz can of enchilada sauce and the host made a few alterations of her own. She bought flour tortillas instead of...

My daughter has always been organizationally challenged, but a tendency to forget things seems to run in the family so she comes by it honestly. She's a very bright girl and well above her grade level in all subjects except literacy skills - because she can't concentrate long enough to write a...

No, the check needs to be made out to an organization - it just gets mailed to the chairperson so they can deliver it. I'm entering the orders from the fundraiser, which is awesome so far - over $1K and more orders still coming in - but when I entered the chairperson's order I was a bit...

Yes, there are still services that delivery cloth diapers weekly. Check in your yellow pages under "Diaper Services."

Unless you're doing laundry multiple times a day, I don't think twenty will be enough! My son went through at least that many in a day but we also used them for burp rags and changing pad liners. Inevitably, as soon as you'd change his wet diaper, he'd poop in the clean one. I'm so thankful...

I love this! I can't wait to add this to my list of theme shows. I'll be selling it tonight at my show!

Before he left for California, the president spoke to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. He voiced confidence in Geithner, took responsibility for the AIG bonus fiasco and said that public anger was justified. "I don't want to quell anger." Obama said. "I think people are right...

The first time the kids saw Chihuahua cheese, DH told them it was made from Chihuahua milk.Normally, they believe anything he says but they looked at me for verification and I shook my head , 'No.'

I think you mean you COULDN'T care less... I find it amusing that we hold our politicians to such high standards when really they're just people like us. Sure, they're more powerful but they're still just people, not superheros.

I can't find Chihuahua cheese in our regular grocery store but it's always in stock at the corner Mexican carniceria and fruteria - and they have it in chunks and pre-shredded. We LOVE chihuahua cheese! A good substitute is Monterey Jack if you don't have your own Mexican corner store.
