OMG is this too cute???!!!?????

(see posting at From Japan with Love blog)

Definitely not for manly man shih tzu but still soo cute!

I have so wanted to do more with dehydrating foods.....

It started with looking at ideas for Boy Scouts, then to manage some health related problems - and of course there is all the stuff that the husband grows in his garden each year that I fail to find uses for!

I have several camping related books - because I am part of my son's Boy Scout troop - and love the idea of rehydrating foods rather than carting ice etc when we go camping.

I have always known about dehydrating foods but never really got into it. I have one of the Ronco dryers and it works ok but the grill type levels makes stuff leak or drop thru and who stores round things ????


So here we have one of the bloggers I regularly follow - Stephanie of Keeper of the Home fame - offering a fabulous give away!!

OMG I soooo lust for this prize......

So this is my instruction to you, my readers, for the weekend --

1) Read Stephanie's review of this item over at Keeper of the Home
2) Cross your fingers for me that I might win!



Ok - and enter if you feel the need to compete with me .....

LOL!

Ohh I am a follower of the W.A.Y.!!!!

Binging on Weird Al Yankovic (W.A.Y.) videos on iTunes - loading up the iMac and the iPods/Touch.


Eat It. White and Nerdy. Living with a Hernia. It's All about the Pentiums. Fat. Amish Paradise. Craiglist. Ricky. Ok - even The Saga Begins (actually my son likes this one but it is brilliant Weird Al all the same.

Man - I hate being sick

I am not sure what is the matter but this has been going on for a couple of weeks. I might have to give in and go to the doctor.

Why would I have hesitated before this? Well, when one has several chronic illnesses it is hard to get the attention one needs for treatment. It is not anyone's fault - if you have history of chronic pain or something else that DX can mask finding the cause of today's pain.

My current theory is that I either have a low dose of flu or an infection that started one place (I am currently blaming my sinuses) and has now gone systemic.

Feeling worse than crap did not stop me from going to three open houses for the high schools my son is considering attending.

The coffee concentrate is ok - I am looking forward to trying a different brand of coffee for the next batch - and maybe use a smaller amount too! Hmm - down side of going with smaller amount is what do you do with the left over coffee grinds if you don't like it?? Oh well - I will play it by ear.

Now that I have checked in I think I will curl up and whimper for a while.

Crummy week and facing busy weekend -

Updates - my son did not care for the coffee - he did not hate it but he did not like it. He has not like any of the coffee we have made at home - not sure why. The husband has not tried it yet.

I have spent most of the week in a near fetal position due to pain and fighting off a possible cold/flu. I am upright (for now) but babying myself because there are 3 high school open houses this weekend.

How do you fight colds/flus? My family and I use this product Oscillococcinum and have always found it to be extremely helpful.
