** My SON Sunday Roll Call **
I will get my boy back today!!!!!! ( I am sure I am way more excited than he is!)
So - yesterday was amazing!!!! I was so glad to have been able to get to Liz's! Thank you sooo sooo sooo much Beth for schlepping us and taking an minor extended trip into Easton yesterday! It did make the drive that much better! :) And Thanks again to Liz - what a great day of support, food and yummy baby watching! And - Thanks to the rest of you for allowing me to indulge with my new body parts!
I actually slept relatively decently last night. Fell asleep about 11:15 ish and woke up about 5. Not bad! I guess the not napping during the day helps! Good to know! :)
I am about to jump in the shower and lather myself with that fabulous Ginger cream for my scars and then will be heading out to the Pocono's to get Joshua. (and to show off a little.) We are not only picking up Josh, but my girlfriend's son who is from North Carolina. We are headed to a friends house this afternoon to hang out there for a while until it is time for my other friends to take him to the airport. Another day of getting out of the house and my first time driving in three weeks. I am only driving as far as the Plymouth Meeting exit of the turnpike - I am meeting Larry to do the rest of the trip.
What is your Sunday going to look like?

Good morning everyone!
Steffi, great name for the roll call today, it is all about my son today too. After going to Unity for services this morning, I am making him his "last supper" before college, his favorite turkey dinner. We also have to get to the store for a couple last minute items. Wednesday is the day he leaves!
It was SO GREAT seeing everyone yesterday, I am so lucky to live so close to Liz!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good rainy morning all,
A good day to crawl back into bed but.... anyway, had a headache all day yesterday so did not get much done. So today, I don't know either lol.
Tomorrow, I am having someone pick me up and take me to a dr. appointment in Baltimore and then bring me back. Long day it will be.

Good morning Steffi and PA,
Stef, have a safe trip today. I'm sure your son will be excited to see you.
Since I did pretty much nothing yesterday but meet a whole bunch of very nice people, I am doing laundry today and helping my husband clean out his personal items from the big truck he used to drive for his now, old boss. He starts his new job on 9/7.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good Morning Steffi and PA!
Glad that you got some sleep! It was my pleasure to take you guys to Liz's. It was nice to talk with you and Dee had Emily and Molly to keep her entertained!
Today we are going to see my dad because tomorrow is his 82nd birthday! This past year has been very tough and I honestly wasn't sure if he was going to make it to this day. I am a bit pissed because my brother can't carve out an hour from his busy schedule to come meet us. BTW, he lives like 2 minutes from the home and I live about 40 minutes....just sayin!!! WHATEVER! Then he has the nerve to make me feel guilty because I didn't spend every waking moment with my dad when he was in the hospital! I will make the time for my dad and I had Dee make a birthday card for him!
After that, I need to go to the supermarket to pick up a few things. Then I am going to try my SF brownies AGAIN using maltitol that Liz gave me (THANKS LIZ!!).
The rest of the day will be chillin with my girl...
Have a great Sunday everyone!!

Good Morning Steffi & PA:
Steffi have a safe trip!
Last night I actually slept till 04:14am. Yeah.... Took a pain pill then back to bed. Slept again till Gene got out of bed at 07:45. First night I was actually comfy!!!!!!!
Today has us going to church, after church going to see Gene's mom, then Whole Foods for some stuff for the week mostly Greek Yogurt for me and unsweetened Almond milk. Today I'm going to make some Junket, Gene has never had it so I figured it's time to introduce him to an old childhood treat my mom used to make.
I have to stop taking the percocet today since I'm returning to work tomorrow. I'm still not able to eat anything with substance - excrutiating pain in my mouth when I tried yesterday. Looks like a call to my oral surgeon tomorrow to make sure all is okay, and another week of liquids/pureed foods if he says this pain is normal.
I have lost 6 pounds since last Monday, not a great way to be loosing again but I'll take it. Now to motivate myself to get to the gym on the way home from work tomorrow and take a walk during my lunch.
Hope everyone has an awesome day....

Sorry it took me so long to see this.
Junket is like a custard, it is made with Rennet Tablets.
You can find rennet tablets in the pudding section in the grocery store. The box is a white box with Red and blue writing with a red and blue stripe at the bottom of the box. It contains 8 tablets per box.
I tried to make it with 1% milk and it did not set. This must be made with whole milk for the custard to set so it is a treat, not something to have often.
The recipe is as follows:
2 cups of whole milk
2 tsp. splenda
1 tsp vanilla - or any other flavoring your in the mood for
1 Junket tablet
1 tablespoon of cold water.
Have 4 dessert dishes ready (this is important as you need to pour the custard into the dessert dish as soon as the milk mixture hits the correct temp)
Combine milk, splenda, and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat while stirring to lukewarm (110 degrees).
Disolve the Renett tablet in water by crushing. Add this to the warm milk and stir for a FEW SECONDS ONLY.
Pour at once, while still liquid, into the dessert dishes.
Let stand UNDISTURBED for 10 minutes.
Move very care not to disturbe the custard to the fridge and chill
Calories per 1/2 cup serving
Junket made with splenda & whole milk - 88 calories
The package of Rennett Tablets will come with a small booklet with a lot of different recipes for ice cream and various cheeses that can also be made from these Rennett Tablets. Mom only taught me how to make the custard but one of these days I might try some of the suggested recipes in the little booklet.
Hope you enjoy....
