My son has been very, very ill. (He got out of the hospital recently)

So sorry to hear about your son's illness. Sounds like he is on the mend if he has been released from the hospital. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Out thoughts and prayers are with him and the family.

I too am working on a ceramic floor in one of the bedrooms. 3,000 feet of ceramic flooring for one old man is almost to much to do alone. Hope I out live it.

Mirandamommy, where in Central Cal? There is a place just east of Oakdale that is supposed to have the BEST fried catfish! Place looks like a dive, but my parents used to go with friends quite often, and they sell out quite frequently. And for GREAT BBQ oysters, the bar at 4 corners in Farmington cannot be beat! The Texas toothpicks are awesome too, and I've never found those anywhere else!

Last night we ate at The Winds in Yellow Springs, Ohio. 5 Stars!!! Gourmet, different flavored olives, cheese, and bread from around the world, spinach salad, prime rib with horseradish cream, some sort of scalloped potatoes, broccoli spears and coffee with brandy and kahlua. It was to die for!

Tongith was steak, shrimp skewers and corn on the cob with garlic bread. All easy after a long day of weeding and planting. Now its off to bed to rise early and build rabbit hutches and start work cleaning the newly aquired lot next door after a year and half of waiting.

I haven't made this yet, but looks interesting...found it on the web - pretty easy for those crazy days!

1 14-1/2 ounce can tomatoes, undrained and cut up
2 14-1/2 ounces cans reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
Fat-free dairy sour cream (optional)

Breakfast actually! Good morning MS P...we are very boring in our house, right now my 11 year DS is making your pancakes, (we all do love them) with our fresh eggs of course...what a pleasure to go out and get them. Our newest addition (a white leg horn has been alone for well over a year) has given us 3 eggs in 6 days, I think that is pretty good for a 9 year old?!

Sounds delish Cheryl, and easy too. I grew up eating a similar soup, Menudo. My dad would drive to authentic Mexican markets to pick up the ingredients and make it at home. I LOVE it, but I also started eating it when I was young enough not to know what's in it. Some of my Latina/o friends are even surprised that I like it.

Anyway, the two soups are similar, but Posole is better tolerated by most folks because the meat is more familiar. It can be spiced up a bit by adding some jalapeno peppers for the green version, or some New Mexico or Ancho chili's for the red version (better with pork).

Traditional toppings for either soup can include any of the following: a squeeze of fresh lime, diced avocado, diced onion, diced radish, and dried oregano.

My dad passed away before I got his recipe, so I've been forced to buy it in restaurants. I'll have to give yours a try. My hubby will eat either Posole or Menudo, but the kids won't touch the Menudo. Maybe if I start with the Posole, I can later sneak the other one on them.

After a long hard day on the chicken ranch building nursery pens and moving chicks around I worked up a hearty appetite. I came in and constructed a big pot of chicken corn chowder. Served it over a bowl of ramen noodles. It probably was not as good as I thought it was but it sure was tasty to me.
