I'm so sorry

I had to go back to work when my DS was two months old. I was not ready, but was laid off at six months pg so had to take a great job when it came along. I still cried every day for the first week or so - but it got more bearable. I hope it does for you too.

Yeah I break down every time I even THINK about it.

I know next Tuesday is going to be a killer at work.

Especially since I'll have 10,000 questions (including where is she now).

Oh, but so nice to hear she gets to stay with someone you know! I'm sure she will understand the 20 calls the first few days

That is about what I pay, and thankfully the bill is guesstimated and paid in installments so by the time I go to the butcher, I need only pay the last $100.

I need recipes though. I know how to cook fish, but beef and pork and I'm clueless unless it is ground. I ended up feeding my dogs tri-tip and top sirloin just before bicking up my quarter last year. I heard I made an awesome roast at Christmas, but I did not really care for it myself.

Now I have porkchops to learn how to cook as well.

OH man....I'll hook ya up with some....we just had the most amazing chops the other night!

The recipe sounds gross but it was SOOOO good....

Thanks!


Maybe I should have a BYC harvest party to make some room in the freezer!

I was lucky not to have to work when I had babies. DH sometimes pesters me about when I will start working (doing what, I don't know), and I hate the idea, even now when Ari is 19 months. I can't imagine having to leave a baby that young...and sleep, with both my kids, was SO bad at that age. I was a zombie.

Don't use pistachio pudding, bleh

The pistachio flavor is over-powering.

My kids love it, but it reminds me of spumoni ice-cream, and I never cared for spumoni.

I bought fresh rock-cod and we are having friends over for dinner tomorrow. I'm looking forward to that! I think there will be plenty of pumpkin/spumoni bars left.

Well ya might already knowthisonebut one ofmy fav ways is to dip the chops in egg then bread crumb (I repeat this. Season to your likes. Then place in a fairly hot skillet with a little extra oil DO NOT disturb until the nice golen color comes about 1/2 way up the side. Then carefully scrape loose from the pan turn over and repeat. once both sides are done pop in theoven 350 for about 30 min. they will fall apart in yer mouth. Also if yer chops arenice thick ones a stuff em just before putting in the oven.

Sounds good! I got these from Scott with my half pig. He took me to the barn and showed me 3 to choose from, and asked which I wanted. One big black and white one walked up and batted her (his?) long eyelashes at me!

When I was a kid, we ate them a couple times a year, but always with boiled potatoes and sauer kraut -

I was nearly 30 before I ate potatoes again and I still hate sauer kraut.
