Hi Hap,

A day later than the message just before this but with a completed book
review.  Just a bit more writing and I'll be done with this class.
Spring semester starts next Thursday, back to the super busy time.

-> Defrosting the freezer first or is it a frost free?  I've got chicken

 HN> Ours is frost free, and I'm glad it is!!
 HN> finished the split pea last night for dinner

Our fridge freezer is frost free but the chest freezer isn't. We've got
to work on eating it down so that by the time warm weather comes again
we can defrost it.  It's chilled off again; right now (9 pm) it's 39
outside. At least the rain has quit, until Sunday.

 HN> more than likely do a pot roast and chili
 HN> and that will be supplying the freezer for

Sounds good.  I pulled a bit of left over sauerbraten and red cabbage
out for supper the other night.  Nice and easy supper, minimal clean up.
We also had noodles with it.

You can eat out, just have to be sensible about it. My doctor called
about the blood work.  She said it all looked good except the LDL
levels.  We decided to let me try getting those down thru eating better
before going the meds route.  No more fried Chick-Fil-A sandwich, got to
go for the broiled instead. (G)

-> We bought UP but haven't watched it yet; we have enjoyed Pixar movies
-> off.  We've not seen Julie & Julia yet but have read about it.  My
-> grandmother used to enjoy watching Julia "at work".

 HN> You'll love UP, I'm considering

 We'll try to watch it before classes start again or before the work
 piles on too high.  The trailers looked good so I'm expecting the movie
 will be just as good.

 HN> Julia is wonderful and Meryl Streep
 HN> does a wonderful job as Julia, so

From what I've read, she did quite an outstanding job.  I understand
that Julie has a new book out (or due out any day) but not to the same
quality of the first book (that started as a blog).

 HN> believable! I'm with your grandmother,
 HN> I enjoyed watching Julia at work as well
 HN> (gee why do I feel so old suddenly??(grin))

Biting my tongue on that one. (G)
