You'd be proud of me though, my composter is coming along, my garden planning is -- is -- in the planning stages. It's been fairly nice lately, so it does look like spring might show up around here soon. Kay,

You’re hard to keep up with, girl!

You’d be proud of me though, my composter is coming along, my garden planning is — is — in the planning stages.

It’s been fairly nice lately, so it does look like spring might show up around here soon.

Maybe the problem is what you're replacing the sauvignon blanc with. Tell the truth — you've turned to a nice merlot, cabernet blend to go with that duck and goat cheese salad, haven't you? Don't blame me! :-) Miles,

I'm eating anything I can prepare in 5 minutes or less. I ran out of gf bread yesterday, so I had to come in from the workshop and do some baking. Is it looking like spring in your neck of the woods?

You are so RIGHT about making sure you are strong enough to do a cleanse. People don't think about that, but these things should be individualized for each person. For many people, two or three weeks of preparation is warranted first. My cleanse is not hard core, but it would be if I suggested it for someone who eats at McDonald's every day, drinks a lot of alcohol, or something like that. Or, for someone dealing with a health condition. It's about tailoring it to the person. Everyone can get to this point, it simply takes a personalized approach. You're smart to know your own body well enough to know what is best for you! Coconutgal,

I've made this with no sweetener and it tastes fine, although just not a sweet (obviously). Glad you didn't have a major blog meltdown. Yes, it's definitely a weird feeling when it flat-out disappears! Thank goodness for techy geeks. :-) Shirley,

I'd have to substitute for that. I have tried all types of stevia, even the ones that are not supposed to be bitter, and they all taste bad to me. I'd rather have no sugar than stevia. I do love Naomi's potion, too. That could have some great applications (pun intended)! Seriously. I am saving both of these concoctions right now. Shirley P.S. Thought of you today. All my posts and comments disappeared for several hours. Tech support saved the day and I am breathing once again. Owe you an email ... soon. The dipping sauce does sound good, except for the stevia.

I must admit to being a touch concerned as you weren't your usually chipper (or did Miles call you chirpy?) self. I've always thought it would be fun to work in a cheese shop, simply to learn about all the cheeses. I have such a hard time with dairy products that it probably wouldn't be a good idea, but I love learning about cheeses, wines, and special things like that. Your house sounds charming, albeit a lot of work, I'm sure. Yes, you certainly do seem to have varied (and fascinating) interests! Cid,
