Lane - I think love is demon...Well done that man! <br /><br />Lane - I think love is demonstrated in lots of ways, but one way is to give of yourself to others. You probably could have gone to a supermarket on the way to the game and snapped up sandwiches on white bread (with the American cheese as you described), and the girls wouldn't have minded one little bit. But Sydney has seen that you're willing to take time to prepare special sandwiches, even though no one will notice or think anything of it. You do it because she's worth it and because you like to do things 'properly'. Both of those are fabulous messages for her to 'hear'. <br /><br />Megan<br />Sydney, AustraliaMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-54025180579257053062011-09-09T22:17:52.469-05:002011-09-09T22:17:52.469-05:00Your daughter is so lucky to have great Dad's ...Your daughter is so lucky to have great Dad's like you. I don't think I ever remember my Dad doing anything like making lunch for a school group although he did give me a Mary Poppins birthday party when I was 8! <br />I saw on tv a great way to get boiled eggs out of the shell, cool boiled eggs to where you can handle them but not cold. Crack shell with a spoon and peel. I think I only had one that sort of stuck using this method. I always used to soak them in cold water and then into the fridge befoe I peeled them. Thanks to the Barefoot Contessa, I now know I was doing it wrong.mtquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416801244347996555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-1092610517903434242011-09-09T09:58:22.955-05:002011-09-09T09:58:22.955-05:00You're awesome.

I spent many many days at sport meets and band events (and all the practices getting there), and every now and then you overhear or are blessed with a direct comment expressing appreciation for the not-mediocre something that you or some other parent did.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-6961261231478761972011-09-09T06:25:36.685-05:002011-09-09T06:25:36.685-05:00I definitely want some homemade chicken salad now!...I definitely want some homemade chicken salad now!

LOL. I cook for an army everyday. <br />When I have to do carry-in, my kids LOVE it, they get what is leftover the minute I walk through the door. You'd think I had starved them, but I ALWAYS make them as much as I take.<br /><br />If they ATE, you did well. Kids can be so stinkin' PICKY sometimes!<br />Lucy~qltmom9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00891119764581754368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-47655261139198294342011-09-08T18:59:45.737-05:002011-09-08T18:59:45.737-05:00An excellent chicken salad recipe, sure the girls ...An excellent chicken salad recipe, sure the girls appreciated it.

You chop them up anyway so they blended in and who can tell? Spray Pam in the holder, break the egg into it (look Dad, no peeling!) Then you can take a knife and chop them right in the container.<br />Another tip: Cheese keep a long time if you wrap it tightly in foil. Rarely molds.<br />Good job Lane!<br />PaulinePaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032916395238804901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-22882842211993604582011-09-08T18:39:37.292-05:002011-09-08T18:39:37.292-05:00Well, to add to the mix: if you only have fresh eg...Well, to add to the mix: if you only have fresh eggs; add apple cider vinegar to the cold water, add the eggs, bring to a boil, simmer 15 minutes.<br /><br />Shells will separate easily ... or mine do. Sis gives me eggs fresh as can be, so I know it works for me.<br /><br />Hmmm... quilting blog. I am thinking about fabric.

I don't know if it was really appreciated, but my daughter appreciates me and has fond memories. I was the room mom for both my son and daughter at one time. Made favors for both for all parties....just about did me in, as simple things would never do!!<br /><br />Oh, and I have found...through experience. Boiling NEW eggs or Fresh eggs result in the shells sticking like mad. Plan if you can and use older eggs...they peel like a charm....I always know a bunch of mindless junk, but that is the trick!!<br /><br />Have fun at the games!!Coloradoladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312809532968928183noreply@blogger.com
