Well, let's see... Heather found out that Doctor Mallory put recording equipment in her chest cavity when he was removing her gall bladder so that he could find out if she was having an affair with his wife Holly. Meanwhile, Roberta caught Marcus making love to his award-winning racehorse Speedy, and people are starting to realize that it was the evil Stephan who trampled Mrs. Beasley's garden... Oh wait, that's my soap opera.
Howdy all! Having a grand time down here in Houston. My nephew (3 yrs old) is hilarious, and my niece (not quite 1) has gotten really big. She laughs a lot.
Hey David, have you made chicken marsala, or anything similar? I know you do a fair amount of cooking, and I'm trying to make it for company tomorrow, and I'd love any tips.
Ruth and I had a fight last night. Apparently she has decided that all I ever do is talk about getting the bestiary. I swear I only mentionedit once yesterday and that was to say tht if thre is a $5 service fee on the prepaid debit cards, that maybe we should look at other options in getting it.
I found free internet in Montreal, in spite of everyone's attempt to make me pay. Ate at Les Trois Brasseurs last night; crepes & coffee for breakfast. Seems pretty civilized. Getting a bit of "where's your suit?" attitude. Kiss my gauche Americain boohonkus.

No chicken marsala, I'm a recovering alcoholic so I try and avoid cooking with anything that has alcohol in it. I do have a good Chicken Castellina recipe that I swiped fro Olive Garden while I worked there if you would like.
Edit: I'd also be willing to give up my Paste e Fegioli recipe if you need something for the soup course.

My biggest concern is the sautee time of the chicken seems very short, but that may just be the result of the high heat and the flattened chicken breasts. I'm also concerned I won't be able to fit all the chicken I need for four people in one pan.
Thanks for the soup offer, but I think we're going to have salad, and there's going to be brie as an hors d'oeuvre, so I think we will be covered. Although if you felt like sending any recipes via FB, I would never complain :) I'm sure I will use them sooner or later.

Th cooking time is generally lower for flattened boneless breasts. Depending on theresipe, they may also be factoring in time for it to cook in the sauce as well.
Folks have got food on their minds. Looks like a slow day.
My online time will be very limited, so these will be more like dispatches whenever I can find a moment and a connection.
The thing I find funny is that so many people will argue so hard for not playing a game on a board dedicated to the hobby of playing games.
Where are you seeing this?
It's in the "Can we stop designing/balancing and just play" thread. I will send you my address on FB.
Thanks. There was a great article by Monte Cook in the latest KQ about playing by the spirit of the rules. He pointed out that there was no game that was ever going to be perfect in the sense that someone couldn't find something to exploit. I suppose I should just be thankful that I've never run into anyone (other than the rules lawyer/overbearing optimizer) that needs to "win" a role-playing game.
Here you go.

So I heard from the school. They have offered us the opportunity to do a homebound study. This basically means that for 30 days they will have him come in after school for an hour or hour and a half a day and he will do his work and study then. This will give me time to get him on the meds, see if the meds work, and get his IEP in place. If he qualifies for the IEP than legally can move him to any school I desire that has the programs I see that will suit him. And His Charter school has said they if the meds help nd things calm down, than he is welcome back. :D
Deep breath...things will be ok.

That's good news, right? At least you know what's ahead of you. Have you seen a doctor about meds, yet?
I hope it all works out, and he can go back to the charter school.
