Something Is Weird With the Blog
Marjorie and Walt Farrell--Marjorie was a Clarion student--are driving home from Wiscon and they will be passing my place tonight. So Bob and I are going to take them out to dinner. It will be a little bit of Wiscon for an evening.
Something weird is going on with the blog. I'm going to back up all my posts after I post this. I'm hoping this post will bring it back to life.

Blog weirdness seems to have passed. For a few hours, there was a blank page. I thought it was a LM firewall issue.

Oh, good, it's back.
I made a lemon meringue pie. I felt guilty that sf friends were coming and I wasn't cooking _anything_.
Pretty soon I'll have to ship another couple of boxes of brownie mix to Zakbar. Just 'cause I miss him.
Did you use extra lemon zest? Kinda *zings* it up.
I used lemon zest, but the recipe called for 2 teaspoons which is a lot of zest and I got bored, so no extra. Tasted pretty good.
I wish I could get pie out a piepan, though.
Walt and Marjorie's car was making odd noises, so this morning they took it to our mechanic and we took them to breakfast. The odd noises were a whellbearing, which will be fixed by noon. And breakfast was quite good.
How do you make your crust? I find it comes out of the pan easier when I use shortening (like Crisco) but will practically weld itself to the pan if I use butter. I've started using the no-trans-fat Crisco, which requires a little extra water to get the pie dough to the proper consistency, but otherwise tastes fine.
(When Danny found out, after we were married, that I could make a pie from scratch, he was thrilled practically beyond words. I strive to keep him impressed.)
Maureen may grumble about lacking the ability to get pie out of a pie pan, but at least she has nothing to worry about in the pie-making department.
That pie was excellent.
I also enjoyed dinner at the Japanese restaurant (and my first real experience with sushi), and breakfast while we got the car worked on. All in all, a great visit.
Now all I need is a recumbent bike to help work off the calories. (Seriously, I do have a touring bike that I must dust off soon, along with Marjorie's mountain bike, so we can both hit the road. But it was fun trying out recumbents with Bob.)

Cool blog you have going here, I will check in often! I have a similar site about wholesale fashion jewelry. It pretty much covers wholesale fashion jewelry related stuff.
