hmmm, as I was saying (boy! that fainting couch really knocked me out!) we are really getting mellow!**bg**

Alba, I decided to go for the red velvet one, so feel free to indulge in a rest/nap on the Springy one. I'll bet the kitty will come over, too; she likes to cuddle.

Peg, your winter fruit salad sounds wonderful! Here's a salad dressing my dad made up and we all promptly became *addicted* to, very simple:

Grate the outside of a lemon, for a few shreds of peel, then squeeze the same lemon into a mixing bowl or server. Add a small bit of water and a bit more of light olive oil, then add shaving from the peel. Stir it all up, test it to see if it needs more oil or water and then drizzle it over a fresh salad of greens, tomatoes, scallions, etc. Very light and tangy.

Now then, I see Badger looked a lot better this afternoon when Tig went to visit, so howsabout we have a round of drinks for Badger, Tig and Firekat? Here's to YOUR health, Badger!! And, here's to Magician for helping out and being a good friend!! luvya!!
