I can only eat liquid soups, so I could really go for some Dal right now! <br /><br />Oh, and to answer your question, I'm not really thinking about having kids yet, but I know that if I do, it will most likely be adoption. I agree with some of the above commenters- so many kids need love and a home, it just breaks my heart.bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-1980443254642812922007-01-21T01:43:00.000-06:002007-01-21T01:43:00.000-06:00I don't know why...but slow cookers scare me! lol

Have you had any problems with that?<br /><br />I have the twinkie pan and love it (I have two because I'm too impatient to wait for the pan to cool before using it again and I usually have to make more than eight servings). Since BBB often has coupons and I wasn't sure if I could use them online, I called my local store -- they had the item in stock but not on the floor so I was able to purchase mine that way, saving on shipping. I use mine in place of cupcakes now for mini cakes. Definitely worth the investment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-33018046153090141872007-01-19T21:34:00.000-06:002007-01-19T21:34:00.000-06:00hi dori! i've been eyeing robin robertson's dahl r...hi dori! i've been eyeing robin robertson's dahl recipe, but have decided to go with emmy's instead -- thanks for the tip. and your golden cauliflower soup really looks & sounds delicious! i hope you get the twinkie pan so that i can have some fun vicariously! oh, the adoption link is really heartbreaking -- all those kids needing some family love, it's just not right.Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-35228680728426905322007-01-19T12:16:00.000-06:002007-01-19T12:16:00.000-06:00Ooh, I've lusted over those corn dogs.

The twinkies, not so much :)<br /><br />I don't think I would adopt unless I couldn't have children of my own (the baby fever... you know how it goes), but I do believe in adopting older animals instead of kittens/puppies.

I've often thought about adopting or fostering. I can't imagine what it must be like to be 14 and "too old" for anyone to want to adopt. That must be so painful. And the teen years are so formative that having a stable, loving home is important. I don't know if Marty would ever agree to it though. We've talked about it before and he's never been too fond of the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-8454872371322337952007-01-18T16:28:00.000-06:002007-01-18T16:28:00.000-06:00Your dahl looks great!

I like the two bite rule. <br />I'm only 18 and I don't ever plan on having any children of my own or otherwise but I have already thought if I did want to I would adopt. It would go with my principles so well - kinda like getting an animal from a shelter not a breeder - why bring another life into the world when there are already so many who need love!<br />Good on you for considering it!Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161195753297828148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-40803692534191022572007-01-18T13:49:00.000-06:002007-01-18T13:49:00.000-06:00I'm crazy for lentils and split peas, and your dah...I'm crazy for lentils and split peas, and your dahl looks fabulous! So does the calzone. I love oatmeal bread (and muffins and pizza dough). <br /><br />I don't really have a comment about your wish list items. Although it was hard in many ways for my son to leave home 3 years ago, we just accepted it as the next phase in our lives. And thankfully, he visits me every weekend (or more!) and he always tells me how great my cooking is.aTxVegnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949520229934543457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-9372926398634018552007-01-18T13:38:00.000-06:002007-01-18T13:38:00.000-06:00You're amazing Dori.

Although I have no personal experience fostering or adopting children, I often imagine myself fostering an older child in the future, as my own son gets older. I know that I won't have any other biological children, and there are so many kids out there that need a foster family... Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts :)Mikaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972360055152767947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-88188635938675091152007-01-18T09:45:00.000-06:002007-01-18T09:45:00.000-06:00Dori,

I agree...$15 for a few hours of entertainment and a delicious treat sounds pretty much like a bargain to me. Plus, I bet the homemade Twinkies are so much more delicious than the processed, packaged ones. I'm just guessing...<br /><br />:-) Genie<br /><a href="http://www.theinadvertentgardener.com">The Inadvertent Gardener</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-26587343415248724182007-01-18T09:27:00.000-06:002007-01-18T09:27:00.000-06:00Those calzones sound absolutely delicious.
