It's been a wild weather week here in the Northeast. We jumped from winter to summer within a span of days and even had a small tornado touch down a little ways off, nothing like in Oklahoma, but yet I feel sorry for those who suffered home & business damage. Loss is loss. I hope you may have an extra prayer for anyone in the path of a storm, whether by nature or any other ominous force.<br /><br />Melissa, you've certainly did not suffer any stormy interference in viewer hits. You've received quite a few international hits and I thank you for appearing as my guest this week. Thanks too for you lovely Book Giveaway offer. <br /><br />And the winner of Melissa K. Norris' PIONEERING TODAY is:<br /><br />Kristen. Congratulations, Kristen. Both Melissa & I will be contacting you in private emails.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-74057627118310038792013-05-28T21:30:14.780-07:002013-05-28T21:30:14.780-07:00Sandi, it's so important and I hope this helps...Sandi, it's so important and I hope this helps you out.

But I do try to recognize this and slow things back down when I can. And I've gotten very good at not falling back on the fast food option even if we do sometimes eat some strange combinations based on what I have made previously and what I find in the freezer for emergency nights. ;-)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651401312450990123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-66441296504808995472013-05-26T09:36:15.208-07:002013-05-26T09:36:15.208-07:00Virginia, the 5 minute bread is so quick and easy....Virginia, the 5 minute bread is so quick and easy.

I've been working in a bakery/cafe these past 8 years and admit that after standing on my feet all those hours selling sweets, I cannot bring myself to bake. However, with only a 1x easy-meal, one thing I really try to do despite the low energy and desire is to make a nutritious meal for my husband & I. We really are what we consume.<br /><br />I always appreciate your visits!Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-3860710934173557442013-05-25T02:19:53.841-07:002013-05-25T02:19:53.841-07:00My Mother always cooked from scratch & so do I...My Mother always cooked from scratch & so do I.

Hi, Melissa!
I lo...Elaine, what a fun interview! <br /><br />Hi, Melissa!<br /><br />I loved what you said about giving your kids a plot of the garden when they were young. What special memories you must have created! <br /><br />I used to make a lot of baked goods from scratch. I've gotten out the habit lately, but should probably return. When we lived in southern California, we had a plum, lemon, orange, and apricot tree in our back yard. I was always amazed at how different--more flavorful--than the fruit I purchased in the story.
