LOVE IT!! The six year old have it an "OK", but she is not a spice fan. Hubby liked it as well. I have spent the last 6 weeks of winter catching up on the years I missed reading this blog. Loved reading you at Wondertime and Family Fun, but kind of forgot to find you in the cyber world.

As for crack broccoli, my family prefers their broc steamed, but the crack takes little enough extra effort that I make a bunch just for me as I cook the rest of dinner. I'm happy, they're happy, and I resent them less for making me cook boring food. <br /><br />Btw...so I'm reading "motherlode" the other day, laughing until I'm crying. And I think, "This is awesome!I love motherlode, but never laugh this hard. I wonder who wrote this?" So I scroll up to check the byline. And of course, it was you. A lovely surprise, like finding $5 from last year in a coat pocket.
