    Better and worse.  My retirement savings have appreciated a subsatantial amount.  I have  close to 1 million in equity  in our house.      On the negative side I came down with an autoimmune disease in mid-2022 and my income took a nosedive because my health made working so difficult.  I have started a new business and am looking forward to a great 2024.

    My father managed an old, old restaurant that had fabulous desserts.  They had a mocha cake that knocked your socks off, wonderful napoleons and chocolate eclairs and they were famous for their chocolate cream pie.  Great apple pie, pumpkin pie and custard pie.  A while ago, I made a custard pie. My husband hadn't heard of them and he didn't think it sounded very good.  He was shocked that something that sounded so bland tasted so good.

    In the 70s guests would say, "Look! I brought some Entenmanns."  And I would think,"So?"

    Maybe we all had mothers and/or grandmothers who baked so we knew what baked desserts were supposed to taste like.

    Right - typical grocery-store mass-produced baked goods.  I could never understand the romance.

    IG is full of $1k caliber men.  This guy is a standout.   Lebanese guys have a special something.

    It doesn't matter whether it would be OK with some.  It wasn't OK with you -- and you and the provider worked things out.

    "Cacciatore" is Italian for "hunter."  Hunter-style means a dish made wit hunter sauce - no matter the country hunter sauce has mushrooms.  In France, sauce chasseur is made with brown sauce and mushrooms.  In Germany, Jaeger sauce is made brown sauce, mushrooms, usually bacon.  In Italy, cacciatore sauce is made from tomato, onion, bell pepper and mushroom.

    I would sautee the chicken breasts and use the pan drippings to flavor the sauce and only add the sauteed chicken at the very end to keep it from overcooking.

    Back in the 90s.  I started asking myself why I couldn't find a nice guy to spend my life with.   I was spending a lot of time and energy in sex clubs.  It occurred to me that I might be looking for love in the wroing places.   I cut way back on the sex clubs and started dating.  And I had a rule for myself of no sex on the first date. It was a frustrating experience - it's true, you have to kiss a lof frogs before you find your prince. And guys weren't happy with no sex on the first date. Eventually, I met the perfect guy - tall, handsome, nice, smart - everything I could ask for. I stuck with my rule of no sex on the first date - he wasn't happy about it - thought I was blowing him off, but I assured him I wasn't. I told a friend, who knew him, "I'm going to nab this guy."  He said, "Don't you think you should check with him first?"  I said,"No, I already know he's ripe for picking." Long story short, we've been a couple for over 30 years. 
    I think  that if I hadn't tested the hypothesis that sex clubs are a lousy place to find a husband, I might still be looking.
