He has a b machine. I'll be using pans.

I tried to chop the fruit prunes and dates in the Cuisinart and it didn't work to well. Carolina tols me they would be too gummy and I added a little flour and they are soaking now. Usually I'll use raisins. He used prunes the first time I had it on our first dinner date that awesome post Valentine's date that lasted 10 hrs.

I don't know why these are not posting. The drafts save. Some of my email take forever to send too, I'm not liking gmail too much.

I saved 35 dollars with coupons at the grocery story. Granted it took me 2 hrs. I have to also watch the ad's. Caro makes a list by store.

Jim helped me put things away, or he carried my last heavy bag into the kitchen and was stunned at all the food. He said he wouldn't know what to do with all that food. I still need to get some tomatoes and paste and a few other things too.
Time to empty my freezer, clean it too and list what is where and turn it over. I know I have things frozen, like lemon juice, and soups i need to dump or use. Bread for sure that needs to go.

This loaf I hope will be the best of the 3 loaves I've made in the last week.

I'm also going to make a Bean soup with squash and spinach.
