It is a great morning here in Stockton - yes, folks, it&#39;s actually raining&#33;  Front&#39;s about through though...sigh...no more rain forecast until Saturday, so here&#39;s hoping&#33;<br />
<br />
Um, someone asked what I was doing for our Iron Chef - I&#39;m constructing a small tree trunk base, which he will use to display on of his dishes on.  I&#39;m also working on table decoration (we&#39;re going with a spring blossom theme, mostly reds, whites, and clears) and display platforms.  there&#39;s another displays aspect that we are still discussing and there&#39;s some mention of dry ice, but we shall see.<br />
<br />
Melbelle, allow me to offer my belated welcome to you.  usually ic ehck in a little more than I have been, but things have been super crazy here.<br />
<br />
I suffer from tremendous seasickness and wasn&#39;t too pleased when Chris sugested we start cruising, but Mecclazine twice a day does me right with no side effects.  Motion sickness really varies with folks and the bands work really well for some - they just made my wrist hurt,  Others swear by ginger, but it just gave me a rather unpleasant taste in the bathroom later on.  The patch had all sorts of bizarre side effect, so Mecclazine is my answer.  If you decide on the bands, take along another remedy just in case.  <br />

Mebert - umm, it sounds like your godmother might have had a stroke.  A lack of tact (altering of personality) is one of the signs.  My mom had that happen, although it took us awhile to recognize that the nasty mood swings as a side effect.  She started losing time, then the black outs started.  You might suggest this to your godmother&#39;s doctor.  Unforutanely, there isn&#39;t a remedy or a way to prevent them, but knowing that there&#39;s a medical reason behind the nastiness made it a little easier for us to bear.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.<br />
<br />
Joey, please let us know if you hear from Robert.  He&#39;s been gone a long time.<br />

Tonia, how did the cinnamon rolls turn out?  I messed around with some Mongolian lamb last night.  It was the first time I&#39;d cook with Chinese with Worchestershire sauce.    Tonight is a quick and easy lemon shrimp over pasta, since it&#39;s my theater day.  <br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a grand day.<br />
