Morning from Stockton - bet everyone back east is getting really ready for Spring now.  jsut heard from my NH friend that got nearly a foot a snow.  She is so ready to move South or West.<br />
<br />
Today should be pretty laid back.  Just cat sitting and maybe finally carcking open the plastic on my new &quot;Rosemary and Thyme&quot; DVD.<br />
<br />
The picnic was too successful - Chris is already planning the menu for next week&#39;s...<br />
<br />
Mebert - I was so sorry to hear that your godmother is ill.  Have you managed a visit with her yet?  You are both in my thoughts.<br />
<br />
Tonia, we have an Italian friend who grew up in Philly and still calls it gravy.  Different strokes and all that.  I will post that egg plant recipe.  Sorry that I missed your request last time around.<br />
<br />
Joey - I assembled and published a cookbook a few years back and they are a pain in the fanny to put together, especially the proofing.  It was based on my Mom&#39;s old family recipes.  She had more recipes for rabbit than anyone I know of, but she never served it.  Go figure.  I&#39;m game if Tonia is.<br />
<br />
Mary Lou, my fingers are crossed for a successful egg hunt.  <br />
<br />
Mercedes - what a great sunroom.  It looks fabulous.  What a great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon..<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a grand day.<br />
<br />
Charlie
