Jackie...thanks&#33;<br /><br />Since I don&#39;t have exact amounts you can just taste and test.  LOL  I simmer it with the cover on.  If you have a Food Saver system, the bean dish freezes really well, too.  My DD may have to go back to work sooner than she wants, too.  It&#39;s sooo hard when you have little ones at home.<br /><br />Rose...thank you&#33;<br /><br />Debbie...thanks.  I have been thinking that I should really write down some of the recipes for my daughters that I &quot;just do&quot; or have in my head.  There are things they really like, and I should tell them what I do.  I did try writing out the potato salad, but when you just do it, and I usually make a large batch of that, too, it&#39;s kind of hard to put down the exact amounts since I just add and taste.  I did write out the general directions though and gave to my girls.  <br /><br />I was thinking about Sabrina...did the vet ever test her thyroid and blood sugar?<br /><br />Linda...it&#39;s always so nice to spend time with family, and the little ones...glad you had a nice day.<br /><br />Sheri, Kevin and Falina...that is so great that you connected with old friends...I&#39;ve thought of looking for old girlfriends from high school but wouldn&#39;t know their married names.<br /><br />Donna...hope all goes well with the holter and doctor&#39;s visits.  <br /><br />Cheryl...hope you can find some time to relax and enjoy your company while they are there.  Don&#39;t work too hard.<br /><br />Shaunna...and everyone ...good night...sleep tight&#33;
