Well, it happened. I got the precious book back again last night about 9:15. Didn't get home untill near 10:00. Spent nearly an hour looking online for a recipe and pic for Zena. Spent time with hubby and tried to go to bed.

Then it hit me ... hubby had promised the book and DVDs to a woman that works at the local children's health center and would probably take it to her today. Sooooooooo up I got and poured through the recipe section refreshing myself on what was there. Then went through them all a second time letting them inspire me and writing down these inspirations. At 6am I got to bed.

So I now have 2 pages of chicken scratch and the book and DVDs left my company about 11:20am. Below are a couple of my graveyard shift Alissa inspired rambalings.


Sausage Patties

RFT onion bread recipe with only 2 large sweet onions - we call this flaxburger mix
chopped baby bellas - 4-8oz, whatever looks good

Teri,

How nice of you to loan out your copy to help/inspire/motivate others. When I got Alissa's DVD and book, I immediately watched both DVD's back to back and went to bed reading the book that night. What inspiration it was and continues to be. It is my first "reach for" book every day. Now it is totally marked up with comments when I make recipes, including dates when first made and hints, additions and changes along with the occasional spill. Quite broken in and well loved. Would be kind of embarassed to loan mine out--LOL.
