I've been meaning to find some good slow cooker recipes. I'd love to get those from you, Megan. firstname.lastname@gmail.com (also in my profile). Thanks!

That snow removal article was interesting. Last week's foot of snow didn't really have any effect on me other than choice of footwear.

Aren't empanadas usually with meat?

Oh, that's right. Fish tacos!

Tarragon chicken, in a slow cooker? Count me in! casperflea @ gmail.

Don't make me break my Lenten vow on the first day! (Although that's about as long as my no gossiping vow of Lent 2009 lasted.)

Me too! robin@captionmax.com

Me too, Megan!

Maybe this will make me buy a slow cooker finally

What constitutes gossip? I am curious. Is the def. stuff you wouldn't say in the subject's presence?

Also, please to send me any veggie or seafood slow cooker recipes, Ms. Walker?

My employee emailed me to say he had to step out to go to church for Ash Wednesday. I am DYING to know what he's giving up for Lent since he has no bad habits. But it's definitely not something I could ever ask, especially of an employee.

Pretty much. This was when I thought many of us were being too negative at work. Of course, that has only escalated since.

None for now, but hopefully soon once I start with the new vegetarian slow cooker cookbook I got for Christmas. The favorites file has plenty of veggie recipes so I'll include you in the next batch, along with Lee, Scrappy, Jilli, PC, DJ, ita, flea, Kathy, Aurelia, insent.

If I've missed anyone so far, let me know.

When I went out at lunch, I did a hard WTF?!? double-take at a woman with ashes on her forehead.

I think that *officially* marks the moment I became a lapsed Catholic.
