Well, obviously I am the cousin who shows up and knows absolutely nothing about the gathering, tries to participate and manages to spectacularly not get it right. Thank you for the accolades and for allowing me to come to your party. It was fun and I am glad that I came. Thanks Dr. J for hosting the party and for the lovely awards; I will be waiting by the mailbox for the arrival of my 3 spectacularly expensive and gaudy trophies -- 2 Constanzas and 1 for getting 2 Constanzas.

Thanks Dr. J. Maybe next year, I can actually watch a game (or at least a highlight) and do better. Good job to all of you. Great job Tommy.

Am I eligible for the "award" since I missed two weeks of picking (not that it would have added many points but I don't want to take anyone's trophy if I am not eligible)

I missed last week because I was in the wilds of Oceanside (okay just because there was a shopping center across the street it doesn't mean it wasn't roughing it. There was no wifi).

Monica Poland hasn't posted any links or commentsno links and 2 comments to the Locker Room.
This is what the text spacing looks like on Firefox (in case you didn't know) but it wraps down around the jersey) but that's probably because I don't have the information on top like BoKnows does.
And now I'll have 3 comments in the Locker Room.

Obviously my picks from last week didn't post (it's the hit the button twice thing that I am still having trouble getting used to.) Oh well, back in the cellar again.
Let's see if I can do it right this time.

and if she ends up with mouth or throat pain due to the radiation my friend (who is on year 5 recovery wise) recommends pearl drops (ask her doctor).

Looks impressive Dr.John. I went with a dough maker instead of a bread maker when my 1.5 breadmaker died. I have a large family so I make enough dough for 6 loaves (although I usually make pizza and English muffins instead of bread). I also have a mill so I can make different kinds of flour.
posted by Monica Poland at 10:17 PM on April 17
What kind of bread maker do you have? My best have been 1/3 white, 1/3 fresh ground whole wheat and 1/3 ground oat flour (I also use a tsp of vitamin C crystals as dough enhancer). I always use bulk yeast (rather than the little envelopes). English muffins are a great use for your bread dough. I use either scalded milk or water and butter or canola for the oil.
