  1. http://www.target.com/p/women-s-micro-with-lace-cheeky-hipster-gilligan-o-malley/-/A-14924053 Target carries these Gilligan & O'Malley Micro Lace Cheeky Hipsters, which are the closet design to... ...my Holy Grail of underwear (only I got them in black and lilac): http://www.target.com/p/women-s-micro-lace-hipster-gilligan-o-malley/-/A-13772954 I bought these Micro Lace Hipsters from Target a couple years ago. The most comfortable undies I've ever worn.
  2. Hello, Robin & all. Brand-spanking-new member here! My vote: Ballerina's reaching posture, clock face with Roman numerals (and an actual IV instead of IIII!), fine gold flourishes, black background, the word "Dance" in the title.... My choice for me: Pulled from my home library's dustiest shelf.
  3. Creamy Cauliflower Soup (adapted from "30 Delicious Soup Recipes You Should Try," by Linda Hall) Ingredients: 1 head cauliflower 2 cups chicken broth 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup diced ham 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup milk 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire salt & pepper to taste 8 deli slices Muenster cheese (We substitute Havarti.) 1/4 cup heavy cream (Optional: See "Tips" below.) Directions: 1. Boil cauliflower in chicken broth for about 30 minutes or until tender. (Don't bother chopping the cauliflower -- it will collapse as you stir it with other ingredients.) 2. Sautee garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add Worchestershire and diced ham. 3. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons cornstarch into milk until dissolved. Stir into ham mixture. Heat until it begins to bubble. Add all into cauliflower and broth. 4. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add seasonings and cheese. 5. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until warm and cheese is melted. 6. Serve with warm rolls or bread of choice. Tips: . To thicken, add heavy cream 1/4 cup at a time until desired consistency. . For thinner soup, add more chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time until desired consistency.
  4. I second the grilled-cheese sandwiches (butter on BOTH sides of each slice -- yum!) & tomato soup. Starter recipes in our house: . egg salad . roasted rosemary potatoes . taco soup . deviled eggs . dippy eggs & soldiers . oven-baked bacon . boxed cakes and brownies (I'm happy to share recipes.)
  5. We just read "12 Years a Slave," by Solomon Northup. Autobiography (with a ghost writer.) Haunting narrative and rich real-life context.
