Yes, I heard that one! I thought it was interesting how Joyce has such strong feelings and well-developed thoughts about people being allowed to change their name when they come of age. It sounds like something she and Dr. W.F. Harley have discussed a lot!

tismeagain, I make my own but you can buy them at Cheesecake Factory. Their cheesecakes are pretty pricey, though!

Thanks Melody, I will have to check to see if we have one close by. I have a recipe for one using Splenda, but it leaves a funny after taste.

London Broil (shoulder steak), french-fried potatoes, and a garden salad, served with a pleasant Umbrian Sangiovese. Dessert will be a special chocolate-topped cherry-cream brownie.

It's time you started spelling it properly!

I'll have what you're having - tomorrow.

My bone-idle 16 year-old son likes French onion soup, and so having run out of summer over here (I thought), I decided to make that tonight. It turned out to be 75 degrees or something today - the hottest day for weeks - and I'm stuck simmering soup to which I must add croutons and melted cheese. According to my recipe, you're meant to burn your tongue as you eat it boiling hot.

Lol, 75 degrees is hot? I'm in balimer MD and that is what I have the A/C set to.
And londoners never hearing about London broil, that's no surprise

In the Hilton when I was young it used to be made from a flank peice of meat, as well in the Jewish camps I worked at as a kid, where I developedan instant love for it

Then sometime in the 90s saw it packaged in the store, with God knows what part of the animal it came from, and I had to design my own way of preparing it, to even make it come close

Maybe that's why blood pudding allways turned my stomach too, got any recipes?
