Hi Christina! Thank you for your concern. We took Charley to the Vet the morning after he reappeared, and he agrees with us strongly, that there was no way the poor dog was locked in that shed for 15 days. Charley was in great shape...too great for having been trapped in a shed with no food (even if there was some water source). We're sure he was taken, then put in the shed just before the neighbor found him. We don't care so much, now that he's home and safe lol.

Hi Myra!
No, Charley has not come home yet. We miss him terribly!
I've been checking out your recipes for quite some time, and love the look of them! I haven't been very active here lately, i.e., posting recipes, as I've just finally gotten my oven repaired, so was pretty limited. Talk about frustrating! I was without an oven for close to 4 months!!
Anyway, thanks for you concern over Charley.
If you have any questions regarding any of my recipes, please don't hesitate to ask.
Take care, Myra.

Thank you very much...a huge surprise for sure!

Thanks Lindsay! Jackson is adorable, btw, and can just bet he sits loyally at your feet while you are in the kitchen working away, waiting for the odd, precious crumb to drop at his feet lol.
I hope we can share lots of knowledge and great recipes.
All my best,
Alison

Thank you for that, Priyanka!!

I did check out your apricot tea. It looks delicious, and I have saved the recipe to try soon. Thank you Jai

Funny you should reply so quickly, Your Highness. I couldn't wait, so made it this evening. OMG, how wonderful is this bread!!?? I am so happy that this is low cal, fat free (yeah right),...aw what the heck..denial works for me. Hahahaha.
No worries, as I'll lose the pounds when I get back to work in the summer. I get terribly bored during the winter months when I'm off work and sitting around the house, trying to figure out what to feed two seriously fussy guys. Aarrgghh!! My husband and step-son are happy with hot dogs or Chef Boyardee's Mini Ravioli...gag, so it's really difficult to keep up the kitchen skills here.
I'll probably be picking your brains a lot in the next 2 or 3 months..so please bear with me, Amos.
Thanks again for keeping the spark alive with your great tips and recipes!
Alison
