dyk, I can see why that would make you want one

dyk, they are supposed to be an excellent way to make nut based sauces, which is why I want one

dyk, I probably should stay away from nut based cream sauces

dyk, I picked up a dozen cupcakes from the newer place by my office

dyk, we are working on trying all of the local places to determine which is best

dyk, so far Babycakes is the winner, but today's cupcakes from Cakeology beat out Sweet...although Sweet has better flavors

dyk, personally, I like Kick A$$ cupcakes the best...but we haven't put them to the test at work

dyk I had not even thought about nut based sauces
dyk John will eat anything if I put peanut sauce on it
dyk and before anyone asks, I have not fully tested that theory, though I have been tempted.

Dyk I've made lots of sauces in my vitamix. The nut based ones are usually cashew based. I swear that blender will blend anything!

Dyk I've had mine for maybe 4-5 years, so it's an older model with no soup setting, but I've made lots of soup in it. Just let it blend long enough and they come out piping hot!

Dyk so my sister and the boys are still here. In our house. We all thought she would be getting her own place, but it's been a month as there's no sign of that happening soon.

Dyk and her his and moved up here and got his own place, but he's over all the time.

Dyk this house is way too small for 9 people.

Dyk I'm working on stuff so that I can start taking clients of my own. I need to start working again, though only part time for now.

Dyk and my mom was going to watch iz for me, but now she's watching the boys because my sister hasn't put them in preschool yet (and I don't want her having to watch all 4 kids). My mom said she would tell my sister thatshe couldn't watch the boys when I needed her to watch Isabelle, but I don't want to deal with the drama that would follow.

Dyk so my back up plan is to hire a nanny that would come to my house, that way my mom would still be here, just in case.
