Checking out for awhile

This may be the last post until next week. We're headed off to the Land of Legos, to explore southern Sweden and take a look at the Danish countryside. Can't wait!

The school cookbook, that I have diligently been working on since the beginning of time (so it seems), is finally OUT. Wow, what a relief. Later, I'll post a picture of this baby, that has been in gestation for the past nine months and has finally been delivered. It's a culinary tour of the world and will definitely give me a chance to broaden my cooking horizons. There are a few recipes which I suspect I will never, ever try, like blood pudding, and some other specialties that are just too weird and foreign for my meat and potatoes family!

The past couple weeks have seen me sitting in front of Microsoft Publisher, trying to crank out a digital class yearbook for my son's 4th grade class. I have really enjoyed working on it. Today is the big test though. I'm trying to convert the Publisher document to Adobe Acrobat reader. IF, (and that's a big IF), it works, I'll burn copies of the yearbook onto CD and give each student one. I have never converted anything to the Acrobat reader, and the whole project hangs on this miracle being performed. The yearbook, as it stands at this point, is about 60 MB. So we're transferring it to shrink it and also make it readable for EVERYONE, since supposedly, EVERYONE has access to the Acrobat reader.... I have a list of technical gurus whom I'll be approaching within the next few hours if I don't succeed on my own. (Which is very likely.)

I leave you with this.



Notice how the dog is hanging out of the bun.... Now that's a (Swedish) hot dog!!

Have a great week and remember to
Rejoice Evermore!
