More easily I found this in a great recipe book I have and it is also on line. Does it come close to your dream cheese fantasy? http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/american-blue-cheese-dressing,1386,RC.html<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>Lee-anneLee-anne and John Furness in francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817872383594186126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-16738722266997771302007-08-29T14:33:00.000-06:002007-08-29T14:33:00.000-06:00Doug, with an iPod you can get free downloads ("po...Doug, with an iPod you can get free downloads ("podcasts") of almost any NPR show and listen to it any time you want. I actually think you could do it without the iPod if you download iTunes onto your computer.

And, the whole time I have ever lived away from Colorado I feel claustrophobic without a vista, it drives me nuts when I can't see over the tree tops. I think the great thing about having two places to live is the contrast. Just about the time you are sick of one place you can head on to the next- that sounds like perfection to me!<BR/>Love, AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-5467210449701642582007-08-25T09:05:00.000-06:002007-08-25T09:05:00.000-06:00Lukas, I have been on the missing list for the BNI...Lukas, I have been on the missing list for the BNI reunions for quite awhile now, and hope I stay that way. Just personal preference.

I remember when our daughters were in elementary school and trying out magic tricks to entertain the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. They had one act where Maren levitated Crissy and they got it down pretty good....fooled a lot of the younger kids. Lisa's best trick was to eat a live goldfish swimming in a small glass bowl. In reality it was a carved carrot to look like a goldfish and she just wiggled the bowl to make it "swim". Too bad real life isn't that easy.

And I know I'll be missing Leran, probably four days after I get back to Moab. And your frends from France must REALLY LIKE HOT WEATHER.And how come the relative humidity is so high in Arizona? All the pools contributing to the moisture?<BR/><BR/>Barb, we can have a dishwasher here if we wanted. We just have to go out and buy it. Money is a little tight. Gotta buy windows and doors first and pay for drywall levitation. As for garbage disposals, no such thing in France, as far as I know, nobody sells 'em.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-17201461117457192432007-08-24T14:08:00.000-06:002007-08-24T14:08:00.000-06:00I can't believe you can't get a dishwasher, unless...I can't believe you can't get a dishwasher, unless Leran prohibits them or the sewage system can't handle them. Or is it a matter of space? Germany makes all kinds of diswashers that are electrically correct for Europe. Or try this link: http://www.conforama.fr/beko_dfn_6831_s_-Conforama-C-329-142843.html<BR/><BR/>I can understand a disposal might be too much for a rural sewage system. But I think they exist. <BR/><BR/>Also, I would think you could "stream" NPR from anywhere? Hmmmmmm...<BR/><BR/>Some rain here has dampened the fires.

I know how you feel...I still miss Dallas and I haven't lived there for years! Your mention of "dry air" sure hits home with me...life in Charleston during the summer is comprised of a temperature reading with "matching humidity"...whew it's been HOT here lately!<BR/><BR/>Oddly, I'd be willing to bet that after you're back in Moab for a few months you will begin to miss a few things about Leran. That's just the nature of things...we always miss what we don't have at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Nancy, I just got an announcement in the mail about a 40 year BNI class reunion...it doesn't seem possible it's been that many years (except when I look in a mirror!). You are on the list of "missing people"...shall I give them your Moab address? The reunion is going to be on 9/20/08.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
