Good Sunday Morning to everyone! Sending good thoughts and prayers out to those of you who are going through difficult times. I love reading about your gardens and pets. @Cricket please give that beautiful puppy an extra squeeze from me. I grew up in a family that loved gardening and pets but the gardening DNA skipped me although I do have an Australian Cattle Dog who rules our house. The best part of a stressful day is when I come home from work and he basically knocks me down into a chair so he can crawl up on my lap and tell me all about his day.

@Bronx Babe my deepest sympathies upon your mothers's passing. No matter hole old you are, when your Mom dies you become an orphan. It sounds like you were able to bring peace to her last days and I am glad your brother did respond.

@Lord Donia, my meatloaf always comes out great but I don't have exact quantities. Roughly a cup of flavored breadcrumbs to about 1.5 pounds of ground beef (85%) lean plus an egg, a chopped red pepper, a medium chopped onion and a couple of tablespoons of Adobe seasoning (garlic powder can substitute) and topped with ketchup. Bake at a 375 degree oven for about an hour. I think the red pepper instead of green makes the difference.

This season seems to be an exceptional one for sweet corn. It is way too early for the local version here in CT but wherever what is being sold in the supermarket is grown now is amazing. Super sweet especially when grilled. Another long term Y&R fan here. Hate the new Ashby twins but they always seem to want a teenage storyline for the summer months. Faith will probably be next. i love this forum. The tone is fun, friendly and respectful.
