    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Another woman from BC died today (maybe yesterday). BC is loaded with H1N1. So far I haven't seen many people at work dropping from it but - their kids are getting it so I doubt it will be long. I watched a report on the news last night. The speaker stated that the vaccine is considered safe...

    Buying Canadian

    This is an email I received today. Can you buy "Canadian"? Hello, I think this one is worth passing on…especially since the USA is preaching to their citizens to buy American. It is time we Canadians see the light! Subject: Fw: 1 bulb at a time. A physics teacher in high school, once...

    Tonight's slowcooker...Jambalaya

    This sounds good but it really sounds like a lot of work. Our recipe is very quick. You can pre-cook the chicken and the penne' anytime and the rest can be cut up and your meal ready in about 10 min. We only use cajun spice. (we use some salt while cooking the pasta) By the way - don't substitue...

    Tonight's slowcooker...Jambalaya

    Hi Rufus, I have not read the recipe but I am also allergic to prawns/shrimp. We used to have a restaurant and we served this recipe. It was ordered frequently so it must be okay. All of us still make a batch now and again. Here it is. This is a recipe for one or two people by the way. 1/4 cup...

    H1N1 - Think it will never really touch you?

    Mondays and Tuesdays I look after my grandkids. Today my eldest son called to say that he himself had been exposed to Swine Flu. In the first couple of seconds of the call I felt he was over-reacting. I cont'd to listen. Last Thursday one of the guys working on his house was not feeling too...

    Need help to convert...

    We cook alike Anna. I said nix the Sage too - does seem very odd for pizza sauce as does the mustard. Iggy: Are you saying mustard or mouseturd?

    Need help to convert...

    No no no! Ditch the sage - not the thyme. No mustard powder in pizza sauce. You have to be careful using real garlic unless you cook with it all the time. It's ever so much stronger. Better to add more as needed when you are making your pizza than to have a whole batch of sauce you don't want.

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    Only tomatoes? Don't you use beets also?

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    I don't see why you couldn't make and then preserve (maybe even freeze) this recipe for pizza sauce made from fresh home grown tomatoes. http://www.vancityallie.com/tag/best-pizza-sauce-recipe/http:// It sounds really good. :lol: Just double or triple or whatever the recipe and put it in...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    After I wrote to you I realized just how much time we spend. We looked after grandkids Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday my husband took our grandson to your city for hockey (rep team). He's just turning 10 at the end of this month so he's little yet but he plays well. Grampa was with him for 12...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Good for you. You are lucky in a way. I was born into a family of worriers ;-). My youngest is 39 but I (as I've pointed out numerous times to everyone)look after both my kids, kids so their worries become mine almost daily. We spend a fair amount of time with family so we nearly always know...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Thank you Talloola and I wish the same for all of your family - particularly your grandson. I hope his Mom changes her mind. His heart certainly doesn't need more stress does it? You must be very worried.

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    It's on the news today that Canada will receive the vaccine at the same time as all other countries. I'm feeling a little concerned. There is quite an article on the telus home page and it talks about how bad things get when certain people get not only the HlNl but added viruses along with it...

    News Advice on avoiding passing on the H1N1 Virus

    I was reading an article from yesterday's paper. It was in regard to keeping your business up and running in the wake of a pandemic which appears almost a certainty right now. Some of their suggestions were things like: Hold tele-conferences rather than board meetings; wash your hands...

    I've (re)discovered cola!

    If you have made a drink that tastes just like cola, why go to all the trouble and expense. Just have a cola! (sounds weird I guess but - I only like cola so I don't know why anyone would bother mixing alcohols together to get the same taste even if it's a fluke.)

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    This year though Talloola, you will have to get the regular shot along with the H1N1 when it becomes available and that will probably not be before November anyway. Like you, we usually try to wait until November for our shots but we get them done at the clinic our doctor works in so we go when...
