Yes, please send me your rib recipe. We actually decided to let him have wheat again and the first 3 days were symptom-free...and then it was right back to the bad stuff. Tons of post-nasal drip, coughing, etc.So he's back off as of today to see if it is indeed the wheat or just seasonal allergy upswing. Sigh. Thanks for all your help!!!

All but two of their sauces have wheat, their seasoning has wheat, and their "naked" ribs are still grilled right along with all the others. I know this because Famous Dave's ribs are, hands down, my favorite ribs in the world... and I can't have them anymore. =( I have a great baked/broiled ribs recipe that I can send you (with LOTS of garlic, if he likes that).

We have two panels of their light blocking, heat-saving curtains in the entryway between the porch and our living room, and I love them! So no hating on the Ikea curtains from me! They look great!

I updated it. That's the only bad thing about doing this at the end of the year; it's hard to remember everything that happened. I couldn't remember what I did for my birthday, either. I love the Blendtec. It's $$, but we burned through three blenders in 5 years so I figured it was worth a shot. Yes, do this on LJ! Can't wait. Haha, sorry Gen. I updated it.

Anyone else? ;) 11. I was going to ask if it was a vitamix, but I saw later it was a blendtec. I LOVE their "will it blend" videos. If it's not a health risk after the fact (meaning, if it will totally wash out), my homeschooler challenge to the N's will be to make a lantern with glow sticks =) 13. *slow clap* 30. youngun =) 36. I've been meaning to ask you if she decided to move out or with you. I bet you miss her! 39, etc. I'm sure I've heard it - I listen to KLOVE all the time... I just can't place it. I'll have to pay closer attention. Love you, Jenn! Happy New Year! I love when you do these – I’ll need to copy it over to LJ and do it in the next few days.

I like it! I have to admit, I looked at her blog post first before your pics and thought, "EW! I liked the low stuff much better!" But I think it looks really nice in your pics - especially encasing it in the open floor plan thing. That's how our second house in OR was, and while I loved it, I used to think "how in the world would we paint this if it weren't rental white - it's all continuous wall! Very nice! I like it!
