Dinner time, Come and Get It

To take my mind off my pain, I made my family's favorite meatloaf and tried a new potato recipe. It is called "Au Gratin Potatoes". From the "ooohhs" and "ahhs" I heard from the dinner table, I take it they are very good. My daughter even asked for seconds, which is not usual for her.

I love gratin potatoes. It's been too long since I've made them - I'd better do something about that soon.

Your dentist post was horrific. I hope the pain and the memories are fading. Got a feeling the memories might take a little longer.

Which reminds me... Patience! What wound would ever heal but by degrees. (Don't hit me!)
