The skin slips right off when they defrost. Hint #2: throw your basil and stuff into the blender with pine nuts or cashew nuts, and a ton of olive oil. Hey presto, PESTO! Add parmesan cheese to serve. This keeps forever, because of all the olive oil. Political topic please: breastfeeding and working mothers!

So folks, substitute a boat load of fresh tomatoes for the canned tomatoes above. Cook it all day. I did this the other day, and when I went to freeze it, realized we still had a bunch from last summer!

Politics are only tough to write about if you don’t want to bore the heck out of people. (ha) I think it’s good to hear more women speak out and write about politics. Maybe someone will listen now to what we’re asking for.

You try that recipe, you will never go back to another. I love Netflix! (No, this is not an ad — I pay 16 bucks a month for it.) Have you tried the movies on demand? They download to your computer, it’s pretty cool.

Everyone,
What do you think are the most important topics for women (and men) to focus on now, politically?

Sometimes I can't remember what the last non-kid movies was I saw in the theaters. And with the age range of our kids, sometimes I don't even see the kid movies either. Thank goodness for netflix :) That sauce looks great.
