I moved closer to work and lost USENET access, and was horrendously busy
with commuting (before I moved), moving (when I moved), getting a house
on the market, working, and (my part-time, unpaid p.m. job)
homeschooling. I love homeschooing, but at kiddo's age, it is a full
three hours/7days for me, either sitdown work, researching, or
self-educating to be prepared. But, I can now diagram a sentence, add
long columns of numbers in my head, and speak intelligently on Oliver
Cromwell.
Now I'm studying for the Board re-cert, so I have committed my self to
12 or 13 hours most days of work, schooling, study. It takes the sting
out of death.

In stir fry, I might add a little liquid to keep it from sticking, but
not enough for a good 2 minutes of simmering to soften the chunks of
carrot, etc.
