OMG! It's been sooooo long, Wayne. I thought about writing to
you, but a) didn't want to disturb your privacy, and b) didn't
know whether your email address had changed.

Now I'm gonna have to do a happy dance!!!!!

Oh, my email DID appear. Forget what I said about that. And
okay, I will do so when the mood strikes.

I am glad you are enjoying your new surroundings, even if they are
not your ultimate abode. I hope the cats will continue to be
happy when you move again.

You didn't hear my cat saga. I was very concerned with Ming, who
had developed persistent pee issues. I did NOT want him peeing in
the new house, which had had MUCH work done on it prior to our
move. I put him in the upstairs bathroom, which I totally
catproofed, hoping he would start using his litter box again but
fearing he wouldn't and not knowing what on earth I would do. (I
love him!) BUT he actually started using his box again. Pshew!!!!!

Hi. I was looking for a pudding recipe and found this thread. My late grandma used to make this recipe out of breads that were not consumed for a week so this is one way of customizing breads or should I call it- recycling of bread. Bananas and ripe mangoes can also be used for pudding btw. Thanks for sharing.
