. . . q&a . . .

. . . because enquiring minds want to know . . .

. . . dear bobbi: please!

NEVER use mayo and salad dressing

in the same question . . .

. . . also ~ please! NEVER use salad dressing {at all} . . .

. . . and only use best foods real mayonnaise . . .

{apologies to vicki ~ mayo was put on the earth to torture her}

. . . dear kristen: kosher salt is delightful . . .

. . . it is less salty than table salt . . .

. . . it comes in little flake-like pieces . . .

. . . i keep some in a little pinch pot on my stove . . .

. . . i feel super fancy/gourmet-ish

when i sprinkle it in my cooking . . .

. . . you can find it {usually} in the baking aisle ~

near the regular salt and ice cream/rock salt . . .

. . . try it . . .

. . . dear angie: {as i answered earlier in a comment} . . .

. . . it's a good thing we named her

amanda "joan" after mom romney . . .

. . . they are practically clones . . .

. . . and amelia "nathel" looks exactly like my mom . . .

. . . we were smart baby namers . . .

. . . thanks for noticing . . .

. . . dear bobbi: {again, as i answered earlier} . . .

. . . a z-pak is the antibiotic i was on for bronchitis . . .

. . . it has nothing to do with the fact that

my feet are large and wide! . . .

. . . dear amanda: sorry, but no . . .

. . . this goes along with my inability to

"give you {or anyone else!} a piece of my mind" . . .

. . . i have none to spare! . . .

. . . dear amber: you are my daughter . . .

. . . you should be well aware of the fact

that NOW would be way too early

to get ready for the holidays . . .

. . . what fun would christmas be

without the panic/stress/last minute rush? . . .

. . . oh, no. these are late birthday gifts . . .

. . . dear kim: apparently baby girls wear camo, too . . .

. . . i know! i couldn't believe it, either . . .

. . . yes, i fill special orders all the time . . .

. . . that's what these were . . .

. . . questions? . . .

. . . feel free to ask . . .
