I was thinking about you last night, wondering how your trip went. :D<BR>Our humidity will soon be approaching 90% (today's high: 87-F, with a "real feel" of 97-F). We run the dehumidifier every day, but I still feel damp... it's icky. <BR>Wal*Mart, seriously? That's crazy! (I hadn't braced myself quite well enough.)<BR>Hope you bought some allergy meds - we're all itchy throated, sniffling, and coughing here, too.kcinnova2009-06-08T18:18:21Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/06/07/back-from-mexico.aspx#comment-2148088pictures!!!!gary2009-06-08T10:23:58Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/06/07/back-from-mexico.aspx#comment-2147448Welcome home, travelers!! I am so glad to hear that your trip went so well...minus humidity, allergies and touch of something. Cannot wait to see the pictures!!<BR>XOXOXOXOXCate2009-06-08T03:47:50Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/30/chatty-goes-southand-eastto-the-yucatan-peninsula.aspx#comment-2129211Well, with a name like "The Wiz" I suppose that *might* raise a flag... [smile]<br>Good for you, not freaking out! Well, not too much. Leave the cute jeweled sandals at home, you probably need the room in your suitcase. And I think The Wiz might be related to SuperDad. They both know how to make footwear last a really long time!<br>Hope your trip is wonderful!kcinnova2009-06-01T10:24:57Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/28/can-coughing-get-chatty-incarcerated.aspx#comment-2123974Hey, the flu looks and sounds different than an allergy attack. After all the ocean breezes, on your vacation your allergies should clear up and you will have a safe flight home. As for the trip down there--all the folks that think you have the flu will sit far away from you and you have just created your own isolation zone-smart Chatty!Pat2009-05-29T18:01:15Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/28/can-coughing-get-chatty-incarcerated.aspx#comment-2121213My 2 oldest boys have clearly had allergy coughs and sneezes lately. Boy #3 is possibly allergies or possibly just a cold (but I'm voting allergies at this point). I've been pretty healthy, as has SuperDad.<BR>Boy #4 set me in a panic: 24 hours after his daddy removed a tick from SnakeMaster's armpit, he had a fever and a sore throat! Not just any tick, but a deer tick that had probably been there for 24 hours. I call the pediatrician but the receptionist told me that unless he gets a rash and other symptoms, they don't treat with antibiotics. I'm trying to remain calm.<BR> <BR>Which is exactly what Chatty should do: dose up on the allergy meds and remain calm! <BR>I hope you enjoy your trip!kcinnova2009-05-28T20:24:39Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/28/can-coughing-get-chatty-incarcerated.aspx#comment-2120602CHATTY oh no!gary2009-05-28T15:04:43Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/22/packing-chattystyle.aspx#comment-2119579Wow! You want to pack for ME when I leave town? Hehe.Tink2009-05-28T03:35:08Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/25/too-many-tortillas-is-just-enough.aspx#comment-2115586I like to do something like this too--layers of tortillas and whatever happens to be handy and it is WICKED good. Tortilla surprise!gary2009-05-26T23:52:59Zhttp://blog.chattycraftycook.com/2009/05/25/too-many-tortillas-is-just-enough.aspx#comment-2112917Hmmm, and I love to make new meals from left-overs.<BR> <BR>Though, if you separate fresh tortillas and wrap them well (like saran or better press &amp; seal) and then store them in a ziplock bag (air removed) -- you'll always have fresh tortillas 'meal sized' as needed.<BR> <BR>I'm big on freezing. <BR> <BR>Or, you could freeze the rest, and defrost as you want to make your chiliquiles! :-)<BR> <BR>Have a great trip!!!Farmers Wife 2009-05-26T04:18:36Z
