been under the dining room table. <G>

Jill's soup recipe calls for two large butternut squashes, to total 4
pounds.

I just weighed these puppies. They're 5 pounds each! I live in the
land of Paul Bunyan, ya know? These were locally grown.

The large ones I bought at the grocery store later were 4 pounds and
3-1/2 pounds. I can make four batches of squash soup with what I have
on hand. Gotta get more freezer containers. LOL!

Gotta go take my blue ox for a walk.

.... when I was at the grocery store last week a woman in line ahead of me
had butternut squashes that were the size of small cukes. Oh dear, how sad


Dinner tonight is country fried steak with cream gravy, mashed potatoes and
steamed sliced rounds of zucchini.

This reminded me of something that has absolutely nothing to do with
cooking. Ya know, when I had my mastectomies, I opted out of the
tattoo and stuff to make them look more real. We're going to check out
the tattoo shop in town and see what it would cost to have water
faucets tattooed where the nipples would have been, labeled HOT and
COLD.

Yeah, Crash and I are weird, but I think that would be fun!

I like your sense of humor. Warped, but cool.

Nowadays they are offering immediate reconstruction on mastectomy with
implants.

It could probably still be done by a skilled plastic surgeon if you
want, and insurance generally covers it in these cases.

Yeah, I've got the implants (a very bad hack job). I just didn't want
the tattooed areolas or however you spell it. I was also offered
nipples, but didn't want that. I've spent my life trying to hide those
damned things. Now I don't have to. <G>

I sure wish I'd had a skilled plastic surgeon when the work was done.
I think it's too late to have insurance fix what she did to me.

That's the good thing. I have essentially no feeling in my falsies.
And on my sides and parts of my back. When I came home from the
hospital, our lab jumped on me, and I didn't feel a thing.

Nice! Butternuts are quite large here this year too. I bought one
yesterday so just had to weigh and measure it after your post. This one
is almost 15" tall and weighs just under 6 lb.

Last night's curried squash soup turned DH off of squash soup so I'm not
sure what I will make with mine yet. I'm picking up more squash
tomorrow so I'll likely freeze most of it except the spaghetti squash.
Good luck with your soup.

I'm not fond of curried soup either... why don't you feed him Jill's

It's been 10 years and still looks good. :-)
I've no regrets.

Of all the makeup to put on, IMHO eyeliner makes the most difference
in how "tired" I look. It's nice to have it always there...

She also does lip liner, but I've not done that yet.

Um.... try temporary tatoos first. You know, one day you might look down
and realize you didn't want faucets But if you do go with the tats, how
about those old fashioned 4 handle faucet thingeys?

Heh, that's what I have in my bathroom ... Carol could get those little
ceramic H and C things implanted for a realistic effect. Only question
remains, brass or chrome?

I'm thinking I will try Jill's soup. Maybe he will give it a try after
I convince him there is no curry in it. IMO the meal she served was
wonderful with the exception of the soup. From the veiled looks of
others it was easy to see they were quietly choking it down. That's the
problem with being a house guest. If it were a restaurant, I would eat
what I felt like and leave the rest behind but as a house guest I feel
uncomfortable not finishing something for fear of insulting the host.

It sure does! Have you ever used retin-A? The first week or so is
brutal. And don't get me started on laser treatment. The pamphlet says
it will feel like a slight snap of a small elastic. That is total and
utter BS! Oh and the conveniently leave out the part that your skin
continues to heat up afterwards and you will walk around for a couple of
days feeling like you have a sever sunburn kicking yourself for actually
paying for the pain!

OM, is this a permanet tatoo on your eyes? If so, how long did it take
and what would you rate it as in the pain factor? Did you do both upper
& lower lids?

Yes, like I said, the tattoo is 10 years old now (slightly older
actually) and still looks great!

Actual tattoo time was maybe 30 minutes, but she took 2 hours. ;-) She
had me raise my hand when I could not take the pain anymore, then I'd go
to the bathroom and wipe the ink out of my eyes, then take a deep breath
and go again when I was ready. <G>

Jan has IMMENSE patience and specializes in cosmetic tattoos. Cost me
$250.00 for both eyes, upper and lower. The line is thin, dark brown and
IN the actual lash line so it's not really obvious like Michael
Jackson's is. It looks pretty natural.

Pain-wise? I guess that depends on your pain tolerance. Mine is pretty
high.

It's FAR cheaper than a plastic surgeon would charge, and I got
references. She discards her needles and has an in-office autoclave at
the tattoo studio for the equipment. She also uses small, brand new
little pots of ink. Discards them after use.

Cheers!

Actually the chest area is probably least sensitive to pain... I have
many tats, a huge one on my chest of tall ships, yes shipS, an entire
fleet in full sail, water, lighthouse, clouds, birds, and fancy
banners. There are many more body parts where tats are far more
painful.

That said, and from vast up close and personal experience, I'd not
recommend tattooed facial cosmetics, especially not about the eyes,
unless in about twenty years you won't mind having ancient Batty Davis
eyes.

I have a tat around my left arm, just a tribal pattern, but when the artist
went to the inside of the arm, I felt a stabbing in my armpit. Weird. Must
have been a nerve or something. I've wanted a petroglyph of a hawaiian
turtle (honu) on my ankle for ages, but I hear that's a soft spot, too.
Thing is, it only hurts while the artist is doing it and the pain goes away
the second the needle goes away. After that, it's only the care of the tat
for the next week or two that's a PITA. I hear the head, the neck and the
lower back are quite painful as well. Anywhere near the bone.

Sheldon, kudos for you to get a tat on the chest. That couldn't have felt
really good.

That reminds me, some time in the distant past, some comedienne
got a tattoo, she said she's afraid if she lost weight, it would wind up
looking like a raisin. Made me laugh.

If I was going to get eyeliner tattooed, I'd choose a grey.
That might age well ... but then I like grey eyeliner anyway.

Mine is a dark brown. It matches the color of my eyelashes pretty
closely.
