I was pleasantly surprised to find three chapters of "Hell yeah it hurt" on the front page for daily voting.It has done far better than I would have ever thought it would have.Chapter one is now past 1900 hits and the other chapters have done good as well.I would also like to thank all those who read and commented on "It worked out for the best" I was afraid of how it would be recieved and if ma

Gabi we use a medium to large ham, turnips, cabbage, onions, carrots,potatoes and parsnips.Boil it all together in a large pot then serve it with white or cider vinegar on the side for use on the veggies.Is there something similiar to this served there?Here is a wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_boiled_dinner

Due to moving I've been away for a while.It will take me a little while to get established and caught up on reading.As soon as that happens I'll start writing and posting more of "hell yeah it hurt".Has everyone gone back to not using the chatrooms?Amy
