I wonder if anyone has a good hot & sour soup recipe.... I wonder if BMW knows that she really made me laugh and prompted a memory of me scaring my brother as he came out of our dark garage one night and he almost socked me! :D My mother hadn't taken the sheets off the line yet and I was standing inside the one hanging closest to the garage..must have looked like a ghost....:D I wonder if I will post "On Parenting" before I misplace it....:o I wonder why I can't "find" Michael's fiancee...I finally remembered her last name....maybe Google instead of Yahoo....:confused: I wonder if dreaming about her could be considered a nightmare...:eek: I wonder if being churned up accomplishes anything! |
Here you go. I'm still trying to find out what Tiger Lily Buds are, but hey, go for it!!
HOT & SOUR SOUP 25 tiger lily buds 4 c. tree ears (Chinese dried mushrooms) 3 fresh bean curds 1 tsp. salt 4 c. canned chicken broth plus 2 c. water 1 tbsp. soy sauce 1/2 c. julienne (pork or chicken) 1/4 tsp. black pepper 2 tbsp. cornstarch (mix with 1/4 c. water) 2 tbsp. white vinegar 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp. sesame oil 2 tsp. minced scallion 1/4 c. bamboo shoots (opt.) 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced (opt.) Soak the tiger lily buds and tree ears separately in hot water until soft. Cut tiger lily buds in half and break tree ears into strips. Slice bean curd 1/4 inch thick, then into 2 inch long strips. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt on curd and set aside. Add salt and soy sauce into chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add pork or chicken. When broth is boiling, add tiger lily and tree ears. Dry bean curd strips with a paper towel then add to the soup. Add bamboo shoots and sliced fresh mushrooms. Add pepper to make soup hot. Add vinegar to make soup sour. Bring slowly to a boil. Thicken soup with cornstarch mixture. When thick, remove from heat then pour beaten egg, stirring constantly. Stir in sesame oil and garnish with scallion. |
I wonder that you wonder if I grow anything besides sprouts. lol
I wonder that in the summertime, outside my front door I grew basil, and anything else that I can fit in the planter on the side of my house. Trouble is, people came and stolel the basil in the middle of the night. So now I buy dired Basil. I also wonder if it was the same person who went into my neighbor's garden, in the front of his house (he lives a few houses away from me ) and actually STOLE ONE OF HIS FIG TREES. My neighbor came out the next morning to go into his garden and shouted "Holy cow, someone stole my fig tree, who steals a fig tree??" |
I also wonder what Tiger Lily buds are...but thank you for the recipe!
I wonder why they call them tree ears??? I wonder that I had a whole bunch of sweet basil in my raised bed garden and hated to lose it to the frost... I wonder that I made pesto and froze it at Barbo's suggestion...yummy! I wonder how big the fig tree was????? I wonder that the dried mushrooms are soaking in beef broth and they smell wonderful.... |
" I wonder how big the fig tree was?????"
Not a big tree. He had just planted it. He had BIGGER trees next to it. I guess all she could pull out was the little fig tree. They had surveillance cameras trained on the front of his house (another neighbor has the camera). They viewed the film. It was a woman, so they just shrugged their shoulders and said "Maybe she likes figs??" lol |
My family all wondered when someone chopped down the Peach tree in the middle of a wide open lawn overlooking the Columbia River... woke up one day, it was gone... and the wondering began!
I wonder if you'd all like to know that I'm moving forward on some very interesting adventures... each of them are happening of their own accord as the healthy choices I am making are carefully thought out. I don't wonder that this is another opportunity to re-invent a part of my self :) I wonder at how amazing it was to watch Joel Burns speak on CNN today... what a superbly courageous man! An absolutely brilliant video worth the 12 minutes to hear... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax96cghOnY4 I wonder how Ducky is feeling ... I know she's been doing some good cooking! I wonder how the Doody-family is doing... health wise, the little ones sure get a lot of colds, eh?! I wonder how Koala and Lara are enjoying their spring... ttfn... Addy |
I wonder that Melody that seems to happen ALL the time down here in my area of the state :( even in the gated communities and in front of hotels and also inside condos check in areas and "club houses".
Wonder that yup big clay potted trees, statues, digging up freshly planted bushes and trees. Wonder that they must go and resell them in another neighborhood or maybe even flea market. wonder maybe if it is landscapers. Wonder that my friend had her big potted palm tree swiped from her front patio about 6 months ago..wonder that she put up sign in front yards by street saying "Someone took my big palm tree and flower pot .I dont know who But GOD dose" . 3 days later the sign was taken. :confused: My sprouting wonder for the day... wonder that my ruby red grapefruit tree has sprouted some yummy look baby g-fruits, Wonder that they only get sweet if we get a few days of cold winter weather. Wonder how Lonely :hug:is doing this Friday and Addy... also wonder how Smae is doing and Pooh .. I wonder on so many here that are on the sidelines right now :grouphug: wonder that i have too many errands to run but wanna leave hugs to the broom as Moi would say... miss the mois :hug: PEACE BMW ha Addy posted while I was typing hi Addy |

I wonder at how surprised so many are at the though of sprouts.
I wonder that back in the good ole days (vegetarian/hippie days) I sprouted all the time. They really are wonderful on just about anything! Taste very fresh, like eating a salad, and they are FULL of good stuff for your body. I wonder at how beautiful the weather has been, wow! But the weather lady yesterday said, "If you haven't gotten your outdoor work done, you better do it this week!" Hmmmm. Me thinks it will be getting colder and I've been putting off several things that need to be done outside. I wonder that I miss BJ as well, and Nikki too. :hug: I wonder that I think of sweet Dottie everytime I use my wonderful angel blankie, which is often and which will again be used tonight! :hug: I wonder how glad I am to hear about Addy's positive happenings. :hug: I wonder how I wish I were sitting in Ms. Alffe's kitchen watching her buzz about, cooking that wonderful food she cooks. :hug: I wonder if you'd like to see some recent pictures of my daughter and grandson. Daughter went horseback riding with friends this last weekend. (We used to have a horse when she was younger, and she is an excellent rider.) And grandson at his first college football game! He's so darned cute. I wonder how much I've always enjoyed Ms. Melody's posts. :hug: I wonder how dear Ducky is today, and Miss Vicky. :hug: I wonder about a lot of us. Hugs and much love to the room. |
I wonder if Doody knows that I love the kids haircut!! too cute...:hug:
I wonder if Doody has ck'd her emails....:o:confused::D I wonder if I can thank Ms Doody for the nice things she says to me..I love you....:hug: I wonder what I am supposed to do with all the leaves and branches that fall in our yard...The county doesn't pick up leaves anymore and now the trash people are saying they will not take any leaves, brush, sticks or limbs that are longer than 3 feet! And we can't burn!! :mad: :mad: I wonder if I can thank Addy for the link about bullying...I hope everyone watched it.... I also miss BJ and wonder about her...Nikki I get to "see" on FB. :winky: I wonder about waves and if she could use a hug....:hug: I wonder if Bizi could use one also....:hug: |
I wonder if you would all enjoy being introduced to BABE. My friend's dog had been ill, had an operation some days ago, and came back today. Of course I went to visit him.
Had to use my new Flip. I zoomed in, that's why it's a bit grainy, (I'm still learning how to use this Flip) but you can see Babe in all his glory, and he actually got off of his sick bed and walked over to greet me. Got it all on tape. Here you go!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QCSyyRIq14 Melody |
I wonder at how cool it is to hear Melody's voice... and accent ;)
I wonder if all our wonder-ers are out wonder-ing in our wonder-ful world! |

I wonder if my darn charger will let itself be charged today?
I wonder if my friend Mark is ok as he has been MIA for several days now I wonder if I have ever felt so supported and cared for in any other sites I have been a member of (the answer would be no since SHN days) I wonder if my @$#%& brother in law will bring my niece back tonight as promised or if we will be deprived of her for weeks again:mad: I wonder if I will get to be a grandmother in the next year or so I wonder if my co-workers appreciate how hard I am working to make all of their jobs easier by picking up so many extra shifts and so much overtime that my body is telling me it does not care for I wonder how smae, bmw and the rest of you are doing this day? :hug:z |
I wonder that I had to giggle at the "sprouting" wonder.... I must explain... as I don't sleep much I have found myself watching the children's channel---Sprout tv.... now I know my ABC's...
I wonder why they call it the winner's circle when it never is a circle. I wonder why they keep replaying old movies that have been on tv a hundred times.... when there are newer and better movies available. I wonder if the #18 M&M's car (Nascar) get's hit... does chocolate melt onto the track??? I wonder why popcorn growing in the fields doesn't pop on hot days??? I wonder how fast the BIG wind turbines spin in a wind storm??? Let me tell you...them things are BIGGER than they appear!!!! I wonder that my niece will share my chocolate...but won't share her chocolate with me???? I wonder that I always have a camera with me...but I never remember to take any pictures. Time to wander away... my brain is numb.:D |
I wonder when this will end.. I don't have the words so I will copy from my facebook status: "The pain is way too much to handle today.. will probably be sleeping most of the day away.. don't want to eat, don't want to read, don't want to talk, don't want to do anything but sleep until the pain stops.."
I wonder how messed up my sleep will be since I rested all afternoon and slept from about 1-2 and then again from about 4:45-7:10. I hurt. And there's no wonder in that statement. :( |
I wonder if I can give smae a gentle hug without any pain...:hug: (I wonder that I like your avatar!)
I wonder that the sun is shining again today! I wonder how long our world will exploit the Chilean miners... likely this will change as the media finds something else to sensationalize..... I wonder at how much I dislike campaign commercials... I can't think of any more wonders... well, actually I can... but its just not something I feel like doing right now... so ttfn.... :BeamUp: |

I wonder if Ms. Smae could use a gentle hug :hug: and to hear I'm so sorry you're having so much pain. Of course you want to just rest when you are feeling that way. Much love to you ((((smae)))) I wonder if I can LOL at Abby? LOL! Too cute. I'm glad you've learned your ABC's. You had some very fun wonders and yes, aren't those wind thingies HUGE! I saw one being moved to it's location, in parts of course, and holy cow!!!! They are ginormous! :hug: I wonder that I hope Ms. Poo does get to be a grandma soon...it's wonderful. :hug: I wonder at how much fun I had at the pumpkin farm yesterday with my grandson Oscar and my folks went with. They did pretty darned well for being 89 and 85! This farm is huge with all kinds of fun things for kids to do, games and such. We loved the hayride. Beautiful Iowa country with rolling hills, woods and such. They have huge pumpkin fields and apple orchards where you can pick your own. But they also sell them in their one barn with tons of other good stuff! (Had to get my vidalia onion salad dressing, yum!) It's outside of Center Grove, IA. http://www.centergroveorchard.com/ I wonder, however, that the first thing I had to do when we got home was SOAK in a hot tub! Oi vey my legs ached. Oscar and I went down their huge slide which goes down a great big hill. That was the easy part. The hard part was walking back UP the hill a zillion times! "Let's go again Grandma!!!" I wonder that I bought wheel covers for my tires today and put them on all by myself! Didn't we used to call those hub caps at one time? :rolleyes: Much love and hugs for the room. |

I wonder if Mark ever showed up......:confused: I wonder if smae feels any relief today... I wonder how the changing weather affects all of our pains...:grouphug: |
I also wonder if I could send Smae a gentle hug :hug:
I wonder that this morning I am making my first movie using my Flip. I recorded everything I did (going to my local breakfast cafe). Everyone seemed to enjoy being recorded. And now I'm learning how to edit, how to string videos together, etc. I wonder why I never learned to do this before, but I'm grateful that my brain is still functioning at my age, so I can learn new things. So I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Oh, about the Sprout tv, you'll all enjoy this. I was on the computer some time ago, checking out Directv (I have this), and I noticed as I was scrolling through the channel information, I happened upon a SPROUT TV channel. Well, I got so excited. I called Alan over to the computer and announced "Alan, Alan, they have a channel just for sprouting" Alan says "I guarantee you they do NOT have a sprouting channel". I said "Oh yeah, look at this" And all we saw was the word SPROUT. He said "Well, I wonder" So I looked up the information and my face fell. It's a kiddie channel. Nothing about sprouts. But I did find Planet Green. lol melody |
I wonder if I should even tell Melody that I was cracking up reading her story as I saw the outcome from the start--and I didn't know there was a kid's channel called Sprout.
I wonder if Melody could start her OWN channel and fill it with sprouts--the real kinds, I mean... Like youtube videos 24/7! I wonder if I can give everyone huge (but gentle in case others are hurting as well) hugs, especially those who have thought and wondered about me. I am still hurting badly and only getting 2-4 hours of sleep a night.. so I am really struggling right now. I wonder if things will get better before my SCS trial next week.. I feel like I'm falling apart and something like that does not seem like a good idea when I feel this 'unstable'... That probably sounds worse than I mean it to... I just am exhausted and worn out and am struggling just to deal with this pain.. so to deal with all of that worries me a bit. I wonder when I am ever going to find the time and energy to reply to all of the messages I have on NT as well as all the Facebook messages and e-mails... I don't want anyone to think I don't care, but man.. I can hardly stand 5 minutes at the computer right now. I wonder how my mom's first session of group therapy is going... 3 nights a week (Mon-Wed) for 3 hours... I wonder how I will ever find the treatment I need when the only doctor who is specialized enough in all of the states surrounding SD.. is the one place I refuse to go to be treated. Ugh. I wonder how many days I will spend with headaches from hours of searching and no positive results. |
I wonder if Melody knows that i do NOT know where she lives but i can make a good guess because yes you DO have an accent LOLOL ;)

Today was my annual eye exam at my opthomologist. Been seeing him since I was in my mid 50's I'll be 63 in a few weeks. About 3 years ago, I saw lightening flashes in front of my eyes so I went to see him and he did the dilating of the eyes and took pictures of the back of my eyes and said "Aha, you have tiny hemorrhages, that's why you see those lightening flashes. That was all he had to tell me. I became obsessed with controlling my blood sugar, etc. etc. etc. So, after that, he would tell me 'good job, good job, no bleeding, etc. Last year when he did the pictures, etc, he asked me "how long are you a diabetic?" and I said "22 years" and he said "I would never know it, your eyes are fine, keep up the good work". That was last year. So Melody walks into his office today and here is word for word the opening dialogue of what happened. He walks in, smiled, I say "Hey there, how are you doing?" He takes one look at me and says "Are you still a diabetic"?. (Now I never expected that to be his opening line, so I just looked at him". He again said 'So, are you still a diabetic"? I then said "What?? why wouldn't I still be a diabetic?" He then goes "What operation did you have?" I looked at him and tried to think of my last operation and I said 'Well, I had gallbladder surgery over 10 years ago" and he said "no, what operation did you have?" I'm looking at him and I have no idea what he's talking about. I'm thinking "Well, like I just said, I had the gallbladder surgery and I had a caesarian operation 30 years ago" Again, he said "NO, WHAT KIND OF GASTRIC OPERATION DID YOU HAVE?" I looked at him STILL NOT GETTING IT, and I said "What on earth are you talking about?" He says to me "To lose the weight, what operation did you have?" I looked at him and said "You think I had an operation?" He says: "Didn't you have gastric bypass?" I said "Why on earth would I have Gastric Bypass?" and he said: "Because you're half the size". I then burst out laughing and I said: "Really??" and he says Stand Up, and I'm turning this way and that and I'm going 'I really am half the size"?? And he goes "You can't tell me that you did this by diet alone" And I said "Not only did I do this by diet alone, I grow my own food" He goes: "You grow what??" I said "I sprout" He said; "what the h is a sprout?" I never laughed so hard in all my life. I like this guy, he's a specialist in diabetic retinopathy and I was looking at the photos of my eye, up on the screen and he says "you are perfectly fine, and whatever you are doing, keep doing it, I'll see you next year" To say I waltzed out of there is putting in mildly. So I shall continue to sprout. Sproutingly yours, Melody lol |
i wonder if i can thank Melody too for her sprout story today. At first i was confused and wondering what the hub-bub was over these sprouts, especially since i definitely don't like to eat bean sprouts.
i wonder if i'll ever sprout - did i use that correctly? i wonder if i can say im in a bad mood tonight. i wonder if anyone else notices mood changes in themselves. i wonder if i can also say... i finally made an appt to see someone next week. we played phone tag last week and i called each other 10 times before we finally could pick up and speak to one another. i wonder if i can also say that i am looking forward to it since i had a rough family-induced weekend filled with lots of family gatherings, always bringing up dysfunctional thoughts and feelings. i wonder if anyone else has dysfunctional families?? i wonder about Michael's fiancee tooo --- never knew he had one. i wonder if playing with puppies will always make me happy, even if they arent mine. i wonder where i'll live next year. |
I wonder if you know that there are MANY kinds of sprouts other than bean sprouts (which I happen to love because I grow them too).
I wonder who doesn't have a dysfunctional family. I have NEVER met anyone who didn't have family problems. In this crazy world we now live in I don't think function exists. We have to make the best with what we have. I had a very very wise friend over 35 years ago. Her name was Bernice. We used to ride the bus to work every single morning. She was older than all of us. We were in our early 20's or so and she was 42. I will never forget her words. She came from (her words) a very dysfunctional family. I remember asking her "what do you do when you are with your family?' She said "I don't associate with them, they are toxic for my health" Now imagine being a 20 something and an older woman tells you this and you do not know what the heck she is talking about. I remember saying 'What do you mean you don't have anything to do with your family, they are your family, of course you have to see them" She replied: "WHY?" where is it written that we have to associate with people who are bad for us, who hurt us, who abuse us"? I remember those words and I've applied them. Whenever someone tells me "My mother abuses me, my son punches me, etc. etc. I always say "Well, you can always DO A BERNICE. That's what I call it. Doing a Bernice. So when it's an option and you are really having a hard time hanging with toxic people, then for your own sanity. Do a Bernice!!! Not easy, I know, but in the long run, you just might save your mind. Take care Melody |
