update: Hi Denise

[Guest guest]

That's a wonderful update and I know how excited you are feeling movement. I know there's a big smile on your face today! My nephew called a few minutes ago to say their second child will be a girl. They have a boy!!!

At work and my desk is a HUGE mess. This is a fast one right now.

I made myself a note and I'll toss some achiote in the mail real soon. It's dirt cheap at the mercado down the street. I love to mix achiote with lime juice, one clove of crushed garlic, and marinade tofu steaks and toss on the grill or in the skillet.

I would love to get some achiote. Is it pretty cheap there?In regards to my pregnancy, I'm now 16 weeks along. I had kind of losttrack of time because for the past few weeks I haven't felt pregnantat all! Saw our midwife last Wednesday and all my stats are perfect.She does have a concern of me not getting enough protein and basing ittoo much on soy. She says that since we don't know the sex of the babyeating too much soy could be harmful if it's a boy. So, I'm continuingwith my food diary which I started when I found out.I'm still eating lots of fruit and still finding it difficult to eatlots of veggies, which is exact opposite of how I used to eat. Jamesmade some stuffed anaheim peppers for his party and I made pesto. Wehad a lovely intimate crowd and lots of food and a few kids. Jamesalso made some molasses bread on Sunday

and I'm munching away on thatat work today.I did find all vegetarian vitamins athttp://www.vegetarianvitamin.com/index.html . They had good pricesand very well documented ingredients. I'll let you know how quickly myorder comes.Oh, and I did experience something exciting! I was lying in bedSaturday morning, crawling back in after walking the animals aroundthe property. I was petting my cat when I felt this strange flutter inmy stomach. My reflex was to actually look at my stomach because theway it felt I thought my tummy was moving around. I think I felt thebaby for the first time!Denise , purplepassion<thelilacflower> wrote:> Hi Denise,> I'm so happy to see you here. Enjoy yourself with us.> This recipe sounds wonderful.
