     The new Furby has digital eyes and interacts with an iphone app. You can make a sandwich for him, and you throw it to him from your iphone. I  tried to feed it, and it seemed like it was eating, but the app kept saying I missed.

    I finally have some money cause I just got paid. My check, which was mailed the 29th, got lost and took a trip through mystery mail land. I had it cancelled, and it showed up the 10th. The replacement check, mailed the 9th, showed up today. So, for all that time, I was without my paycheck. I thought I had less money in my account than I did actually. Either way, I wasn't buying anything except with the bit of cash I had (and I had to pay for my car inspection on my credit card). It also was part of the inspiration for cooking using only what is in the house, or with minimal purchases. I did the chilli the other day, and today I am making matzo ball soup. The only thing bought for that was some matzo meal, just because we know we want a bit more in than what we got from the one small box of matzo ball mix. My friend asked me to make this. Once a week, we cook stuff and get together. We were trying to cut down on the amount of money we spend eating out.

    I know that chicken story will be the best laugh of my day.  Too funny!  You wonder what's going on in that chicken's head and why she chose that guy's trash can as her daily spot?!

    I'm so hungry right now that reading about your chili and matzo ball soup, Jen, isn't helping.  It's so cold in my office that either one would be a warm, welcome treat!  I guess I'll just dig into my turkey sandwich a little early. 

    Ginger, if I lived closer, I'd buy some of that apple butter and chutney from you . . . I bet they're delicious!!

    Julie, that chicken and egg story is priceless!  Smart chicken has trained that guy well. :)

    Got the Trader Joe's *Fearless Flyer* in the mail today.  OMG - they've got pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin soup, pumpkin yogurt and pumpkin swirl whipped cream cheese.  Must.get.there.soon.

    All day long it has looked like a rain storm was on the way and then I heard the 7 day forecast at noon ... mid to high 80s over the next week and at least one day of 90. That's at least 20 degrees higher than I think it should be for mid October, but I suppose it's better than the 100+ we had at the beginning of the month.

    Tracy, had I read earlier, I would have told you that I made home made noodles for the matzo ball soup. I've got plenty of leftovers. Come on over. I'm going to make mashed potatoes tomorrow to eat the leftovers with. Yeah, soup in top of mashed potatoes= yes. I don't cook much, but when I do, I make only the best. I need to figure out what ranch style beans are so I can make Dr. Pepper Taco Soup.
