Appoint someone to make a chart of where the Easter eggs are hidden. Trust me, you don't want to find one in the broiler six months later.

The previous owners of our house used to hide plastic Easter-egg shells in the yard, each with a quarter in them.

We bought the house in August 2000. We found two eggs last week.

Soak wilted lettuces for 15 minutes in warm water, drain and chill in fridge. That will crip it up very nicely. Worked great on a head of 9 day old romaine which was not bagged and pretty sad last night.

Yeah...haven't heard anything from Rich yet. Maybe we'll get lucky when he's 15% retired and he'll have more time to discuss the really important issues....

 

[Rich_by_the_Bay]

Alright you two. Unfortunately I am honor-bound by the Hippocratic Oath not to discuss his any farther (someone could get hurt ):

I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement: To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him...I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone....But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
...
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

2nd century AD Roman statue of Apollo depicting the god's attributes—the lyre and the snake Python

He's got some prominent attributes, all right.
Apollo is a very distant relative of mine, so I really shouldn't leer.
