Mom used to be a Natasha, which can be crazy-making, but now that she's reached 80 she seems satisfied with Sophie-dom!<br /><br />BTW, I've tried several of Krista's recipes, the latest being the Chicken Monster Fingers, (from The Diva Haunts the House & also on her blog at MLK) and they were absolutely delicious!Lynn in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624333137637840905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-17701785654707238002011-11-10T16:18:18.760-05:002011-11-10T16:18:18.760-05:00I got stuck on the first question.
