Is Ken amongst them too, Jeni?

Challenge is part of the reason why I do it. Also the reason why I work in pastries. But sometimes the puzzles get too challenging. If I can complete (or even get 50%) of a Friday NY Times crossword, I become rather pleased. (...)My friends like to have me around to answer all the food-related questions.

Pastries is my favorite too! Also for the challenge.

My friends also rely on me for all the food-related questions in any puzzle or trivia!

Jeni...I collect(ed) Barbie Dolls too...have tons...but ran out of room, they're all safely put away in the attic now (boxes not opened...), was hoping my little sister would someday have a little girl so I can pass them on...<still waiting!>

I love the feel of dirt under my nails..

Like cooking,I find the most pleasure from gardening. It is another way for me to nurture,and to see ,taste and smell the fruits of your labors is to me very gratifying.

Ooooo, Momoreg! You go to belly dance classes? I am insane about belly dancing! It's something I'd always wanted to get into but never found the time. Don't think I could bend at the knees now the way it requires.

Since we are now referring to this forum as 'soul enrichment' I have to say that I write a whole lot more poetry than I play my musical instruments.

I love to garden. I have a container garden. Can't believe all you can grow out of a flower box and a few large pots.

Since I had to give up sports, I wanted to do a manual activitiy. A few years ago I discovered appliqué. There is nothing like needle work to take your mind off things.

To all you chef/gardeners out there, I'm digging it, too. LOL, Momoreg! Whatcha got growing? Since I started cooking professionally, I haven't spent much time in the garden. But I have the time now as I quit my job last week. The only thing that has survived is the rosemary. I'm going to plant roses so that I can have organic roses to use in one of my desserts.

Kimmie, no Ken or boy dolls yet. Might be adding some to my collection in the future. SeattleDeb, I know what you mean. So many dolls, and so little room to keep them! Maybe you could post pictures of your collection on a website: Deb's Dolls! I might do that when I get finished sewing all these tiny dresses and hats.

Jeni,

Can't be complete without Ken around...it's a MUST have. Barbie just sent me a PM to that effect!!!

And concerning Deb's Dolls website, LOL, I look forward!

I am a big time Backgammon fan. Play about 10 games a day on average.

But my favorite relaxing activity is to sit outside on the patio very early in the morning when it is quiet and read my bible and have a cup of coffee.

I also love a good round of paint ball with my friends.

My mom had a real green thumb, but gardening has never been my thing. I've spent so much money trying to grow things in my front and back yard. I finally got so furious that I went out and bought a whole load of artificial flowers and stuck them in the ground. No kidding, it took us three years to grow grass. The only thing I can successfully grow is mold

[momoreg]

Monpetitchoux, I am growing carrots, red and yellow bell peppers, string beans, shallots, tomatoes, celery, parsley, basil, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, and habaneros.

So far so good, except the celery. I can't figure out what it needs.

Jeni and Pooh:

LOL, this is hilarious!
