Hot and sweaty?? Band practice??? Are you a Band geek??? LOL HUGS
My sister's having marching band fits because her house is across the street from the high school and she swears the band is psychic because every time she goes to put the baby down for a nap ( no matter what time of day) the band starts practicing and marches around and past her house...

....owowowowow....
It's embarrassing getting your butt kicked by a room full of people who barely come past your bellybutton. I was son's "buddy" at karate tonight. Man am I a creaky stiff old bag of goo. 
I am going to be feeling it tomorrow.
I can't even use the defense that I slipped in mud and wrenched my knee this morning because that wasn't even part of the problem.
Sigh.
So: recipes!
Wild Rice, Cranberry, and Mushroom stuffing (from Wisconsin)
Yield 6 servings
2/3C wild rice
2 2/3C water
Salt to taste
1 1/2C finely chopped mushrooms
1/2C chopped onion
3Tbsp butter
1/4tsp salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1C chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3C currants or raisins (optional)
(can also use as stuffing for double-thick pork chops, chicken, or turkey)
Rinse rice; drain. Bring rice, water and salt to taste to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat. Simmer, loosely covered, for 45 to 60 minutes o until rice is tender and most of liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, drain.
Saute mushrooms and onion in butter in skillet for 10minutes or until mushrooms and onion are tender. Stir in 1/4tsp salt, pepper, cranberries, currants, and rice.
Preheat oven to 350F. Spoon stuffing into baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
Bread Stuffing with chestnuts and dried fruit (about 12 cups)
Use shelled and roasted fresh chestnuts, or canned or frozen if desired; do not use chestnuts packed in syrup, which are too sweet for this dish.
Prepare basic bread stuffing (Joy of Cooking 1997ed, p482)adding 1 1/2C coarsely chopped chestnuts and 1/2C dried fruit such ast raisins, cranberries, cherries or diced prunes, when tossing the bread with the seasonings.
I'm presuming you can use your own favorite bread stuffing recipe without too much trauma.
I'd probably suggest throwing chestnuts into the wild rice recipe, as I think that would go quite nicely together!

Hi everyone (wish I had time to glomp everyone individually but as usual I am late! Mass glomp will have to do)!
Looking back at what's been going on I have to say congrats on the shiney news Kelkhil! I shall get started knitting another ickle Jayne hat!
Justgrabbed 5 mins over lunch to search for jobs as I'm very fed up with mine (not sure if I hate teaching or just teaching here. Either way, at present I am not having a fun life at all!)
Seen a couple of fun positions doing conservation in Africa! Might apply for those this weekend. One of them pays a whopping £1.5K a year!
Sounds like HK's job is a bit sucky at present. Could I tempt her and anyone else here to run away to Africa with me?!

Hey all,
another busy sucky day at the office but could be worse.
I think I'll have to give Africa a miss Emma as I suspect blonde hair & fair skinned type people that burn in the sun might suffer somewhat!

HUGS and thanks ever so much Rosie... I knew you 'd know what to do:)
Em- oh sweety it's where you're teaching I promise. You may want to wander in to other schools on an off day and speak with people who teach there and see how they like it. Then you can get a better idea of the teaching environment you prefer. I loved my old school and am enduring this one right now, but I am so out of here the minute I can get some things settled... a bad administrator can absolutely make things so miserable and make you feel like you hate teaching and everything... HUGS and I am so sorry you got a bad one on your first time out of the gate
*takes the chocolate and snuggles Jimi*

I've been promoting a "Run Away With Me!" scheme for months - if not years - now, yet no one ever seems to take me up on it. Africa can certainly be one of our stops. ^^
