Even though I am on the later Pacific Standard Time I just do not think I can stay up until past midnight, Illinois time, so here it goes now... Happy Birthday Jan AKA "leapyrtwins"
Ok ANA forum folks we know who holds THE biggest record for THE MOST posts on the forum... to date “6172 (7.620 per day!!!)â€â€¦ lets now see who has the most PM's in her inbox! :D ;D ;)
Ok it is Party time!
I am bringing my usual Pacific Northwest salmon bbq on a cedar plank (gee I wonder what captain Deb will say about “the plank?†;) :D ) …And a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir. My virtual birthday present for Jan would be a bicycle helmet that covers the craniotomy hole, has a transmitter jack for the baha to plug into- and lovely daisies painted all over it for a fashion statement. ;D
Best wishes Jan- for a wonderful and indulgent day, :-*
Daisy Head Mazy ;D

I also owe Jan a chocolate cake, so there will be two. Plenty for everyone that way (except for me, who can't have chocolate). I can try some exotic dark chocolate concoction, perhaps with liqueur in the frosting?

Thanks guys - you're the best! ;D
I really appreciate the well wishes, the PMs, the emails - and the virtual party. Although I might want a BAHA in my beer (my doc tells me that the new BP100 is waterproof - and I'd like one of those) :D
We'll have to plan a birthday party in honor of everyone at the the next ANA Symposium. Can you even imagine how great that would be??
I was MIA because I was out shopping for my birthday present! No, not that Jaguar I've always wanted. No, not a Land Rover - or even a Range Rover ;) But a brand, spanking new dryer!!! Not the birthday gift I was planning on, but at least it will match the washer I had to buy last month.

"Foo foo la la" present? I've never heard that expression before.
I picked out my birthday present this year at the Chicago MicroCenter just before the symposium . . . a new Mac mini! The monitor on my beloved old igloo iMac was about to give out. I already had a keyboard, mouse and monitor, and the Mac mini was on clearance. Perfect solution.
My husband is terrible about picking out presents, which doesn't bother me a whole lot, because this way I always know I will like what I get. Hmmm, my fifteenth wedding anniversary is coming up in November. What shall I pick out then?

Jan! It just occurred to me that I should have brought potato peel pie to your party. Maybe next year?

Potato peel pie doesn't sound very appetizing :P Think I'll stick to chocolate cake ;D

Jo - The book club is currently discussing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It is a story, told in a series of letters and telegrams, about the German occupation of the Island of Guernsey during WWII. The residents of the island had very little to eat, both due to its isolation and because some of the German soldiers appropriated much of the locals' food for their use. The residents of the island had to become very resourceful and one of the dishes they invented during the occupation was potato peel pie.
My offer to Jan was tongue-in-cheek; I have never actually made a potato peel pie. But since I ought not to have put a private joke into another thread without explanation, I searched for a potato peel pie recipe for you and found this one:
Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form, fold in 2 cups grated and well drained potato peel(about 3 large potatoes). Add 1 teaspoon of dill weed. Press into greased pie plate leaving a deep impression in the middle. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Meanwhile boil the potatoes and one or two carrots or beets until soft in a small amount (1 cup or less) of salted water(sea water?). Mash well without draining adding 3 tablespoons sour cream and more dill and garlic if you have it. Mound in cooked pie shell, bake an additional 10 minutes. Top with a small handful of grated cheese. Can be served hot or cold.
Doesn't sound too yummy, and I imagine the islanders' version would have been simpler yet. I imagine the dairy products would have been scarce.

Jan,
I wish I had read this post sooner. I just shipped you a dog for your birthday present. I thought you said you wanted a Rover. ??? I guess you can send him back and I'll send you a box of dryer sheets instead - then you'll have clean, dry AND static free clothes. ;D
Sounds like you have enough virtual food sent your way - so I'll just help you virtually eat it all. Except maybe the potato peel pie... :P
Hope you had a great birthday! Lori, your partner in crime.....

Lori -
please send the dryer sheets - I'm all out and could use some (would save me a trip to Walmart) ;)
As for the "Rover", I'm still waiting for that pic-a-weiner that Kaybo promised me a few years ago. I don't think the cats would like it, but it might stop the kids from whining about why I won't get a dog.

Kay is always at Walmart - maybe she can pick up some dryer sheets and stuff them in the box with the pick-a-weenie. ;D Then you will have a very fresh smelling Rover.

OK, I had to try to find it ...... In The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Amelia writes: "Since there was scant butter, less flour, and no sugar to spare on Guernsey then, Will concocted a potato peel pie: mashed potatoes for filling, strained beets for sweetness, and potato peelings for crust." Neither Sara's recipe ingredient list, nor this one sounds all that great but it certainly showed what one can concoct in the face of adversity and few available ingredients.
At any rate, I vote for chocolate cake over potato peel pie!!
Jan, I like your idea of a birthday party at the next symposium.

Nani -
the 2011 symposium will be in Cincinnati - I don't think they've posted the exact dates yet.
The 2009 symposium was well worth it - lots of very good information and lots of interaction with other AN patients and AN doctors. I'm really looking foward to 2011.
