 After [personal profile] lady_karelia  posted that she had made latkes and applesauce, I've been craving that.  So tonight I made potato pancakes and a recipe I have for chunky cinnamon-ginger applesauce.  Yum!  Thanks for the idea!

My son has a bad cold.  My husband stayed home with him in the morning, and I arranged for my class to be covered in the afternoon.  He seems to be feeling better tonight.  Hopefully we'll all get more sleep tonight than last night.

On Wednesday evening I'll be flying out to go to a conference in Minneapolis, so I'll be "out of business" as far as Live Journal is concerned from Wednesday through Saturday.  I'll miss you guys.  Try not to do anything too exciting while I'm gone.  :-)

Who do you enjoy on Dancing With the Stars?

Well, this season I'm hoping that Kristi Yamaguchi will win. I'm an old figure skating fan from way back. I think Jason Taylor is doing well. Mario is dancing well, but I just don't like his personality as well as Kristi's or Jason's. How about you?

I'll agree that I, too, am a fan of Kristi from her skating days. Jason is very talented, but I worry his great size will give him trouble at some point. Matlin amazes me; the fact she has done so well is a due to her partner and a great deal of work. Sadly, she is faltering with the Latin dances.

Oh, Marlee has been great! But you're right. The Latin dances require a feel for the beat, and when you can't hear the beat... well, it is amazing that she does as well as she does.

If/when you have the time and if you're willing to share, would you mind posting the recipe for the chunky cinnamon-ginger applesauce? It sounds interesting, and I absolutely lllllllove ginger.

Have fun in Minneapolis! I love the Children's Museum there, visited about 9 years ago...

Watch for a post for the applesauce recipe. It would be fun to revisit many of the Minneapolis sites. We lived for 12 years in Minnesota. I'm fortunate because a lot of the staff members of the schools I taught at in Minnesota will be at this conference. It will be fun to catch up with old friends!

Hope your son feels better soon.
Enjoy -if thats at all possible- your conference.

Oooo, sorry I mentioned excitement after the week you've had. :{

My son is getting better and is looking forward to a visit to Grandma's while I'm gone. I'll be able to see some friends from when we lived in Minnesota, so I hope that at least parts of the conference will be fun (i.e. visiting the local restaurants/pubs in the evenings) :-)
