Mrs. Mad Maddy

My husband brought home fresh mozzarella from the store, which normally I would make a tomato capezo salad with. However, I am recently disabled and can't drive and we have no tomatos in the house.

Any good suggestions on what to do with the mozzarella? I hate to waste it, we have fresh mushrooms but not many other fresh veggies as it is deep winter where we are and the veg at the store didn't look good this week. We have lots of frozen veg though.

and why, please do not answer if you feed your dog Science Diet or Purina, Old Roy or anything of the sort. I am not being a snob, we have older dogs of poor health and I do not have children, their health is of the utmost importance to me.

We are getting a puppy and I have done a lot of research and we believe we are feeding a high quality food but we are open to new ideas.

Why do you feel that other belief systems do not belong here, why does it have to be such a holy war? I respect that you are Christian, please respect that just because someone is not, or has a belief different from you that they are bad or "going to hell". How does someone believing different than you threaten you in any way? I just don't get it.

I had my four wisdom teeth pulled today and I am experiencing pain on the left side, which they warned me about so I am not alarmed. However, when drinking my broth tonight I felt a tickle in my throat, left side. After poking, yanking and contorting my mouth for an hour and probably damaging myself, I figured out it is a stitch. It is invisible so I can't see it but it is a good 2 inches long. I can work in on my tongue but my husband can't see it and neither can I.

Is this something to concern me? I am afraid all my prodding was not a smart thing to do either, but it freaked me out because it kept going down my throat. Please tell me if I might have hurt myself by being a dork. I have followed all of my Dr.'s other orders.

I am a bit of a worry wart so please only answer if you know. Thank you for your time!

I need to know how to cook beets from the garden and are they any good? I like the pickled beets.
