Hi, Eileen. Nice to see you here again. I have wondered how you are. So how are you?

Another Eileen

Hi Eileen, good to see you. Most of us really miss Linda.

Nancy

Hello Eileen! I have thought about you and wondered how you and the kiddo's are doing! Are you still catering?

Hi Eileen! Nice to "see" you again. I've also thought of you recently. You're on LI, right? How did you fair during Sandy?

Hi Eileen, It is nice to see you posting here again. Many of us are upset over Linda's banishment. And you nailed it .... " Guess certain people were intimdated by a strong woman with a strong opinion."

Ann

Eileen, good to see you again! Please, stop by. It's changed, but so has the world.

Eileen, it's good to see you again. How are those 4 kids? I'll bet they're grown now, even little Paddy.

yes the forum has changed. Quite a lot.

Welcome back.

Annie

Hey Eileen! Great to see you posting!
As others have already mentioned, yes the forum has changed a lot. Not for the better I might add....

Hope to see you posting more - you are missed :-)

Alexa

Hi Eileen! I just recently started trying to post more often, as well. Hope all is well with you and your brood.

Hey, it's good to see your name here again. Welcome home.

Nice to hear back from all of you! We are all well and yes the kids are growing that's for sure! Johnny is now 17 and driving (talk about heart palpitations :) Margaret just turned 15 and is in high school bridget is 12 and now in junior high and Paddy Boy is 8 and looks 12 OUCH time is flying. I went back to work 2 years ago I work here on Long Island in a town called Holbrook...small family type place we are a Medicaid Company (we do cases to get people approved for NY State Medicaid) im working part time M-F 9-2 this way I leave when the kids are gone and home when they return.My boss should be Boss of the Year! When she hired me she brought me in on a teachers schedule which means I hand in my schools districts calander in August and what ever day my kids are off I am.including summer!!!! Whats better than that! Hubby was promoted to a Genral Forman with IBEW Local #3 (NYC Electrician Union) and he is doing very well. I cater here and there and I still ponder opeing a storefront....just looked at a location on Main Street...that can work well..as I type or think of it I get good and bad butterflys! Ill keep you posted on that turn out....hey kids are old enough now to hop in the back kitchen for a afterschool part time job LOL! Anyone ever here anymore from Cookingrvc Sue or Kathleen who lived on Eastern long Island....boy she could decorate and set a table! I guess I will notice the change here but hey if us oldies stick together we can move mountains! Hows Lou when I last was on he had just lost his wife! Food wise: Ive become hooked on anything Spanish! And Im a big fan of Annatto Seed (Achiote Oil ROCKS!!!)

Hello Eileen! You don't know me. Although I asked you once if you were Finnish because of your last name.

Lou has not been a member since January 2012. If you would like to send him an email - contact me through my member page and I could provide you will his email address. I'm sure he would enjoy a note from you.

Welcome back!

Eileen, it's wonderful to hear about you and the family's success!
I look forward to hearing more and loads of recipes with your new favorite ingredient! I have been in touch with Kathleen, send me an email and I'll give you contact info!

It's so nice to have you back on the CF!

Eileen, thanks for bringing us update on the kids. Can't believe it has been eight years since you had Paddy. Time really does fly. Sounds like you have the perfect job. Great that your job adapts to the school schedule.

I've send you some information including an update on Sue.

~Ann

Eileen, it's so good to hear from you. I've thought about you over the years and wondered how the kids were doing.

I'm just getting back into the CF after a hiatus of about a year. So nice to see old friends joing together again.

Hi Eileen! I'm rarely here anymore (work, kids, volunteer work, etc...) but I do pop in now and then, often to look for dinner inspiration.

I hadn't realized Lindac was gone until I saw this! I "see" her on FB a lot, so I probably was oblivious. What a bunch of silliness. Sure, she got me angry from time to time, but that was part of her charm! life is too short for pettiness like that.

I'm pleased to hear you are doing well and your kids sound fabulous as always!

AM

is there a Facebook group for the cooking forum ?

Hi Eileen, it's nice to "see" you !!

Thank you all for the warm welcome back ..Im glad to see we have a few oldies back too :)

Mitchdesj, there used to be one, I think Alexa (Caliloo) started one but I do not know if it is still active.

And welcome back, this is still a nice place, even with changes.

There is a FB group that some of us cooking forum folks belong to. It is a very nice group of many others as well, not just friends from the cooking forum. I think anyone can ask to join. I'm not sure how to direct someone from here but if you are my FB friend, I can add you. Just let me know.

Eileen

I heard that there had been a CF facebook page. Weren't you a member Pkramer?

~Ann

I heard you called me out again Ann, so to answer you, yes, I was invited to join it as it was a private group. I was there for a very short while but asked to be removed when some very disturbing comments were made by members concerning the validity of the death of a another CF members son. Since I found the comments to be hurtful and just plain mean, I asked to be removed and was by the moderator.

Anything else you would like to know Ann?

Good to see you, Eileen.

Nice to see you all and omg this is a mess anymore what the heck happened????

Edited.

I have been a member here forever as well, but the past couple years only check in now and again -- I've never posted as many personal things as others have, so I'm not well known - but I recognize all the names and I had heard that Lou was no longer a member but didn't realize Linda C was no longer here - wow
