Thanks, it was fun and hopefully they'll get lots of feedback on how yummy it tastes and want to do it again. Linda, those Challahs really are mini. I like to weigh my dough when I partition it so it's easier to get strands the same length and thickness or loaves the same size that bake uniformly so each one of those loaves weighs 1/4 pound. Most Challah loaves are sold as one or two pounders. Tracy, we will be freezing about 8 of the Challahs, everything else will be given away. Cloud, our Shalas manot baskets will have a grape juice box, yeast hamentaschen and cookie hamentaschen (made a different day), a mini loaf of challah and some pretzel, kisses and m&m candy thingies my kids and I will make when dh gets home from the store. Mustangs, you did great. Much better than I in fact, when I just used one giant bread dough recipe and you made three separate ones. You GO!! Lou, as great as it looks, last years "haul" for our friends may have been better. They got a pie dish of Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon rolls, unbaked and frozen with baking instructions so they could eat it whenever they wanted, cookie hamentaschen, mini bundt cakes (I'd just gotten a new pan lol) and home made toffee. If you really want a bite email me your addy and I'll pop some in the mail for you :) Annie, you too. And cooking iwth help is always a pleasure. I love it when my kids help. Jim, I love the traditions we pass down to our kids and cooking for holidays is part of it.

jyyanks, Love your tile too. I don't know how much a square foot but maybe cheaper in cost than glass my girlfriend is looking for tile.

Anyways all well..

That's the point. I'm a computer dummy, and *I* found it. And I do know how to put someone's face on another body with my adobe program. It's super simple. You can even do it with the programs that come with Windows. What if I were one of those pedophiles and put your child's face on a naked body and posted that all over the net? It has happened, and it just bothers me that people post kids pictures. I won't even sign permission slips for the news to film or take pictures of my children in school. They have to blurr their faces out. Not meaning to intend an argument here, but it really is a concern to me. I'm really a very laid back easy to get along with person, but I don't like to take chances. Ya know? Play safe? :)
