Between your family being sick and my being busy with work . . .<BR/><BR/>I'm trying this strategy: Concentrate on one challenge at a time, but not exclusively, so I have a chance to meet them all. We'll see. I have one category complete for the 999. But a glance at my progress bars shows that there are challenges I haven't even started.

I'm sorry that more people didn't participate in the challenge. I'd love to keep going but actually have committed myself to a lot of other challenges. But food books are fun reading for me so I won't quit reading them.
