And a couple more odds and ends:

OBG: So you just have a bit of melted butter over the top of dry cake mix in your dutch oven? Does that come out rising and cakey, or what's it like? I'm having trouble figuring out what it should be like. I'm wondering if doing something more like a cobbler to top the fruit would be the way to go to avoid the tasty, but weird-consistency topping I got with the 7Up. I've gotta believe I'm doing something wrong with that.

Also, my cousin told me the folks at the ER complimented how the wound was taken care of when they got it - and apparently the bit of neosporin helped the gauze come off easily rather than sticking with dry blood. So now I feel like my CPR/First Aid course I took in December has paid off. Hope to never have to get full value on the CPR end of things.

And Charlie - Sam turns 6 next week.

Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions
