Quote for the Day 6/17/2009
Hans: I take it this is the first entry for the Miller Meltdown cookbook.
(In an email to me after I had posted the requested Frozen Mocha Dessert recipe to our Miller family yahoo group.)
The decadent dessert has irresponsible and perfectly delicious ingredients like sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, frozen whipped topping, chocolate syrup, etc.--all totally inappropriate for the Miller Meltdown crowd.
The Miller Meltdown is how we refer to the efforts of a group of us in the DLM clan who are trying to do a disappearing act. We're about halfway through the eight-week project. Everyone reports the relevant data each week, on Saturday morning usually. We apologize, and cheer for each other, or complain, or make up corny poetry or "blessings" or whatever.
At an undisclosed location, we also have a web page where Hiromi posts all the data that's reported.
Credit Dorcas for this idea. All the participants had to opt in. So if you happen to know a skinny member of our tribe, it's probably safe to assume that they did not pick up on the Miller Meltdown opportunity. On the other hand, if you meet a skinny Miller family member in the future, perhaps it's because they were part of the Miller Meltdown.
Ah. The things families do for each other. . . .

Minor clarification: It was Mrs. I's sister Dorcas (not daughter-in-law) that suggested the Miller Meltdown. --Linda Rose
