I adore chicken sausages. Especially since being told I had to up my protein intake. I don’t like a lot of meat. Having options, then, is important. Sure there are all sorts of ways to cook up sausage, but I’ve found that my favorite is to saute them with a […]
Valentine’s Day sweets a bit late
They’re a tad bit underdone, but they’re still rich and chocolatey Kevin wants to be a food photographer. I think I’m inclined to dream about that too. There’s something I love about snapping pics of the stuff we create in the kitchen. But I dunno if I could really do […]
Stir crazy
This is the time of year when I really start to feel uncreative. I envy the people who reside in big cities and who commute via their feet. Me? I walk down my front steps, open the car door, and drive to where I need to go. As a result, […]
A GR rant
My husband leaves newspapers in the bathroom all the time. A guy thing, I suppose. Gotta poop? Need to take the paper with ya. When I was tidying up in there yesterday, the headline above caught my eye. Then I started reading. Ohmigod. Seriously. The stupid people rear their ugly […]
Post-Super Bowl nachos
To quote my friend Tracy, “These are mine, nachos.” The plan was to make ’em yesterday, but my husband wasn’t feeling all that well and it’s not as much fun to eat ooey-gooey nachos all by your lonesome. So tonight it was. Yum! Oh, and my vote for the best […]
All about me — me, me, me
The boys nicely agreed to pose for me as I tried out the new flash I’d call part of today a “me” day. You know, a day where you do a few things that make you exclusively happy. It started with a simple trip to my hair stylist. I’ve been […]
Not the happiest of campers
This one’s mine…and it’s not going anywhere I was talking with a fellow contractor at my client yesterday, when the tech support guy, Shawn’s his name, moseyed on over with a glint in his eye. Now Shawn and I get along fabulously. I’m not a demanding, fix-it-now type of person. […]
Comfort food
The cornbread… The chili Winter weather. The return of my appetite. A longing to get back in the kitchen.
The saying is true: be careful what you wish for
A couple of weeks ago I was lamenting the fact that I never seemed to have time to read. A few days later, I was granted that time when I came down with the crud that is the flu. I read three books in the first four days of my […]
This week-long intermission has been brought to you by influenza
The first photo I’ve taken in a week A note to the manufacturers of OTC flu/cold/cough medications: maybe you should test your packaging on actual SICK people before rolling it out to the masses. You see, when an individual has the flu, that person’s symptoms include headache, fever, chills, sneezing, […]
Happiness in a cup
Topping off a mug of Swiss Miss Chocolate English Toffee I have an addiction to whipped cream. Not the heavy-duty stuff. I prefer the lite version. (Not fat-free, though. That’s just icky.) The heavy-duty stuff, the stuff they add to your mocha at the local (or national) coffee shop, clocks […]
