It’s true. Yesterday my firstborn turned 21, and today the baby is 16.    The BB2 is off with buddies today, and will be home this afternoon to bathe in the adoration of his parents and his hungover big brother. He has requested sushi for his birthday dinner, followed by blueberry… MORE
I love this picture, so I use it often. :)

Byrdboy #1 is 21 today. The Buddies decided to surprise him on Birthday Eve.     I called him from work in the afternoon on June 30:   Him: Hey mom!   Me: Hi sweetie! What are you guys doing tomorrow?   Him: I don’t know. I’ve been kidnapped. I’m on my way somewher MORE

I take pictures of the recipes I make on Allrecipes. I am not, by any stretch, a professionally-trained photographer. I have a cruddy-to-mediocre Kodak Easyshare camera and I format my pictures for AR on Microsoft Picture It (which came with my computer software).  I don’t love to take… MORE

Hey Sunny! I came as fast as I could -  what’s up? Look! (sniff) Whoa. What’s this? It’s supposed to be Maria’s Stuffed Chicken Breasts, but I’m making a mess. What happened? Well, I beat my breasts with a mallet before I made the stuffing stuff… Why do you always MORE

In case anyone is wondering, I have written a new blog post in my head. I find it frustrating that you can’t read it, since I worked on it really hard and I think it’s pretty good. I suppose I will have to write it down for you, but that is going to take addition time. One day technology will… MORE

I can't keep up with Byrdboy 2. I keep trying to rescue old memories of things he said and he keeps coming up with new ones. These three incidents happened tonight while I was cooking dinner.       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   1. I'm minding my own business. MORE

Sometimes I hate myself. Sometimes I eat a half of a jar of pickles at midnight and wake up bloated, thick, and stupid. I ate the pickles because I used their juice to marinate pork. I didn’t have enough pickle juice, anyway, and ended up using the juice of pepperoncinis to make up for it. Th MORE

  First, I need to let all four of my faithful readers know that I was contacted by Allrecipes and asked to edit one of my stories for inappropriate language. Fair enough, I knew I was pushing it. AR was very kind about it and I appreciate that – please don’t feel upset on my behalf if you… MORE

About Me 
I have an excellent husband, two mad-hot genius boys (16 & 21!), and a mean fish. I'm happy.
My favorite things to cook
Soup is probably my favorite, and baking my least favorite, but I'm not picky. What do you want?
My favorite family cooking traditions
New ones!
My cooking tragedies
I torture myself making things I hate to make, but want to have, a lot. My tragedies usually turn into comedies, so they are worth having, too. Read Sunny, Celeste, and the Chocolate Stars on my blog if you want a little peek at an example.
