A Recipe For You, Dear Person...

Feb. 23, 2013 2:12 pm

Updated: Mar. 6, 2013 3:26 pm

I have a fan out there. They like to make hurtful comments, but they just haven't yet found something with which to hurt me. I hope they never do because it would hurt them more than it would hurt me. I found this recipe online, and I think it will do the both of us some good. Ingredients1… MORE

No meat for Lent. It's a calling for me.

I love meat. A great steak can make my night. I love a good pork tenderloin. Chicken-yes please! Mmmm prime rib. So, why do I feel called to give up meat for Lent? I wonder if its because deep down I feel like I need less meat in my diet...for health as well as economics..a little cleaner… MORE

I Can Do It Myself!

Updated: Feb. 28, 2013 7:06 am

I'm sitting here this evening considering how I do things and how fortunate I am to have the time to do things the way I want to. I'm having a rare third cup of coffee, and I know that I will pay for it. But it is so good! This morning my first cup was a Brazil Cerrado DP Fazenda Aurea, which… MORE

Hello Again!My first blog post, all the way back in August, was written and forgotten. Rereading my own words has left me wondering about a lot. First, let me thank the people who posted comments with words, prayers, and thoughts of encouragement (even those who thought they were on another… MORE

Yikes! My Norwegian Is Showing!

I have a love/hate relationship with trying to figure out what to make for supper everyday. I keep threatening to use the Menu Planner, but I have a hate/despise relationship with organization. AllRecipes is a great place to find recipes for a last minute inspiration, and today they gave me a… MORE

Flavor. That's what recipes are about, right? Of course! But how to get all the flavors piled into a sandwich and still have something close to the size of my bite and still not squeeze the contents out? For instance, a hamburger. I want lettuce, sweet pickle relish, slice of onion, jalapeno,… MORE

Italian Inspired Vegetable soup -- from the WW magazine. Greatest soup I've had in a long time. Hubby likes it, and it's healthy and you can basically eat it all day long. In Weight Watchers lingo it's "Zero Points" In Nutrition lingo it's packed full of good stuff. Here it is: Yum Yum.… MORE

I don't like spiders and snakes...

Feb. 15, 2013 9:24 am

Updated: Feb. 21, 2013 4:42 am

As the song goes. I actually DON'T like spiders at all (I know, they eat insects, they serve a purpose, etc, etc, etc.) but I STILL don't like them. Snakes...well, I'm ok with them as long as we both understand our boundaries. I'm far less likely to encounter a snake than a spider, so I'll… MORE

Still Slicing My Apples....for now

Feb. 14, 2013 10:31 am

Updated: Feb. 22, 2013 4:45 am

(Part 3 in an ongoing saga)It’s been a while since I last gave my handful of readers an update on my quest to once again be able to take a bite out of a crisp ripe apple. There really hasn’t been all that much to report other than I got a new & improved upper denture that looked and felt more… MORE

Maudlin, Mawkish Or Honestly Sentimental?

Updated: Feb. 20, 2013 7:14 am

I'm sitting here eating my breakfast. Today I am having a serving of Quaker Steel Cut Oats and a cup of coffee. I wish I had the discipline to have oatmeal every morning, but 25 minutes for a bowl of porridge is a lot of time spent. I usually just have coffee and then snack for the first half… MORE
