40 Meat Free Days
For those of us who are Christian, Lent began today (Ash Wednesday). And for some of us, that means giving up something. This year, I have decided to part ways with meat for the 40 days of Lent. Though I was a vegetarian as a teen and young adult, it is a much harder thing [...]
Rough Weekend
I intended on posting a few times this weekend but two things thwarted that plan. First, my laptop’s Internet Explorer began malfunctioning (wouldn’t go to webpages at all). Finally I discovered that there was an upgrade that Microsoft REALLY wanted me to download (do you sense a conspiracy here, because I do). When I finally [...]
Mama Always Comes Back.
I just returned from my first business trip ever. It was more than a week and took me to Miami, away from my son, my husband, my dogs . . . And I missed them all like crazy. When Will was a newborn, my husband was traveling all the time for long periods. It was [...]
WDB: Yea, he’s got an identity crisis.
After Snoopy tried unsuccessfully to jump into Will’s highchair this morning, I figured I’d see what he did if . . . I fed him breakfast on the high chair. Yea, he settled right in and started eating. The dog has an identity crisis. He’s sits up on our kitchen chairs, drinks out of glasses [...]
My Favorite Recipes of 2006
I got up to post this morning, only to realize that I am pretty much caught up. Well almost. There is that pesky (delicious) risotto to write about and, of course, Sugar High Friday to contend with. But they will come over the next few days. In 2006, I experimented a lot in the kitchen. [...]
$1.69 of Bliss
Sometimes we all need a moment of relaxation. (How coincidental that one of those moments is RIGHT NOW for me, thanks to Blogger.) In times like that, we might turn to cookies or some other comfort food. Or maybe it’s a hot bubble bath and a glass of wine that relaxes you. Well here’s something [...]

Go Forth and Vote
I came here to mention that the voting booths are open for the Food Blog Awards. As a judge of this year’s FBAs, I am proud of the contribution I made and happy with our selections for finalists. I have no qualms about the popular blogs that didn’t make the cut. Just because a blog [...]
Can You Feel the Newness?
Will loves to say “thank you.” He thanks people for handing him things, and for taking things that he hands them. He thanks you for holding doors, opening containers and taking away bottles (baa-baaas, in Will speak). It’s the first phrase that he’s learned and he’s really taken it by the horns and used it [...]
10 Things I Learned in 2006
It’s getting to be that time of year when we remember all the things that happened over the course of the year. Looking back moves us forward to the next year where there will be all sorts of new things to learn. Crazy, isn’t it? Over the course of the next week, you’ll see several [...]
