Christmas: A+; Scalloped Potatoes: F-
2007-12-26 16:10:00 I admittedly am much harder on myself than others when something in my kitchen doesn’t work like I want it too; a failure to me is something that doesn’t even come close to being what I expected, regardless if others consume it without question, or even better, go back for seconds. That would be the case ... More About: Christmas , Potatoes , Allo

Griffin made us a snack
2007-12-19 01:55:00 Not much to it; hard boiled egg yolks mixed with some mayo and deli mustard, a sprinkle of paprika and celery salt, then scooped back into the whites. But he made them, from start to finish. My only role was to sprinkle in the seasonings as he said ‘I probably can’t manage to get those right’. ... More About: Made , Choice , Snack , Griffin

Ode to Frost and Sun
2007-12-12 16:02:00 I woke up to a shiny winter wonderland this morning- frost was everywhere, the crystal-y kind known as Hoar Frost . With the sun reflecting off the crystals it sure made for a lovely sight. Who says winter can’t be beautiful?? More About: In The Garden
I?ll stop saying ?Food? if you stop saying ?Nothing?
2007-12-12 02:07:00 I love my teenage son, I truly do. But he’s a teenager, after all, and he does have his moments. When he is being a particularly trying pain in the neck, I like to think about when he was three. He was ADORABLE!! Superbly cooperative, loving, sweet and contagiously funny. He loved to sit ...

It?s cookie time in the city
2007-12-08 15:21:00 Aaaaaaand I’m back! Miss me? I did treat you to a few posts, shelved prior to ‘the week without tastebuds’ in my house so I wasn’t superbly absent. Interestingly enough, while I recuperated, my blog was inundated with hits, mostly searching for pictures of funny cats. I suppose I’m not so remiss in that area, but ...

From the pantry?..
2007-12-02 14:33:00 (as I recuperate from nasal surgery, which means the inability to taste anything and feeling like I am suffering from the worst cold EVER, feel free to peruse this post I wrote a few weeks back; it’s all relevant to food anyway) There’s a surefire way to spur on a home improvement project such as ...

Food that moves and soothes
2007-11-29 15:28:00 I am no stranger to surgery under general anesthesia; in the past three years I have undergone three abdominal surgeries, one requiring three days in the hospital, to help alleviate a chronic problem. But this surgery is different; it’s on my face, specifically my nose. And that terrifies me. I have a deviated septum which will ... More About: Food , Recipes , Moves
How smart am I?
2007-11-28 02:31:00 So, one good thing about leftover turkey is making soup. I love a good soup, and today, for whatever reason, it turned really frickin’ cold!

When the party?s over?
2007-11-26 12:02:00 So another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Family time, food-massive-food and a long weekend (for some, not for me, though) is all but a fond and distant memory. We had a gorgeous and gentle snowfall on Thanksgiving; fluffy flakes that floated, swirled and blew through the sky, and at twilight they fell in the deepening ... More About: Party , The Party
WCB- Just Chillin? (part 2)
2007-11-24 15:34:00 Last weekend Bustopher and Harmon showed off some of their favorite cozy spots around the house.

First Bustopher discovered it: Then, when he made the fatal error of getting out, Harmon quickly ... More About: Part
Thankful?.no matter what day it is
2007-11-23 13:16:00 Like Valentine’s Day, I am hoping that, collectively, everyone learns to be thankful for the blessings in their life every day of the year, and not just the fourth Thursday in November. This holiday isn’t very closely tied in to much ‘Hallmark-ing’; there’s no serious cards to be seen, no extreme gadgets that scream and whine ... More About: Matter , Hank
What, or who makes you smile?
2007-11-20 14:51:00 You Make Me Smile Award I happened to notice recently that I was getting a lot of hits from Susan’s site; whenever this occurs in my blog stats, I tend to scoot on over to the site to see why. Imagine my surprise when I found she’d given me a You Make Me Smile Blog Award! ...

2007-11-19 03:24:00 Even if it doesn’t look quite as spectacular as it tasted. It’s Stir Fried Chicken in Lettuce Wraps. This recipe caught my eye back in the April issue of Food and Wine.

WCB- Just Chillin?
2007-11-17 15:35:00 Everyone knows that Cats are power loungers; they sleep, what? Like 20 hours a day? God, what a life. Take Harmon for example; he has age on his side, he’s 14 after all; lying around the house comes even easier for him being he’s the old guy. He has mastered the art of power snoozing, ...

Hand crafted blog
2007-11-06 02:38:00 I just thought I would show you what the beginnings of a hand crafted White Mocha latte looks like. The coffee shop I work for, called Dunn Bros., prides itself on ‘hand crafted espresso drinks’. (It’s like calling the Subway Sub Shop workers ‘Sandwich Artists’.) We do make all our drinks from scratch with ... More About: Blog , Hand
