Bargain Bonanza - Stop Forking over All Your Cash & Save with a Spoonful of
2008-06-04 07:15:00 Stick me in a home store and I bet my bottom dollar that I could spend all day there just looking at all the plates, cutlery, and decorative trinkets. And if the plates are square, heck, I’ll need my sleeping bag. You’ll feel the same way when you lay your eyes on Mikasa’s bargain buffet. And ...

A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down
2008-02-04 12:13:00 What cold water is to a hot, thirsty body a hearty laugh is to a beleaguered soul. As we get beyond the youthful years we seem to laugh less. William Fry, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School and expert on health and laughter, reports the average kindergarten student laughs 300 times a day. Yet, adults average just 17 laughs a day.We have allowed the stresses and demands of work and life to rob us of the joy of a smile and a laugh.Proverbs 15:13 says, "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken." By our own inner joy and outward expression of that joy we can bring grace to those around us. As a junior high teacher I try to pepper my lessons with stories, jokes, riddles and other witticisms to make classroom learning enjoyable. While the students like to moan and groan (outwardly) at my attempts, the comments I hear around the school tell me that they enjoy their classroom experience. As a pastor my rule...

The Lovin' Spoonful - Do You Believe in Magic (1965)
2008-01-16 09:00:00 Right on the tails of the Beau Brummels and the Byrds, the Lovin' Spoonful were among the first American groups to challenge the domination of the British Invasion bands in the mid-'60s. Between mid-1965 and the end of 1967, the group was astonishingly successful, issuing one classic hit single after another, including "Do You Believe in Magic?," "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," "Daydream,"...

A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down - Sometimes
2008-01-03 02:55:00 (Dova and Adam after our gingerbread house collapsed while decorating it. Adam is doing his Home Alone impression.)My little angel Dova fell ill on her 4th birthday last Wednesday and I'm afraid she got the dreaded illness I had earlier in December (more like all of December). Since I kept refusing to take a chest x-ray because I wasn't coughing up any junk and the doctor said my lungs sounded clear, I never got a diagnosis other that "respiratory infection" for the thousands of forms for my work (FMLA, short-term disability, etc.). We had taken her to the doctor on Sunday, but they didn't want to prescribe antibiotics until they got her test results back (bloodwork and a chest x-ray). Since she would've had to go to the hospital for the tests, we opted to wait until Monday. She seemed better on Monday so we didn't go, but then she got worse again on Tuesday, where the office was closed for New Year's Day. Finally, she got her tests today. Diagnosis? Pneumonia.Adam ha...

A Spoonful of Sugar a Day - Can it Keep the Doctor Away?
2007-11-28 00:00:00 ‘Sugar’ might as well be a four-letter word the way science and pseudo-science has demonized it over the years. The nemesis of dieters everywhere, sugar has become the scapegoat for obesity as well as a number of other diseases and conditions. People have been told by nutritionists that carbohydrates are bad, sugar is bad, and ...
A SPOONFUL OF CHRISTMAS - new deadline!
2007-10-28 16:13:00 Several of you have been asking me to postpone the deadline of A Spoonful of Christmas for a couple of weeks, since there are quite a few blogging events going on right now. And we all have to work and feed our kids and pets and clean, watch TV, socialize and all that jazz....

A SPOONFUL OF CHRISTMAS
2007-10-02 12:30:00 Ever since I gave my sister a spice collection as her wedding present, and subsequently started my Monday Spice Series about how I did them, I couldn't stop thinking about the magic of FOOD as a GIFT.Now that I finished the serial, I somehow feel like those four entries were just notenough. Not that I plan to get my little sister to re-marry, so I can satisfy my cooking cravings…. It’s just… I feel like, of all of us, foodies, WHO, once in a while, wouldn't play with the idea of giving somebody a nice jar of home-made jam, pickles or his/her favorite spice mixture?The lack of ideas, though, could be an obstacle. This, and also the fact that giving presents is always a nice gesture of friendship (regardless of Christmas, one’s birthday or other events), made me more and more convinced that a blogging event dedicated to the ´food as a gift´ theme could be of everybody’s interest.Therefore, I am very proud to announce the beginning of my own A SPOONFUL of CHRISTMAS food e...
Lovin' Spoonful - Darling Be Home Soon (1967)
2007-06-04 11:01:00 Right on the tails of the Beau Brummels and the Byrds, the Lovin' Spoonful were among the first American groups to challenge the domination of the British Invasion bands in the mid-'60s. Between mid-1965 and the end of 1967, the group was astonishingly successful, issuing one classic hit single after another, including "Do You Believe in Magic?," "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," "Daydream," "Summer in the City," "Rain on the Roof," "Nashville Cats," and "Six O'Clock."Like most of the folk-rockers, the Lovin' Spoonful were more pop and rock than folk, which didn't detract from their music at all. Much more than the Byrds, and even more than the Mamas & the Papas, the Spoonful exhibited a brand of unabashedly melodic, cheery, and good-time music, though their best single, "Summer in the City," was uncharacteristically riff-driven and hard-driving. More influenced by blues and jug bands than other folk-rock acts, their albums were spotty and their covers at times downright weak. ...

Just A Spoonfull of Ice Cream Makes The Anger Go Down In The Most Delightfu
2007-02-10 04:59:02 (What's scary is that I can sing all of those songs perfectly from memory along with all of the Disney songs and most of the Sesame Street songs. What's even weirder is that when I'm singing them, I imagine myself to be the character singing the song from the movie. Fantasy-prone personality? I'd say...probably...yes.)So I accomplished one of my goals today: I finished filling out the paperwork for the SSI thing and mailed it off. They want to know the weirdest things about you. Like one particular thing I thought was weird was the question,"Are you right or left-handed?" I mean, what's the purpose of that question and, for that matter, what difference does it make? They might as well have asked me,"Do you pick your nose with your right or left hand and if so, do you find any gold?" I was planning on studying Chp 10 for my Sensation and Perception class. I need to take some notes on it, but it's not until Tuesday, so I have tomorrow and Monday to do that. I was supposed to hav...
