Better Late than Never – Recipe Included!
Really late posting today…it’s been a crazy couple of days. Lots of things happening all at once, details flying at me from every direction…it happens. So here I am, better late than never, I suppose, with a very simple offering for a really great – and really adaptable – meal offering.
Scattered Thoughts for a Lazy Friday
I meant to have a post ready for today…honest. And then, as I often say, life got in the way. This is not a bad thing. In fact, it’s very good. It’s been a busy week. Allow me to share some updates, observations and discoveries…
Tacos Have I Loved
Maybe having two meals with a similar cultural spin within one week is too close for comfort. Maybe it creates a tense form of sibling rivalry as the two duke it out for Favorite Southwest/Mexican Meal of the Week. But before we address the question of the Favorite Meal, another issue must be discussed: I…
Writing Workshop: Worst Meal Ever
Today, I was horrified by inspired by Kitchen Witch’s story about Shipwreck Casserole – I have never heard of such a thing. Her story immediately brought to mind some of my least favorite childhood meals. So I decided to join MamaKat’s Writing Workshop this week and play along…
Things I Never Thought I Would Do
Once upon a time, I was completely non-girly. Femininity is one thing, but girly-ness is a whole other state of being. I did not cry at sappy love stories.

My Bad Day Monday
Monday was kind of a bad day. Although after sitting here for a while with a cup of hot homemade soup, poking around the headlines and getting a few reminders that there are far worse things in other people’s lives than I had to deal with. Everything in perspective. Forgive me for sounding like the proverbial…
He Cooks! – Mac & Cheese Edition
Kidzilla wanted macaroni and cheese for lunch today. From a box. The kind with powder for cheese. Bleah. This is quite possibly the most disturbing meal on the planet. It has powder for cheese. Orange powder. White powder, if you get the fancy cheddar on shells variety, which is what Zilla wanted today. Either way,…
The Tragedy of Three Rotten Cats
Shakespeare. The Tragedy of Macbeth. Act 4, Scene 1. Setting: A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron. Thunder. Enter the three Witches. First Witch: Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed. Mew. Mew. Mew. There is a Rotten Cat staring at me. The Others are here as well. Staring. All Three Rotten Cats are here…
