That’s Using Your Noodle!
“You made that up?” “Yes.” “Out of your head? Like it’s original?” “Yes.” “Then you have to post it.”
Supermarket Goodies
As promised, today I bring you tales from the supermarket. Grocery shopping is not really all that entertaining, I suppose, but it’s something we all have to do eventually. I try to make it as bearable as possible. And while I suspect that nobody really wants to know about our grocery shopping efforts or product…
He Cooks! – Chicken Edition
Saturday was a busy day. It wasn’t supposed to be, but our unstructured, unplanned day turned into a whole bunch of stuff. Our one and only obligation was back-to-school haircuts for Kidzilla and Mom…
Kidzilla Speaks – A Quickie from the Kitchen
Everybody knows that kids say the darndest things. There was a TV show about it, right? Bill Cosby was the host and it was based on material from an old Art Linkletter show. You can YouTube that and get some good laughs. Our Kidzilla, of course, comes out with a few winners every now and…
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 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…
Did You Really Say What I Think You Said?
Sometimes life is absurd. Over the several years, Fab Husband and I have found ourselves saying things out loud that are seemingly absurd. Generally, it is something one of us overhears when the other is in the next room. By themselves, these things are truly absurd. However, when placed within the context of raising a…
On Grandmothers and Tradition
My Lovely Italian Grandmother made terrible polenta. Seriously. Terrible. Polenta. She was the kind of Grandmother who, when you entered her home, asked about your last meal before she asked who you were. “Here…sit. Eat,” she would say. Her Mother did the same – it’s how we got one of my in-law uncles. He sat…
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…
