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…
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…
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…
A Lobster Tale
I have decided today is Lobster Tale day because I just saw this story in the headlines ten seconds ago. In addition, Fab Husband is wearing a t-shirt with a lobster on it. A large lobster. So in honor of both versions of lobster that crossed my path today, I felt compelled to share our Lobster…
Unexpected Joys
Running late for church on Sunday, Kidzilla and I were rushing to get ready. Fab Husband took her ahead to get her situated in the car seat. Suddenly, with panic in her voice, she hollered from the front door, “Dadda! My purse!” I hollered back, “I’ve got it,” and headed out the door behind them.…
Our Family Table
Ever notice how when people gather in a home, they tend to end up around the kitchen or dining room table? Of course you have – and I am by far not the first person to mention it. Nor can I offer any unique insight about the reasons why this is so. You know the…
Where Does This Go?
Eight and a half years of marriage (or 60-ish if you ask Fab Husband), six years in our current home…and my Husband still has no idea where we keep things. (I, on the other hand, am expected to know the precise location of every item in the house, regardless of ownership of said item.) I…
He Cooks! – Red Meat Edition
This is what we had for dinner Tuesday night: That lovely piece of steak was grilled to perfection by my Husband, the resident Grill Master. And the perfectly grilled corn on the cob. He even prepared the marinade for the steak on his own. I was relegated to bean prep. He may not be terribly adept in…
How a Self-Proclaimed Cat Hater Ends Up Living with Three Rotten Cats
As I write this, my Fabulous Husband is finishing up some vacuuming…to rid our home of this week’s allotment of cat hair! This is part of why he is fabulous. A) I haven’t touched a vacuum cleaner since we got married (HATE vacuuming more than cleaning toilets) and B) he is in charge of all…
