So today for lunch I really wanted some tuna salad to go with my melba toast. So I boiled an egg for tuna salad, and when it was done (ok, that’s a lie, I forgot about it and came back 45 minutes later) I went to the pantry for some tuna. No tuna. Instead, I [...]

Right now I am watching “Gone With the Wind”. I forgot how much I love this movie. It’s super long, but highly worth watching in my own humble opinion. I love going back and watching movies that you forgot about. By that, I mean that, while I like watching, I sort of have my own [...]

Do you have a good soup recipe? If so, would you mind sharing it with me? I really want to make soup for dinner one night this week, and maybe even some yummy homemade bread, but I am really all out of ideas for soup. Remember though, I live in a small town where I [...]

This blog, contrary to Dr. Google’s beliefs, is NOT a cooking blog. Sorry googlers, I don’t know how to make a souffle. I can’t tell you whether it will rise when it’s raining or even what goes into a souffle, other than beaten, separated eggs, which have to be tempered, and I HATE tempering eggs, [...]

Do you ever get burned out on fixing the same old thing all the time? I do. I feel sort of like I have exhausted all of the recipes I know-I am a good cook, but living in a small town sometimes limits what I can cook. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t THAT small, [...]

I totally am! This Christmas has really and truly been wonderful, with only a slight hitch of some paper in the oven catching fire. No, we weren’t trying to cook paper, don’t you worry about that, apparently some mail had gotten stuck to the bottom of a pan earlier. We were heating some cinnamon rolls [...]

It’s no secret that I love to eat. I am one of those people that will try nearly anything (unless it’s made from some weird animal or weird animal part) at least once. I love spicy, flavorful food. But I’m kind of stuck in a culinary rut. I’m a good cook (not bragging, but I’ve [...]

Yeah….I just came to an important realization. I eat like a five year old. For lunch today, I had graham crackers and peanut butter, strawberry-banana applesauce, a 100 calorie pack of wheat thins, and some water. Now my desk is coated with graham cracker crumbs and little dribbles of applesauce. Not to mention the floor, [...]

Good afternoon campers. How about an update on my reproductive organs? The news: Small (!) cyst, follow up with an appointment, no ultrasound (yet) I was pretty pleased with this plan of attack. I really wasn’t dying for someone to press on my full bladder. On that note, I know that every lady who has [...]
