“Talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old Sometimes I’d like to quit Nothin’ ever seems to fit Hangin’ around Nothin’ to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down” I have never felt more like singing this song by The Carpenters than today. The day started like a usual workday for us. He …

Ty Cobb Salad?
My husband and I did something the other day that we haven’t done for a loooooong time. It is stereotypically something guys want to do more than girls but this time I was pushing for it. The interesting thing is that he only wanted to do it if we had another couple involved. Since I …
Take a Dip in My Garden

The Bad Day Blog (But the Bulgogi Recipe is Great!)

Risotto Roulette
Have you ever played the game roulette? Technically, I haven’t but I know it is a game of chance. From what I understand you place a bet on a number and a color (black or red). A guy in vest (I guess vests are coming back) spins a wheel one way and flings a ball …
