First, let me apologize for not posting for the last week or so. With the holiday bustle (and a husband who was home from work….A LOT), my quiet time alone with my computer pretty much disappeared. (Hubby is home now too…but I’m ignoring him.) I had a good holiday but honestly I am just ready …

Cousin Tso’s Pork
Why is it in some families there is ALWAYS that one family member who everyone just loves. It could be the person with the biggest house and nicest car. It could be the one who has the sweetest kids. Heck, it could even be the one who has the best taste in music. It can …
Making Something Out of My Dumpling
Booooring! (I’m singing that word right now.) Tapping my feet, sitting behind my computer singing boring…BoRING….Booooring. I wrote two blogs this morning and I reread them both and just shook my head. Oh my…not good. Yawn. They were VERY informative but as much fun as watching paint dry. The problem was that I couldn’t complete …
Philadelphia Dip Or My New Sandwish
Do you have an extra freezer? I do. I really love having the convenience of buying things on sale or bulkier items and have a place to put them. The problem is that they can be overwhelming at times. I looked in mine the other day and just had so many thoughts go through my …
My Mind is in the Mountains
I am the person who just stands and takes a deep breath. I am the one who likes to touch the leaves on the tree. I am the woman who has to lean on a rock during a hike up to Laurel Falls. I’ve held onto a fence post in awe as I’ve looked at …

Your spell check just looked up “What is an idiot?” (Not the same thing but you may think differently after reading this post.) An IDIOM is an expression, word, …
Thanksgiving Dinner Survival Guide
So Thanksgiving is next week…what is your favorite part? The food? The people? The memories? The anxiety? (I’m saying this for a friend…yep…let’s go with that.) I thought a good post for this week would a few helpful thoughts to make next week’s dinner the best ever. Have NO expectations….expectations lead to disappointment. If you …
Your Happiness Is All In Your Noodle
The anger. The resentment. The name-calling. The accusations. The foulness. The glares. The ignorance. The bitterness. The pettiness. The disillusion. These are the words that keep streaming past my eyes when I think of one thing….being apathetic to pasta noodle options. It is such a personal decision and people take great pride in their choice. …
I’ve Lost My Appetite
As much as I hate talking about politics and would rather talk about food, I can’t get past today without pointing out the very obvious…it is Election Day. My husband and I went out and voted this morning. The line got long fast (2 of the 7 machines were already down). As more people would …
Chipping Away at My Angel Wings
Make good choices. This is what I tell my husband every time he has to make a food decision when I’m not around. Like a cute little angel on his shoulder, I like to be a constant reminder that the pantry can be the devil sometimes. To him a balanced meal is holding the bag …
