Mustaches

January 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Blog, Kitchen

Mention Free Milk and my ears perk up immediately. As do the ears of my daughter and grandchildren. It is no secret to any long time reader here that we go through at least 1 gallon of milk a day in our house and now that the babies are off of formula and drinking whole [...]

Super Bowl Sunday – a day when 62 percent of grill owners fire-up their grills for the big game – is fast approaching. More home parties take place on Super Bowl Sunday than almost any other day of the year; the average size of a party is 17 people. And, with more guests [...]

Soup night

January 17th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Blog, Kitchen

I am not a big soup eater. I enjoy French Onion when dining out or Tomato with bacon when at home. But I love making soup, the idea of all those fabulous ingredients simmering together and melding their flavors intrigues me (but not enough to actually eat it).
So this weekend, I told Adam I wanted [...]

I am a member of Team Over.

Look at This Studio Filled With Fabulous Prizes

I can clearly picture in my head, little 4 or 5 year old Matthew spouting this opening to Wheel of Fortune. I don’t know if it was the wheel itself that he liked, but I do know he knew that opening spot on.
To say that, I don’t believe there to be a person in the [...]

BINGO

January 3rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Blog

When mom would come visit, she and I would take a bus out to the San Manuel Indian Bingo. We would catch the bus around 3 here in Glendale, the ride would take about an hour out to Highland, play bingo for a few hours and then be home around midnight.
All it was, was a [...]

Happy Birthday!

January 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Blog

The twins truly do begin a New Year today. Today they turn 1 year old. Hard to believe how far they have come. From the tiniest of babes in the NICU to robust little cruisers.
Little Miss Madilyn (the older of the two) barely fit into her skin when she was born with her little sunken [...]
