Hey everybuddy! How was your Thanksgiving? I thoroughly enjoyed mine. I did almost NOTHING! lol! It was quiet. All I had to do was prepare the turkey, and the kids helped with everything else. It was wonderful having all of us together, sharing the blessings and the chores, and just relaxing for a whole day. [...]

For quite a number of years now, food pantries across the country have been needing more donations. This year has been especially trying for food pantries. Demand at food pantries and soup kitchens continues to increase even as financial experts predict the economy is turning around. WNYC’s Cindy Rodriguez visited a food program in Brooklyn [...]

I can’t say I’ve been very active with my search for new Thanksgiving recipes. :-p It’s been CRAZY busy here, and I guess I’m not terribly motivated (yet). I know, once Wednesday rolls around, I’ll suddenly get inspired, ha! If any of you have some stupendous, amazing recipe to share, please let me know!! I [...]

I’m horribly inept with chicken. I can bake it (which no one likes but me), I can roast it (all like that), or make Chicken Florentine. Other than that, I have NO IDEA what to do with the meat! It’s kind of how I feel about plasma tvs — what on earth do you DO [...]

I was on time for the FFFF, honest! It’s just that when I checked Friday morning, it hadn’t been posted yet! So I was actually on time, but by not posting until now.. it’s.. not… on… time. Technically. Whatever. OK, so here it finally is!! Here are the Qs for this weekend. That I, uh, [...]

It must have been a crazy week, with the kids, school, and dreaming about hotels in florida…. boy, I’d love a vacation right about now…. Well, I’m playing catch up. I’m [...]

Well, if you live in the United States, I’ve heard that a LOT of the fod is genetically modified. I don’t know why they want to tinker, tinker, tinker with foods in that way. I mean– tinker with the stupid bugs! I heard there was some project long ago that would make mosquitoes sterile and [...]

We saw snow fly for the second day in a row. Flurries were pretty intense for about 5 minutes. It was as lovely, but the first couple of snows are always lovely. After that, it’s either “ho hum,” or “OH NO!” Anyway, a chilly, damp day like this is a perfect day for baking chicken. [...]

I’ve heard about the bean edamame (eh-dah-MAH-meh) for quite some time. I spotted it in the frozen section of the grocery store, and decided to check it out. It’s actually quite good! I wouldn’t say it’s the most amazing thing since chocolate bars, but it’s not too bad. The best part about the stuff is [...]
