The Recipe Doldrums

July 12, 2011

2 Comments

I haz it. I suppose every housewife gets it, at some point in her cooking and cleaning career: the recipe doldrums. Nothing has pizazz, nothing is exciting. I’m defaulting to the same old same old, ladies. WHAT DO I DO??? I just wanna soak in a frothy concoction of rose-scented bubble bath, in a great [...]

Home Security Becoming a Necessity?

March 11, 2011

I’m in the process of taking inventory of the home’s contents for our insurance policy. It’s hard to believe all the STUFF we’ve acquired since we got our own home. Holy cow– lawn tractor, snow blower, tools, saws, technology, kitchen appliances, gadgets… too much stuff, I think. I like to live simpler. Although, I love [...]

In Search Of….

Uh oh. I’ve hit a lull. With recipes. I don’t have any good new ones right now. I’m kind of tired of crockpot meals, because I have to start those by 9am or else it’s too late. And actually, on most days I am either clueless or totally forget about dinner until 4pm… UGH! Last [...]

Would Someone Please Explain Foodbuzz??

October 26, 2010

I joined Foodbuzz eons ago. I have since tried to understand how on earth the thing works, but have been unable to figure it out. What the heck does it do? Is it just a cooking kiosk, a site where people toss up links to their food blogs? Is it a voting site, where people [...]

Learning About Healthy Eating

Since The Hubs has been working evenings recently, we haven’t been cooking as much as usual. The kids and i are happy to “scrounge” for dinners, and I prefer to eat light in the evenings anyway. Judging by the reactions of most women, it seems that the only reason we cook dinner is for the [...]

… but I have been SO BUSY that I haven’t had time to cook! The Hubs is working days and nights lately, so I’m off the hook when it comes to cooking these days. Yeehaw, talk about weight loss pills that work– no cooking helps, too! Yet the weather has been so pitifully gloomy and [...]

Tweets, Fast Food, and Fat

October 14, 2010

0 Comments

One of the interesting things about Twitter is that I get to know (well, not really KNOW but *know*) people from all over the world. It is amazing learning about other cultures, other people, what other folks eat or how they entertain or think about government or their favorite polo boots or whatever. On Twitter, [...]

Dumb Jokes About Food

October 8, 2010

I found a joke about food (a REALLY dumb one, made me groan) and it got me rolling. Groan with me, my friend! The customer asked: “Do you serve crabs here?” “Yes,” replied the waiter. “We’ll serve just about anybody.” :-p Where does a bat eat his dinner? On home plate, and he has a [...]
