Oops. I almost forgot to post today. Had a busy day with picking up our Thanksgiving food box from a local co-op. So the turkey is in the fridge and will slowly thaw over the next several days. I need to figure out what I’m going to make besides turkey and dressing.
And tomorrow marks two [...]
I’m a big fan of using baskets and bins when you need to store things in plain site. The problem with our place right now is having enough space for even those items. For storage. A one-bedroom place is so tiny. I get frustrated at times with our lack of space.
But what I really need [...]

I’m taking it easy on myself tonight. (Do I do that too much?) I’m slowly feeling better from the cold I had/ have. But I don’t want to do too much and get sick again. I debated not even going to the store tonight, but I wanted to pick up a couple of things.
On my [...]
I’ve been distracted tonight by watching Top Chef. We watch every Wednesday and it’s getting down to the wire. I’ve learned a lot about food since watching it the last several seasons. I would love to read more about classical French cooking and techniques. And I would love to be a much better cook.
Since meeting [...]
Not feeling well right now. Big cold seriously kicking my behind. Right now I’m trying to get some rest and figure out why my eye is watering, burning, and light sensitive. Made for a rough day of looking at the computer, that’s for sure. Hubby has been helpful, letting me take a nap this afternoon. [...]
It’s time to start planning meals. Oh, we’ve been buying groceries that will cover a variety of meals during the week, and we use most of them. But it’s pretty haphazard. Both my husband and I like to have choices – we don’t like an inflexible menu.
So each time I mentioned menu planning, my husband [...]
If you want to make some super-awesome rolls that get you praise and accolades without a huge amount of work, then listen up.
Last year, I discovered a no-knead roll recipe at The Pioneer Woman. It sounded pretty simple so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s an easy recipe and you don’t need to [...]
We had a lot going on today. We saw a printer demo, watched a movie, and stopped to get a copy of Up because we absolutely loved it when we originally saw it.
Remember the roast prep I did yesterday? This morning I put all of the veggies, the roast (which I had seasoned and put [...]

We’re still suffering from lack of sleep in these parts, which makes it really hard for me to get going in the mornings. I need a full night’s sleep to feel at my best and most productive. I haven’t had many of those nights for about 2 1/2 years now. So it’s been taking me [...]

I had planned to rest a little then come back last night. I just couldn’t do it. And it’s a good thing, too. I wound up in bed 8 pm last night. Yes, I even missed Grey’s Anatomy.
And even with going to bed that early, I didn’t get much sleep last night. I kept waking [...]
