Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day? I did — Dave sent me on a scavenger hunt around the house finding one clue after another. The clues were tied into some pretty cryptic things about our marriage, such as “When we were stationed in Louisiana we learned to put this on all our food” and … Read more
“So — first Yoshi? Now Ninja??? What’s next? Ginsu?” Yep — this will be a more positive commentary than the Yoshi review, I promise! Dave and I got a nice generous Bed, Bath and Beyond gift card from Dave’s brother for Christmas. Earlier this week we took a trip to Pensacola to run some errands … Read more
Opened up my Yoshi Blade…seemed to cut up an apple well enough. But then I read the care instructions, which I’ve transcribed here for your reading pleasure. Remember, this is NOT a metal blade, but a ceramic one. Still, some of these warnings are a bit extreme…I’m kind of miffed about not using it to … Read more
This Yoshi? No, this one: Today I ran up to Publix, our local grocery store, for some last-minute items for chicken parmasean. While there, I came across a section with a bunch of those “As Seen on TV” gadgets…all marked down! I very very rarely succumb to the “As Seen on TV” craze. I got … Read more
Howdy! It’s been a few days. I’m sure you’ve ALL been at the edge of your seat, spending all your time wondering, “How has Major Mom been with the move?” I’m sure you’ve been up all night worrying about me, right? Of course you have 😉 So we had our stuff delivered on Wednesday, December … Read more
Okay, for me personally, it’s a day late and a dollar short…since we’re leaving in a week. I’m a huge Trader Joe’s fan! I can’t say exactly when I first went there. I know it was about 10 years ago and it was either the one in Commack, NY with my in-laws, or else in … Read more
I have to introduce this to the masses. I just have to! When Dave and I were visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, we enjoyed visiting the little grocery store up the street from our hotel. With the continental breakfast being $13.50 CD per person, per day, just picking up a loaf of bread, a block of butter … Read more
Considering I’m in Nebraska, it makes sense that we should take some time to discuss corn here, right? The nickname “Cornhusker” was first adopted by the University of Nebraska football team in 1900. The little farm stands popped up all over the Omaha Metro, as they do every year in mid-July. I’m partial to this … Read more
From 2010 07 29 Funnel Cakes! Wow, it’s been a while since I did a food-related blog post. I used to do them quite often, but I hadn’t done anything too blog-worthy lately… …until today. While Timmy’s in New York enjoying some Grammy and Grampy time, Jacob’s been enjoying a rare moment of “only-child-ness” here. … Read more
*Yes, you read that correctly! I introduced Kool-Aid to the kids recently. Â I guess they’d had it before at birthday parties and stuff, but I never made it for the boys the good old fashioned way: the little packet, 1 cup of sugar (give or take) and 2 quarts of water (give or take.) It … Read more
