Month: January 2006

Sorry for my lack of posting the past few days! We’ve been a wee bit busy. We had a great visit with Andy’s Mom, and I think Zander is missing her already. This past weekend was a whirlwind, but in the kitchen there is a deifinite standout. Quinoa. Yesterday I […]

I won’t be long-winded tonight, but we had a great day. Zander couldn’t be happier with his gifts, and is further into Thomas the Tank Engine heaven. Today we added Henry, Toby, and a Barrel Loader to his train collection, so he was in train heaven. Here are a few […]

Okay, so skip today’s post if you’re looking for something food related, or profound. Today I needed to ramble.Well, this has been bothering me for a whole day now, and I think I just need to get my thoughts written down and share them. I got a job offer yesterday. […]

Lol! I’ve been tagged for a meme by Patti at Adventures in Food and Wine. Amazingly, this was a tough list to complete. And as for tagging…I think most everyone has been tagged by now, but I will tag my sister Rachel, as well as Ana at Kitchen Space. If […]

So today started early. After dropping off Abigail at school, Zander and I headed out to do the weekly grocery shopping. We were back home by about 9:30 in the morning, which was good, since I had a little more cleaning to do before heading to the airport. Then around […]

So today I woke up feeling like my head had been shoved through a meat grinder. Another cold has rammed head first into me, and it is terribly frustrating. The worst part was that today I was supposed to accompany Abigail on a field trip to see Eric Carle stories […]

Well, we were a bit busy today. Today Abigail was home since the schools had a day off today. And she had a friend over for the day. Yikes. It’s been a little noisy here. Zander had a short nap, I suspect due to the noise, so he is most […]

This morning I was woken up by my two sunshines. Zander had an armful of Thomas trains and wanted to show me. Abigail had her cookbook in hand and said “Mommy, I want to make these.” And pointed to a picture of waffles. Okay, give me a few minutes. By […]

I swear that we cannot get healthy here. It seems like I cannot remember a time when someone in our house was not sick with something. It’s getting a little annoying. And it’s also heartbreaking when the ones most affected are the little ones. Today it’s poor Abigail. She came […]

My day started out rather nice. While Andy took Abigail to school today, I determined that today would be the day to make some homemade honey-wheat bread, and try a new soup. A quick peruse through my to-try list showed me that I had the fixings for Navy Bean Soup […]

Today in the mail I recieved a package. As soon as I saw the familiar blue and white label, my heart started beating a little faster. I snatched that package and brought it into the house. Carefully I opened the other mail I had received, quickly recycling the unimportant, and […]

Today we returned to one of Andy’s favorite dishes. This recipe is one of the ones that really hooked me onto Cooking Light magazine. I had tried the magazine years ago when I was just out of high school and interested slightly in cooking. It really was nice, but for […]
