Month: March 2006

It’s gray and drizzly outside this morning. I feel a little bad for Andy who is out working in this today. There’s a bit of a wind, so I’m sure the wet and the wind makes for an uncomfortable situation. Okay, I’m over feeling bad for him. Maybe I’ll make […]

Happy Spring!! I love spring. My kids love spring. And I love my kids. And now that it is spring, we are officially a happy family. The kids are so thrilled to be able to play outside. Zander especially. Abigail was playing outside anyway because of three recesses a day, […]

It’s got to be at leadt 50º outside today. Zander was out the back door by 9:00 this morning, just having a blast. That left me thinking that I really should learn some yoga, and get a mat. It was so nice outside…I could just see myself enjoying the morning […]

The sun was shining, the temperature was warm, it was a great day. Andy spent the afternoon helping the neighbor build a huge jungle gym. And the kids had their own fun. Zander had his own kind of fun after a very long nap. He needed the nap, but I […]

Last night I was pleasantly suprised with dinner. We usually have the small group of restaurants we like to frequent and stick with those. I was in the mood to try something different, something new. Our number one goal is kid friendly. Another good goal is someplace where Andy can […]

So there will not be a dinner report tonight. We are taking the evening off in the kitchen and taking the kids out to dinner and Barnes&Noble. I just wanted to post a little pat on the back to myself that I did do my workout today, and I also […]

Well, today I got around to making that Ciabatta. It turned out pretty good. The crust is extremely crispy on both the top and the bottom, while the inside is extremely moist and tender. A very interesting bread. Of course, it will make a fabulous sandwich, but I am really […]

I love asparagus. So when I opened up my brand new issue of Eating Well yesterday and found a veggie spread on asparagus, I knew I was in for a treat. I went back and forth on which one to try first, but a favorable review on the CLBB for […]

So much to discuss today!! But first, I must take care of some very, very exciting business! Congratulations to Anna G. from Cookie Madness!!! For anyone who doesn’t know, a fellow food blogger has WON the Pillsbury Cook-Off, taking home 1 million buckaroos! I almost had tears in my eyes […]

Sorry if you tuned in for a dinner report…dinenr tonight was a new recipe, and it was pretty good, but Andy and I both thought it needed something. So I plan to make it again sometime soon and I will post the recipe once I have it done right. 🙂Yesterday […]

Today was a very nice day. It was forcasted to be around 40º, but it must have been up over 50º. It was so nice, the kids spent the whole day outside. Literally. They should sleep very good tonight, all that running around… But since it was so nice, we […]

Well, we’re done jaunting for a while anyways. We are back from a very exhausting week. It really was a very nice funeral, it was so much more of a celebration of life than a time of mourning. It was wonderful to see family that we don’t see very often, […]
