This week I spent some time on the roof our our old house. I hate being on roofs and ladders. I'm not one of those people that likes heights and unstable ladders. Tony, on the other hand, it doesn't phase. Now I'm willing to do a lot of things. I've shoveled snow in sub-zero temperatures, [...]
I'm still recovering from last week's marathon of house work. My runs so far have been kinda crappy. Even so, I'd rather have a slower than normal run than no run at all. When we work out, we will have days where we're just not feeling it. The difference between someone who has made exercise [...]
I'm wondering if climate change is making mother nature forget what month it is. We've had two winter storms two weeks in a row. It's March, which should mean a gradual warm up. I guess now it means more snow. I love winter and I love snow, but in March I want to get the [...]
We just got internet installed at the new house. We have been in a dead zone for a long time. Being able to do a video chat for the first time was glorious. The WIFI is working, but the hard wired stuff is not. More testing to do, but we are cooking with gas! I [...]
The house is moving along. I am excited that I have a couple of new appliances coming this week. Finally, a working refrigerator that has a water dispenser with ice. No more working on hot days with warm water in my water bottle. I know it's first world problems, but the house gets pretty hot [...]
This weeks recipe came out of sheer curiosity. Flipping through recipes, as I always do, I ran across this one for Cheesy Marinara Beans. I never though about taking white beans and treating them in the spirit of lasagna. And why not? They can be used in that way. The only things I see that [...]
It's been years since I've had an ice cream sandwich. It's not the most gourmet of ice cream treats, but does it really have to be? Considering it's been wicked hot and isn't even July yet, I think this is the perfect time for these. I love them and miss eating them. I can make [...]
I have had a reprieve from working on the house for a couple of weeks. I have more flooring to put down, but I can't do that until Tony is done with the tile work. Good news, we will have a working toilet on both floors by the end of this weekend. That doesn't sound [...]
I got the floor laid. I managed to finish without busting up any more of my fingers. If you can afford not do, don't buy the Home Depot Trafficmaster laminate flooring. It's not worth the headache to install. Tony gets the easy flooring (the stuff that costs $2.39 a square foot versus 49 cents a [...]
I found this recipe as I was browsing through news articles. I stopped because of the recipe and stayed because of the great story behind it. Melissa Vickers came up with this recipe to help her grandfather satisfy his sweet tooth as well as get him to eat something healthier. Looking at the original recipe [...]
