With my life right now getting thrown for a loop, the only thing that keeps me sane is my workouts. My mother in law right now is taking away some of my time. The current government can take away my job. No one can take away my exercise progress. My new running goal is to [...]
I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
I guess I am now a fashion consultant. Not only did my mother in law want me to do her makeup, I was also tasked with picking out her outfit for dancing. I don't need to change my profession yet. Tony is not equipped to handle these tasks. While he's not a man who is [...]
This week I spent some time working on my car. It was a heater core flush. What can happen in a car over time is gunk gets trapped in the heater core and causes the heat to not work. Now, it could also be the thermostat, but a flush should do the trick. Essentially it's hooking up some clear [...]
I have been a pie making fool. I made four pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. One of these pies is a favorite among the family. I make a gingersnap crust out of the America's Test Kitchen Gluten Free Ginger Snaps. Everyone loves this one. So much so that Tony asked for a sweet potato pie with [...]
I am doing another dessert this week because I have way to many frozen meals and I need to pare them down. Who doesn't love more dessert? I'm still keeping these on the simple side because we have some friends we are entertaining this week and I have to change the brake pads on my [...]
I thought about doing a different recipe this week, but I had some white wine left over from last week. I decided to do something different that uses that. When I buy wine for a recipe, I usually buy something relatively inexpensive. Many cooks also say, use something you would drink. I think they are [...]
Here is another week where the house presents more problems. Luckily, I am well aware of how old houses work. This problem is actually in something new. The new plumbing under our kitchen sink was jury-rigged together by a friend who knew more about plumbing. Well, it's now leaking. Tony is working on making a [...]
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 [...]
Now that we are into the new year, hopefully if you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that I think New Years resolutions are the wrong thing to do. If not, here are my posts about New Years resolutions and what I think about them. My thoughts on New Years resolutions [...]
