More highs than lows, yay!  Let’s get right to it, My People. 1.  My Sis visited me this month (er, I mean last month, April).  That alone is awesome.  But guess what we did while she was here?  We went to the Bon Jovi concert!  We were in Heaven. At the time I didn’t have [...]

…and here is the photographic evidence: These two can’t stand each other.  They get in a fight just about every day.  Yet this morning they were caught sharing a bed.  They never ever share anything.  Except growls.

….And my the odds be ever in your favor! For the first year ever my husband cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal.  He has been gradually working up to it over the years and finally had the confidence to tackle it all himself.  This was a big relief to me, because as I may have mentioned [...]

Steam Punked

037

On Saturday I was minding my own business, steaming some veggies for breakfast.  Things started to smell a little crispy.  This aroma is unusual when cooking veggies in a steamer. This was so unusual that I thought I’d better investigate.  Whoa, Nelly.  The plastic basket that holds the veggies had MELTED!  My delicious, delectable veggies [...]
