Personal Reflections of a Middle-Aged Man

Thoughts and Opinions as I Grow Older

Month: March 2022

No-Bake or -Make Week

March 31, 2022March 31, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Other than when traveling, I almost always make or bake something several times a week. I was neither traveling nor in the kitchen very much this week. It is a little odd to say that out loud. I’m not entirely sure of what is going on. I keep thinking about what I’d like to make.… Continue reading No-Bake or -Make Week

Binge Addict

March 29, 2022March 29, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Netflix, Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Food Network Go, Paramount, HGTV Go, are the devil’s work. Most, if not all, lend themselves to some good ol’ binge watching. It is so easy to plop oneself down on the couch, grab the remote, and sit. Sit for hours as the shows queue themselves up, one… Continue reading Binge Addict

The Urgency of Vigilance

March 26, 2022March 26, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

There are oftentimes when I will have one of those no-brainer, “Duh!,” thoughts. Yesterday on my way home from work, I had one of those times. It hit me after a couple of headlines about transgendered youth and another abortion restriction law being passed in a couple of states. These were also reminders of how… Continue reading The Urgency of Vigilance

Chicken and Noodles

March 24, 2022March 24, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Such a simple meal, but oh so good. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the chicken this evening. My first thought was to either grill it, or fry it. It would be placed over a bed of noodles that had been sautéed in a dash of garlic infused olive oil. Instead,… Continue reading Chicken and Noodles

Religion in Politics

March 22, 2022March 22, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

I often ponder if I’m the only person who wonders about religion, politics, Armageddon, and current social constructs. Did you know there has been a slow decline in Americans who are members of a church, synagogue, or mosque since the 1940s, then a bit of a drastic decline since 2000 (I believe this to be… Continue reading Religion in Politics

Eight Months To Go

March 19, 2022March 19, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

Mid-term elections are just eight months away. An election that will either continue the rebalancing of the American experiment, or help us on our slide toward authoritarianism. I’m still not quite sure which way it will go. I suspect it will be the slide toward authoritarianism. The Democrats have never been great at telling a… Continue reading Eight Months To Go

Splenda Is Not Sugar

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Last weekend something happened that hasn’t happened during my adult years of living on my own. I went to make some No Bake Cookies only to discover, gasp, I didn’t have enough sugar to do so. I needed four cups and I only had two. Usually I have a bag in reserve, always. Not this… Continue reading Splenda Is Not Sugar

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

When I was in the classroom, at the beginning of each March, we would predict on the last day of February, how March would come in. There is the old wives’ tale or other myth, that if March came in like a lion (horrible weather), it would go out like a lamp (very Spring-like) or… Continue reading In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

The Lesson We’ve Taught

March 12, 2022March 12, 2022 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

We continue to see the bombarding of Ukraine by the Russian aggressors. We continue to witness the destruction of a democracy by an authoritarian. We continue to do everything but what is needed. Putin does not care if the people of Russia suffer. Putin does not care if the people of Russia die. Putin only… Continue reading The Lesson We’ve Taught

Volume Six Has Arrived

March 10, 2022March 10, 2022 Posted in Frank in the KitchenLeave a comment

Doesn’t that cover just have your mouth watering from the get go? Ever since I saw the first volume in Costco, I’ve been in love with the Bake From Scratch cookbooks. They are a collection of almost all of the recipes from their magazine of the same name. Although I know the recipes will be… Continue reading Volume Six Has Arrived
