Yes, I know, I’m a day late. Sorry about that. I’m traveling for work, so a little busier plus a time change. And, also because I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at the New Orlean’s School of Cooking. One of those things one takes advantage of when it arises. When I knew… Continue reading Cooking Class in the French Quarter

Long Day of Travel
Short post as it has been a long day of travel. Got to airport around 6 for flight at 8:00AM. Boarded and on time. Then went down hill from there. Needed de-iced. While that was happening, something odd happened with check oil light and they couldn’t get it back on. We had to go back… Continue reading Long Day of Travel
Can’t Believe Where I Am
So… Remember when I wrote about it being the end of an era with marching band a few months ago? Well, that has turned out to be only half true. Over the last three years our youngest has shown no interest in indoor winter marching. It appeared at first this would be the case again… Continue reading Can’t Believe Where I Am
Heart Day Is Coming
I’m not saying anything you don’t already know. I have a lot of kitchen gadgets and pans. If I’m in a kitchen store of any sort, I usually leave with something new. It just is how it is. Mind you, some of these must have gadgets don’t get used for a while. It may be… Continue reading Heart Day Is Coming
May I Have A Winning Lotto Ticket Please?
Growing up, people around me were often saying, “I wish I’d been more rich instead of good-looking!” As a young person, there were a few where I looked at them and wondered what made them think they were good-looking, not knowing any better. As I got older, and began to realize we were poor, that… Continue reading May I Have A Winning Lotto Ticket Please?
Legitimate Political Discourse
This is how the Republican Party is describing and showing their approval of the January 6th Insurrection, “Legitimate Political Discourse.” A major political party is siding with those who staged an insurrection, those who stormed the Capitol, those who were attempting a coup. What the Republican Party has said is it is okay to vandalize… Continue reading Legitimate Political Discourse
Slow Week in the Kitchen
This was an unusual week, meaning I didn’t do very much cooking or baking. With my husband now in-between jobs, he has made most of the meals this week for us. My call to action was last Sunday’s dinner. As usual, I had a craving or two. This time the cravings were cheese-stuffed shells and… Continue reading Slow Week in the Kitchen
Happy 18th Birthday!
No post today so I can help celebrate our youngest’s 18th Birthday. My husband and I got all of them over this finish line. May they all take what we’ve tried to teach and demonstrate to them to heart and become the best person they can be each and every day. Who knows, I may… Continue reading Happy 18th Birthday!
Spotify and Greed
In case you didn’t hear, Neil Young pulled his music from Spotify this past week after he had given an ultimatum to Spotify. He essentially said it is either his music or Joe Rogan, an extreme right-wing zealot. His premise, from my perspective was since Rogan is a large spreader of lies, or what is… Continue reading Spotify and Greed
The First Thing
Last week I wrote about my new mixer. I had pondered over what to make first. Well, surprisingly, it wasn’t banana bread. It ended up being blueberry muffins. I had a craving. After they went in the oven, I immediately made some zucchini bread. I had a craving. Then I made…just kidding. That was it.… Continue reading The First Thing
