My Last Meal
Mr. Benz posed this question to his Twitter followers: Test time. Tomorrow you die in the electric chair. What is your absolute last meal? I did not answer via Twitter, because this is not something I can say in 140 characters. Seriously. Now, I don’t know the rules of a last meal or how specific…

Mac and Cheese
I am not one of those people who go crazy for mac and cheese…certainly not the kind from a blue box anyway. (Or any recipe that includes Velveeta, barf.) But there are 2 restaurants in town that make *killer* mac and cheese. The first is Bourbon Street. Their mac and cheese is creamy and tasty…

Doubly Yolky
I have maybe seen 2 double-yolked eggs in my entire life. That is until a couple of weeks ago. The last time I was grocery shopping, I bought extra large eggs instead of the regular large that I typically buy. When I cracked the first one, it was a double-yolk. I thought it was a…

Thanksgiving
I know it’s a bit early, but I just want to say that I am SO looking forward to Thanksgiving. It’s easily my favorite holiday. I love the food! And it is such a nice relaxing holiday. You fix a big meal, everyone gathers around, talks, eats and then you nap. What could be better?…

S-t-r-e-t-c-h
As I get older, I am finding that I need to stretch more and more. I do simple yoga moves and a few stretches I learned in dance class. Here is my standard routine: Laying on the back:1. Knee to chest, alternating legs.2. Both knees and let them drop halfway to the ground on one…

Netflix – Watch Instantly
I am addicted to Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” feature. Basically, if you have an “unlimited” account (these are not the most expensive accounts either), you can access a portion of the Netflix collection online and watch them on your computer. The newest releases are not usually available and the selection is somewhat limited, but they are…

NaBloPoMo
November is National Blog Posting Month, are you in? The challenge: Post everyday for the month of November. Some days it is harder than others, but in the end you will be very happy that you did it. And who knows, you may even learn something about yourself. So come on…there are not really any…

Over-achiever
I know full well that you are supposed to set reasonable goals for yourself, reasonable expectations as to what you will do by when. So why is it that I always have huge grandiose ideas about what I can get done in a short amount of time. Mind you, sometimes I reach those lofty goals…

Sooz
My cousin Susan died last week. It was sudden and unexpected, and the shock seems as hard to take as the loss. She was one of my favorite relatives. She was a fabulous cook, a great singer, an awesome storyteller. She was witty, loving, and just about as straightforward as a person could be. She…

Neti Pot
Sinuses are such fun! I am so glad we have them, but when they are all plugged up or are giving me a headache, it sucks. So I decided to spend $14 and listen to Dr. Oz (just love that guy) and try the Neti Pot. If you haven’t heard of it, let me explain:…
