Pork. It’s what’s for dinner.

Last week, after a really crappy day, P came home and made me dinner.  I give him a lot of credit, a bad day, then cooking and trying a new recipe to boot.  Later in the week, I had a couple days from hell and couldn’t return the favor.  I literally would have burst into [...]

KITTIES!

I had been promising Marianne a kitty post for a while…so here it goes!
Oscar has gotten so big and he is a terror.  He always attacks poor Purl.

Purl is just as pretty as usual.

And this is Jaba, P’s other cat.  It’s like kitty Brady Bunch over [...]

When Marianne and I were in Bar Harbor this past year, we had dinner at a restaurant that served Purple Jasmine Sticky Rice.  Marianne said that it wasn’t what she thought it should taste [...]

Rib-a-Roni

This past weekend I went to a belated Christmas celebration with my man, who I’ll nickname P for blog purposes.
He has two younger cousins and I figured it would be easy to make them a little something as a gift.  For his female cousin, I gave her one of my felted bags with a brooch [...]

AW! So damn sweet.

Something happened to me yesterday.  A “first” of sorts in fact.  I’ve been at my company for nine years now and this is the first time this has happened.
I was sitting at my desk and my phone rang.  It was the kind of ring that indicates it’s an outside call.  When I answered, the caller [...]

An appetizer to die for…

My man has a “famous recipe” for an appetizer dish that is a hit at all parties.  I was skeptical at first, but it is in fact very good.
My I present, the Heart Attack Appetizer Hot Dogs Wrapped in Bacon…
First you make the barbecue sauce consisting of equal parts ketchup and brown sugar.

Then you cut [...]
