The Making of the Fruitcake
So, the fruitcake… Recall, if you will, that this bowl of festivity soaked up its Amaretto goodness in my refrigerator for about two days prior to The Making of the Fruitcake. The actual Making of the Fruitcake went well. I searched for quite some time until I found the recipe that I thought sounded most like…

The Food Post That Almost Wasn’t
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I did not fall off the planet and into a black hole. And despite the fact that I really hate when I hear myself say “I’ve been busy” in response to a question about what I’ve been doing or how I am, the truth is that we really have…

Who Knew?
What did we ever do without Google? I find it simply fascinating that Googl-ing is verb – as in to Google something. Ask a question to which no one in the near vicinity knows the answer and some wise soul will suggest that you “Google it” to find the answer. I like verbs. I like doing. People…

Five Friday Favorites (on Monday) – Thanksgiving Weekend Edition
I probably could have called this the “broken” edition of Friday Favorites considering we have a broken microwave and at least two other things around the house that need to be repaired. Do wild animals live here? Instead, I have simply collected my favorites from this long holiday weekend in hopes that it will make…

Put On Your Thanksgiving Pants!
There’s no way around it. No matter who you are, what you eat for Thanksgiving dinner, where you go or whom you spend it with, Thanksgiving is all about food. You don’t even have to like the holiday, but eventually, everybody’s gotta eat.

Soup of the Week – Bridal Edition
It is time once again for Soup of the Week! I know, I know…the last edition of Soup of the Week was way more than a week ago. There was this little inconvenience called Super-Obnoxious-Storm Sandy in there so we were without power for a few days. Then there was the week of dealing with the…

Not On A School Night!
I can still hear my Mom’s voice responding to whatever the current request was at the moment… “Can we watch a TV show that comes on at ten o’clock?” Not on a school night. “Can we make brownies?” Not on a school night. “Can Susie Bestfriend sleep over?” Not on a school night. “Then can I…

Friday Favorites (on Saturday)
I love Friday nights. There is something about the start of a few days with no commitments, no obligations, and only the possibility of filling it with whatever you choose to do or not do, as the case may be. Somehow Friday was the longest day ever. Usually, the day flies by pretty fast for me,…

A New Favorite
Can’t lie. Despite my much-needed afternoon off, I am still feeling a bit whirlwindish. Yes, that’s a word. English majors are allowed to make up words whenever it suits them. It’s in the handbook. Anyway… It’s Thursday so I’m joining Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop again. This week I opted for the easy prompt. (Told you…can’t…

Soup of the Week – Pilot Edition
I know that I inherited my love of autumn from my Mother. Nobody loves this season quite like my Mom – I am certain of it. The second that the first waft of cooler air passes by, she throws open the windows and puts a pot of stew on the stove. Mom is also good…
