Things My Grandfather Told Me
My Grandfather told me a lot of things. He told me I was beautiful and smart. I know there were times I didn’t believe him. But sometimes I did. He told me I could do just about anything if I set my mind to it. So far, that has proved to be completely true. My…

The Ten Best Meals of Our Marriage
As difficult as this is to narrow down to a mere ten, I was intrigued enough by Stasha’s Monday Listicles topic to enlist the help of the Fab Hub to help me try. This family loves good food and we have had many good meals. But if we had to pick ten of the best…

A Standing Date

Sunday Dinner
I cried over my dinner tonight. It wasn’t that it was horrible. In fact, it was quite good. Roast beef cooked all day in the slow cooker until it fell apart with just a touch of the fork. Fluffy mashed potatoes with real butter and real milk whipped up just so with the electric mixer.…

Five Friday Favorites – Random Monday Edition
I started this list last Wednesday thinking I would be all set to publish on Friday. Didn’t happen. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have five things on the list. Maybe it’s because we were busy doing a hundred other things. Who knows? At any rate, better late than never, here are this last week’s favorites – completely…

Unintentional Hiatus
This is unprecedented. I haven’t cooked a real meal in my own kitchen (or anyone else’s) in…let’s see…eight days. I don’t think that has ever happened before.
