Day 297 – Cupcakes

Yesterday Indigo made the announcement that we needed to have a party celebrating Garbanzo’s return home from camp.  She said there had to be balloons, cake and a special dinner. So, this morning, Indigo blew up balloons and brought then to me to tie. DJ made fun of Indigo.  But, in actually, DJ was jealous…

Salad Challenge Recipe: Corn Salad

If you read a few other blogs (and you probably do), you have noticed the great salad challenge has been brought up by several of us.  The gist, in case you missed it, is that we eat, for the next 90 days, a salad a day.   Salads include veggies – does not include things like…

Day 220 – Success?

It’s raining outside.  So, I thought I would go outside and get a picture of my brand new rain barrels gathering rain.  An action shot, if you will. But, instead, I captured this: Behind me, I hear “That’s right. Capture my failures on film.  Why can’t you capture instead the dinner I’m making you or…

Day 219 – TKD

Monday Nights, I meet the family at the taekwondo school after work.  I watch a little of DJ’s class, we eat, then watch Indigo. Tonight was a bit more chaotic because I was at work so freaking long.  I went in before 7am and left after 5pm – and maybe about 30 minutes for lunch. …

Day 217 – Gluttony

Gluttony is always the theme whenever we get together with our friends from college and their respective spouses.  We aim to get together every month, but it is more something we do on a quarterly basis.  Since everyone loves to cook (and eat and drink), we usually set a theme and see what comes out….

Day 211 – Salads

If you follow the lovely and talented ASM‘s blog, you may have heard about the Salad Challenge going on with our weight loss suppor group.  For the next 90 days, many of us will attempt to eat a salad a day.  Garbanzo and I started on Friday night.  So far, I am 3/3, but then…

The Incredible Edible Egg

The fact that my loving husband decided to raise chickens for eggs is a bit ironic for people who have known me for a very long time.  You see, until just recently, I would not eat eggs.  Sure, you could put eggs in a cake or cook with them in something,  But, no omelet for…

Friday Field Trip: Food Fun & Week in Review

ASM on her site usually does a Foodie Friday.  When I saw this site, I decided I must post it as a nod to her. Her recipes are much better than this one, but it was fun to look at, none the less. I bring you Fancy Fast Food – a site that takes fast…

Friday Field Trips

I read a blog called The Park Bench.  The site is dedicated to “nerdy women”.  I consider myself a geek, not a nerd, but that can become a discussion of semantics. Through her Thursday Randomness post, I discovered the Dr Seuss Parody Page. She had posted a link to the Dr Seuss Meets Star Trek. If…

Day 171 – Favorite Time of the Year

I love living in Oregon. This time of the year we, we start seeing fresh berries. Then will come the peaches and such. The only thing that would be better is if we grew them all ourselves. Oh well, that’s what the farmer’s markets are for.
