Let’s Eat – Egg in a Basket
My 22 year old son was about to cook some fried eggs and toast for breakfast the other day when he remembered an all-time favorite breakfast he used to eat at our neighbor’s house when he was a little kid. He didn’t know what it was called, but said it was a fried egg inside a hole in a slice of toast. Some quick googling and we discovered it’s called Egg in a Basket, Bird’s … Read entire article »

Subway Art – St. Patrick’s Day
I’m really loving this new decorating trend called Subway Art. I suppose it’s got it’s name because it mimics the graffiti found in the subways, only this version is a lot less messy and won’t land you in jail. I first noticed Subway Art in friends houses around Christmastime. I let the idea roll around in my brain for a few months and voila! out popped an idea. Yep, I’m … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Fat Tuesday means pancakes for dinner
“(Tuesday) is Fat Tuesday, and of course, this being America, it will be followed by Even Fatter Wednesday, Obese Thursday and Fat-A** Friday.” –Jay Leno How much do you love a holiday that has as it’s main objective encouraging you to pig out?

Liz’s rant: Confessions of a Lenten slacker
It’s pretty easy to write optimistically from carb-laden bloat. Easy to imagine giving up something for Lent – especially pancakes. But yesterday was Fat Tuesday after all. And while pancakes may seem an item I can give up for the next 40-some days, I must make a confession. I don’t like giving things up. Not by personal choice and not by force. But especially not by force. So when it comes to Lent, I start with ideas … Read entire article »
