Kate goes on an adventure to the Demolition Derby!
Well, I did it again! I got my white trash fix for the year at the annual county fair demolition derby this past weekend. Really, can you think of any single event that is more white-trashy than watching spray painted clunker cars smash each other to smithereens? Nope, I didn’t think you could. And before you get all up in arms here at my use of the term “white trash”, let me assure I mean … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure –
Guy Fieri style (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives)
I confess to being a fan of the Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Really, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned, high-fat, carb-laden meal from a hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon diner once in a while? A few months ago while on our family vacation, we took a day off from Disneyland to slow down with a relaxing trip to Ventura, California. When lunchtime came, much to my family’s chagrin I steered them past … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Quirky Observations
I’ve just returned home from a wonderful two weeks at Liz’s house. We did plenty of playing around, but also squeezed in some concentrated effort on a cookbook we are making, In the Kitchen with Liz and Kate: Practically Painless Recipes. (FYI…We’ll be taking pre-orders within a week or two, and they will be available for Christmas.) While there I couldn’t help but notice some quaint and quirky observations about the differences between my current state … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Not now! I’m burying a young girl.
I have survived yet another family vacation. My family (minus one kid, but plus 2 friends – for a grand total of 10 people) spent a glorious week in southern California. We had a blast spending 3 days at Disneyland, 2 days at the beach, and we even spent a day enlightening our minds at the Getty Museum. One of the highlights of every family vacation is adding to our family quote book. Perhaps this is … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – “On the news, a family dies”
“On the news, a family dies…” That is an actual quote from my then 7-year-old son during a vacation in Arizona. It’s one of my favorite quotes from my family’s vacation quote book. Yep, we actually collect random and ridiculous vacation quotes taken completely out of context, just because we say so many dumb things while traveling together. Reading through them helps us remember fun times and makes us laugh at ourselves. Here’s the story of … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Do you believe in the Vacation Fairy?
Okay guys (and by guys, I don’t mean people in general, I actually mean guys, as in the gender laden with testosterone) this post is basically meant for you. But if you fit within the estrogen half of the population, I think you might just want to read along for kicks. Guys, do you believe in the vacation fairy? You must, right? What other explanation could there possibly be for magically getting from point A, where … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Which is better, 1 or 2?
Every single time I go in to the eye doctor’s office to refill my contact prescription, I get basically the same response from the lady at the front desk. “I’m sorry Kate, it seems your prescription expired 2 months ago.” Or… “Oh, it looks like your due for an exam.Your prescription expired 3 weeks ago.” Or… “Too bad you didn’t find a closer parking spot, Kate. Your prescription expired 43 seconds ago!” Every. Single. Time. And thus the tone is set for … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – National Doughnut Day
If you’ve come to Coffee Break today looking for my weekly movie review…surprise! No review today. That’s because the big movie opening this weekend is “Killers”, and the folks in charge at Lionsgate have decided not to allow advance screenings for critics. They would prefer to let the audience decide if they like the movie and then let the word spread on Twitter and Facebook. Imagine that! “We want to capitalize on the revolution in social … Read entire article »
