Kate’s Escapades: Watermelon De-seeding 101
When I was at the store recently, the price of a seedless watermelon was 59 cents per pound and the price of a seeded watermelon was 19 cents a pound…a 40 cent per pound difference! In my never ceasing effort to make life in the kitchen easier for you (and me)…here is my quick and easy step by step method of turning a seeded watermelon into a delicious SEEDLESS snack for you and your family. … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – The Great Bachelorette Debate
I am having a great debate within myself. The intellectual, grown-up side of me (quit laughing, Liz) is telling me to be strong and resist temptation. The frivolous, immature side of me is telling to just give in. It’s just once a week. What will it hurt, after all? What is the cause of this worrisome dilemma? Well, it’s the start of a new season of The Bachelorette, of course. I know. I know. Don’t even … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an Adventure to the Circus
Last week my daughter came home from work with some circus coupons which basically said, and I paraphrase, “If you pay a small fortune for an adult ticket and promise us your next born child, we’ll let your kid in for free”. Always a sucker for a “good deal” like that, I rounded up the troops and headed out for an evening of good, old fashioned, controversial family entertainment. Here is where I should tell you … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Welcome to Dullsville, USA
It’s official. I live right smack-dab in the middle of the dullest place in America. Well, that’s what the fine folks at Portfolio.com have decided anyway. It seems that they gathered up some federal statistics from 14 types of businesses, plugged them all into a formula (probably involving x’s, y’s and a few random square roots and pi’s) and have come up with the result of Provo, Utah, being dead last on the list of “fun” … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – How to make fabric flower accessories
Last week I went to the Women’s Expo held at the McKay Event Center in Orem, UT., to see my daughter model some cute clothes from Peppermint Pockets. So while I was there I couldn’t resist taking a stroll through the booths to see what was new and hot this year for the woman who wants to be hip and stylish. This season it’s all about the accessories..big earrings, big necklaces, big purses, big rhinestone … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – let the Eclipse countdown begin…
I just realized that it has been a REALLY long time since I’ve written a post on anything related to The Twilight Saga. In fact, it’s probably been a good three months since I’ve even typed the word “Eclipse” into the Google bar. And truthfully, even though I have an Eclipse countdown at the bottom of my very own website, I’ve even lost track of how long until Eclipse premiers on June 30, 2010. Fyi…63 … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – to flush or not to flush
Today dear readers, I am stooping to a new all-time personal low here on Coffee Break. (Liz reached this low months back with her Gotta go? story.) Until now, I have refrained, suppressed and tolerated, but I think it’s high time we bring a problem of this magnitude out into the open. Surely others of you have found yourselves in the same uncomfortable predicament. So what’s my topic for today? Automatic flush toilets in public restrooms, … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Refreshing Brazilian Lemonade
What better way to ease into spring than sitting on a porch swing, listening the the birds sing, and sipping a delicious refreshing Brazilian Lemonade? Here’s something that you may not know…Brazilian Lemonade doesn’t actually contain any lemons? It’s true. It’s made from limes. I’m not sure why they didn’t just name it Brazilian Limeade. Makes a whole lot more sense to me, but unfortunately, no one consulted me in the naming of my favorite sunny … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure:
Muse Resistance Tour 2010
A few months ago I found my daughter on the internet scouring websites for tickets to the upcoming Muse concert. She is a huge Muse fan, as are most of her friends. It just so happens that I am also a huge Muse fan. I wanted to say to her, “I want a ticket. I want to go, too,” but not wanting to rain on her I’m-going-to-a-concert-with-my-friends-parade, I kept my silence. As concert time got closer, … Read entire article »
