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 »

It’s all about the GREEN! Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Second glance – Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming up this Saturday, this post from last year is worth a second glance. It’s a great way to celebrate the holiday with an all green meal. (Or perhaps you’d prefer this meal featuring GREEN chicken or this GREEN breakfast idea.) Today is St. Patrick’s Day. As you probably know, I’m all about the holidays.

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? I’m talking about Fat Tuesday, of course, which just happens to be today. Or perhaps in this politically correct day and age, we should call it “big-boned Tuesday” or possibly “full-figured Tuesday”. You … Read entire article »

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 »

Kate’s Escapades – Football 101
(What every girl needs to know about football)
How many football players are on the field for a team at any given time? How many points does a team get for a touchdown? Confused about the difference between a punt, a kick-off and a field goal?

Liz’s rant: 10 ways to just say no to the nail stalkers
Maybe it’s just me, but ever since the little nail kiosk appeared in the mall, walking from store to store has become more an obstacle course with one mission: Avoid the girls at the nail kiosk at all costs. Maybe you’ve run into them. They’re the ones who hunt down every person who passes by their booth with a seemingly innocent, “May I ask you a question?” Memorize this word, dear readers: No. Because should you answer in … Read entire article »
