Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

I’m having a little dinner party tomorrow night.  It’s a “thank you” dinner party. 
 I’ve mentioned that I work for my state’s Dept. of Children’s Services.  I was a case manager for foster care the first three years I worked for the department.  What that means is that I worked with children and families trying to [...]

Food Network

I imagine this is going to come as no surprise to you folks.  But I’m addicted to Food Network!  I love it!  Shocker?  If it is, you’re awfully new around here!  LOL  Food Network is practically the only thing I watch.  God bless the DVR because I can record all the shows I can’t watch [...]

Let Them Eat Cake

I promised you cake today!!!!!  And cake you shall have!  Well, sorta.  I feel compelled to warn you that licking your monitor can do serious damage to your computer and possibly result in a grievous shocking incident to your tongue.  So I HIGHLY discourage the practice of monitor licking in an attempt to taste the [...]

Favorites……

Let’s talk about some favorites today.  My favorite brother is sick with the evil death disease I had last week.  Well, he’s actually my ONLY brother, but he’s still my favorite.  He’d be my favorite even if I had 12 brothers.  Cuz he’s just favorite-worthy that way.  And he’s sick.  Did I mention that he’s [...]

Monday Q & A: February 25, 2008

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Monday morning, friends!  It’s good to have last week in the rear view mirror!  That is definitely one week I don’t care to ever repeat thankyouverymuch!  Whatever hit our house is as close to hell as I care to come!  WHEW! 
So let’s move on, shall we?  Let’s dish!  Some questions from this week:
Are there [...]

Beef Stroganoff

YOO HOO!  Anybody home around here?  Sorry to leave you hanging like that.  It’s been a rough few days around my house.  First I came down with the death disease, then the smallest ankle biter came down with it.  It just ain’t been a fun week around our house!  I hope you all can avoid [...]

Homemade Soup—The Best Medicine

I’m still sick.  Yippee!  And now Ankle Biter #2 is too!  Double Yippee! 
I’ve been so sick this week, I think I’d have to get better to DIE.  Think hacking up a lung, throat so sore it feels like you ate shards of glass then downed a rubbing alcohol chaser, nose running, head splitting, aching all [...]

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

We were supposed to have Buffalo Chicken Lasagna last night for dinner.  That’s what I put on the menu anyway.  But I woke up feeling like total, complete and utter crap yesterday morning.  YIPPEE!  It’s always fabulous to feel nasty on a holiday from work.  Especially when TSM took a vacation day so we could go have some fun.  So [...]

Monday Q & A: February 18, 2008

Well, not a single question all week long!  LOL  But loads of groovy comments!
TSM wishes to thank everyone for the birthday wishes……..well, actually I wish to thank everyone for wishing TSM a happy birthday because TSM is a bit elderly and senile at his advanced age…….he’s a whole 9 months older than me so I [...]

Birthday Boy……

How ’bout some  birthday photos? 

Not the best photo, but the birthday boy was a bit hungry and not the slightest bit concerned with making sure his burger was properly photographed!  LOL  But this is the completed Bacon Cheeseburger on steriods!

And his birthday cake……….Pardon the fact that it’s leaning a bit…….That cheesecake was mighty honkin’ heavy [...]
