I finished the lower half of my pantry today and that means all of my food storage areas are clean and organized. All at the same time, even. Bottom drawer of pantry – before: Upper drawer of lower pantry – before: Bottom drawer – after: Upper drawer – after: Now one thing is apparent. I…
Freezer fun
Today I finally tackled the chest freezer. It actually wasn’t that bad due to the “Freezer Thawing Episode of Fall ’11”. We lost everything in our crammed to the gills freezer during a laundry room remodeling oversight so I was only dealing with stuff I’ve managed to toss in over the past couple of months….
Organizing for success
I didn’t get as much done today as I had hoped. I had another episode of hives during the night and was left with a Benedryl-hangover this morning. I went back to sleep after David left and slept another couple of hours. I’ve been dragging all day so I scaled back my plans. I did…
Creative cooking
I mentioned in my Menu Monday post that I am embarking on a little challenge of sorts. You can read more about it here. In short, I will be purchasing very little this month and therefore will be challenging myself to create interesting meals from what I have on hand. Last night I made homemade eggrolls…
New Year’s Eve
I’ve been in absentia largely due to a stupid asthma attack which has lingered the past two weeks. There was also a pretty impressive case of hives one night, too. But I’m not letting that keep me down. We went out with friends last night and we are getting ready to paint the town tonight….
A wee bit of Christmas

Getting there!
I’m trying to catch my breath – literally. I’ve been dealing with an asthma attack this past week which has really put a damper on my Christmas plans. We were going to my niece’s and nephew’s Christmas program Monday night but I ended up doing a breathing treatment instead. I was so disappointed that I…
New Orleans Pictures
It was a whirlwind of a trip. Yeah, I know, ten days sounds like a long trip but it went by in a flash of friends, food and frolic. I didn’t even take very many pictures this time but here are some of them: I had been craving raw oysters since my trip with Roz…
It’s a Wonderful Life
My favorite Christmas movie is the classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Ever since the kids were very young we have had a tradition of watching it together as soon as we get the tree up. It’s one of my very favorite things we do as a family. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned on Facebook…
