Yep, mark it an your calendars – I won a costume prize for the 4th year in a row!  Before I get to this year, my co-worker said she didn’t mind me posting the pictures from when we were lesbians for Halloween!  And the funny thing is, when we were looking at these pictures, we both remarked “what do our outfits have anything to do...

I have to admit, the first year I worked at the law firm I worked at now, and they said we dressed up for Halloween, in the back of my head I envisioned myself being the only one dressed in costume and everyone having a laugh on me!  (Did anyone see Modern Family Wednesday night – that’s what I was thinking!) But we do dress...

Tony and I went to his yearly knee doctor appointment.  We live in the far NW suburbs of Chicago, and his doctors office is in Chicago on North Marine drive – it took us an hour and 40 minutes to get there with traffic! First I have to say that I am the WORST back seat driver you’ll ever meet.  I don’t think Tony or...

What a stormy day we had yesterday!  It was so windy yesterday morning, I told Hannah not to go to school – she drives through some open roads through farms to get to school – there were tornado warnings.  The power flickered on and off a few times before I left for work. At 9:30, Tony called me to say our power was out –...

I was wondering who Dave from My Year on the Grill was going to pick for the next BSI host this week – can I just say how happy he was to throw it back my way in honor of Week 100 of Blogger Secret Ingredient!  Check out the BSI Page to get the facts here. I have to clarify though – I did not...

I am sure every parent of young children at one point in time or another, can’t wait for the day when their child is self sufficient and on their own.  The nights when they get up every hour on the hour and you wonder if you’ll ever get a full nights sleep again. But then all of a sudden that time is here.  Hannah is...

Tony and I love getting in the car, driving in a direction, and just seeing where we end up for lunch.  Some times its a hit, and sometimes its a dud – yesterday was a hit! But first, I made Artisan bread bagels!  I had leftover dough on my counter.  I added a bit more flour, then divided the dough into six bagels.  I boiled...

I thought it was a genius idea to choose leftovers as this weeks BSI – thanks for hosting this week Dave! I had another breakfast pizza for breakfast, except when I got to work, I forgot an egg for the top! So I think I am pretty good using leftovers.  I recently made yankee pot roast soup with a leftover roast.   When I looked in...

But first you have to read about my breakfast and lunch 😀 But before I go any further THANK YOU for all of your suggestions on a lower sodium diet – the links and ideas are extremely helpful and will be put to good use – thanks! I made my co-worker a loaf of rosemary bread – this loaf has no salt in it at...

A co-worker of mine, for medical reasons, needs to be on a very low sodium diet – no more than 1000 to 1500 mg a day.  Do you have any idea how hard that is?  Sodium is everywhere! Right now I have a loaf of artisan bread, omitting the salt – and last night I tried to make her a baked potato soup using a...
