Another weekend came and went.  Tony made me one of his famous breakfasts on Saturday – this was breakfast and lunch. It was rainy, overcast and cold all weekend.  The kind of weekend where you just want to lay on the couch, under a blanket and just watch t.v., which was pretty much how we spent our Saturday.  Is it sad that today is Monday...

I was putting my food together yesterday morning and I saw it out of the corner of my eye.  Some unused pizza dough!  That instantly made me want breakfast pizza.  Never mind that I had this idea 15 minutes before I had to leave for work! I rolled out 2 ounces of dough, tomato sauce, a little gruyere cheese, sliced jalapeno, and while you can’t...

We were going to meet Joe and Lizz for lunch yesterday.  I wasn’t sure where we were going to go, so all I had for breakfast was a piece of my artisan bread toast. But it looked naked.  Then I remembered that I won some jelly from Veronica’s bake sale fundraiser for Suzie!   I won them from Eliot’s Eats.  I’ve tried commenting on the blog...

Joe and Lizz got stuck in Atlanta on Tuesday night – their flight was delayed from Austin, so they didn’t get to Chicago until yesterday morning.  I knew we were going to be meeting them out to for dinner to meet her parents, but I didn’t know where we were going so I decided to make my breakfast and lunch as healthy as possible. I...

Back to the grind this morning, although I can’t complain.  I had a great four days off and I have another three day week this week. In case you missed it, my step-son and his fiancé Lizz got married the Friday after Thanksgiving!  Just the two of them – but they’ll be coming up to Chicago on Wednesday.  With a whirl wind trip and lots...

I am loving all this time off of work.  I feel its been the best of all worlds – productive, lazy and family time! My Mom loves sweet potatoes.  Pretty sure there isn’t a way she doesn’t love them – except without melted marshmallows on top!  Is anyone a fan of that dish below? I told her I’d take the leftover yams she brought me...

I wanted to wait until it was official to blog about it – but today, my step-son Joe and his fiancé Lizz got married!! They got married at a Justice of the Peace and will be heading up to Chicago next week for a few days to celebrate.  I am very happy for them – they settled in Austin, Texas, bought a house over the...

It always depends on what’s going on at work – some years we get to leave early, and some days its just a regular day.  I’ll just have to wait and see! I realized this morning I’ve done nothing to prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow!  Haven’t made my pies, brined my turkey or anything.  Luckily there will only be five of us, so I am not...

The first job I ever got was at Dress Barn.  I thought the clothes were ugly, but I liked working the cash register.  One day, I walked to work and it was all dark and there was newspapers all over the windows.  I had to do a double take to make sure that I was in the right place! Of course, this was back before...

I changed my layout – what do you think?  Foodbuzz got bought out, so I got an email from the new advertisers giving me the codes to add it to the side of my blog.  Only one problem – I use wordpress.com, not wordpress.org and wordpress.com doesn’t allow me to add plugins.   Oh well! I love sleeping in on Saturday mornings!  Our bedroom has...
