The Puerto Rican bought me an ice cream maker for my birthday three years ago. I was so excited I could hardly stand it. I had visions of making ice cream every weekend, knowing that homemade ice cream is superior to anything purchased. Our first attempt was vanilla. Things didn’t go too well, the “custard” [...] 
Yesterday was The Lovely Co-Worker’s birthday. The Lovely Co-Worker has been on a very strict healthy lifestyle eating program since February (and I swear she looked great before, even more stunning now) and hasn’t had a drop… not a single sweet nibble of sugar since she started this healthy lifestyle way of eating. So I had [...]
The Husband and I eat copious amounts of soup; but even I will admit that the thought of chili in the dead of summer is almost repulsive. Unless, of course, it’s Green Chili with Pork and Hominy. The flavors in this chili are so fresh and vibrant, it tastes good all year round. Growing up Mom [...] I had great hopes when we PCS’d here that I would get to spend evenings with The Husband. I made him promise before we left Fayettenamville that he’d walk with me in the evenings, sit and have dinner at a decent hour and share in fun activities. A year into this, and it’s the same old pattern. The Husband [...] Seven years ago, sitting on my parent’s front porch on a snowy winter night I asked The (future) Husband what he wanted in life. I inquired of his goals, dreams, ambitions. His response was that he wanted to fly. I made a promise to him that night (I know naive, but I was 20!) that together, we would accomplish his [...] Hey you! You know who you are. Won’t you come have a coffee with me? I miss you more than mere words can express. You’re the friend I can’t write about because leaving you in Fayettenamville hurt like hell. I swear we were cut from the same mold. Who else can walk into Gap, wander [...] To The Neighbor’s new house we go! It’s a bittersweet time in the Cat’s Pajamas hood. My neighbor has lived in our picturesque community for the last year while she, her husband and 4(!) kids built a new home a few miles away. Our time together as neighbors is coming to an end, but our friendship I’m [...] Yesterday was the beginning of my 27th year on this great earth. The husband spent the day avoiding me making me think he’d forgotten my birthday. I came home to a wonderful surprise though… Decorated Dining Room (The Freezer isn't staying in the dining room) I know I need to vacuum, especially after three cakes [...] If I told you I love cornbread, it would be an understatement. Like peanut butter, I have to refrain from going anywhere near cornbread. I will eat the whole pan. The Mom used to make cornbread in a pyrex pie plate (say that 3 times fast!) so that’s my preferred cornbread shape. For the Barefoot [...] Photo by Warren Zinn I remember when this photo was published in The Fayetteville Observer. I can’t tell you the day or the month, but I can vividly recall the feelings I had. The Husband and I were married for five weeks before he came to my office and said he was leaving. He was gone within [...] |
