Thursday afternoon I had something that I hadn’t eaten in a long time:  A good, old-fashioned, flashback to grade school peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich.  None of that healthy ”adult” thinking of putting it on whole wheat bread - oh no, it was built on white Bunny bread.  I didn’t even mentally calculate the calories [...]

Ohhh man! Have I got a website to tell you about? Well, actually it’s not so much the website that has me purring Ohhhh man as much as it is what the website can hook you up with.

Someone’s coming, going, returning and/or getting ready to take off again right up until suppertime. Since we work from home, my youngest daughter (Stephany) and I don’t get in on the foot racing quite as much [...]

How ridiculously perfect is this guy?! The Apple Dipper is next on my Gotta Have It list.
It’s cleverly designed to make caramel apples. It melts the caramel, then keeps it warm while your apple has it’s way with it. No microwave mess!
