Okay, that might be a little hyperbolic but I can't use it without setting half of the food on fire while the other half is still frozen. What happened you ask? The little doohicky broke that spins the plate. Now the plate won't spin. So I did what any rational person would do and I forgot about it for a few days. In fact I
Yes, it's that time again! Time to order your holiday treats!!!! Jayne has been bugging me about the Bourbon Balls for a few months now so even though it has been unseasonably warm in these parts, and I'm not really in the holiday spirit yet, it's going to sneak up on all of us so now is a great time to order these treats.

That happened after we got 6 inches of rain on Friday. Luckily all the furniture in the basement had already been ruined by the last flood
As promised, or threatened, here is my 'recipe' for Chocolate Chip Cookie Waffles. 1 tube Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough 1 waffle iron I set the waffle iron at medium heat, because I was guessing. I assumed the innards of the cookie wouldn't cook if the iron was set at high so we went for medium heat. Take about a handful of dough and place

I'm only 12 and a half hours into this and I don't know how I'm going to do it. The hard part isn't avoiding the foods I am giving up. The hard part is the
I have spent the whole weekend baking. I have been so busy baking that I was only able to listen to Armageddon on the TV. Except when I was rolling out the Bourbon Balls, I could do that in front of the television. I seriously need to get a life. I can recite almost all the dialog for that movie. It's pathetic really. My son
Some of you may have noticed that I rarely have pictures on my blog. I take pictures and I even upload them to my computer however I have yet to organize them and label them with names and dates (I know, big surprise). After two years of writing about them I thought it might be nice if you had some faces to put to the
That's a big lie. I have been stuck in the house with two sick kids for the past three weeks. As you know I haven't been feeling too good myself. Which might be the reason that, indeed, I find there are a lot of stupid questions. What's your favorite holiday? What's your favorite thing to do? What day is it? When will it be Halloween?
I planted brussel sprouts and zucchini this spring. I also planted tomatoes and a variety of herbs. I planted the brussel sprout too close together so they didn't do so well which is fine since I don't like them anyway. One of the seeds traveled a fair distance and got away from the crowd and actually produced real brussel sprouts. I don't believe in
I don't like bacon that much but I know a lot of people who love it. This year the Minnesota State Fair has decided to put it on a stick. You can read all about it here. Minnesota has been listed in the top places to live and raise kids and has placed on all sorts of those kinds of lists but I don't think
