I’ve Killed Another Microwave

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

Death in the Family

And it's all my fault. I killed the hermit crabs. At least I think I did. It's hard to tell since they don't do anything. Hermit crabs aren't like the cat or the dog. If you forget to feed or water then they make noise, they drink out of the toilet, they throw their bowl around until someone notices and feeds them. I

How Can You Tell When The Pasta Is Ready?

Most cooking directions for pasta will tell you to cook the noodles for 7-10 minutes to get al dente pasta. Al dente pasta is pasta that is firm but not crunchy. Most of the time I end up with mushy pasta because I don't use a timer, I will glance at the clock over the stove, so I know how long to cook the noodles,

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

Thanksgiving Recap

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I had a comedy of errors for mine and even took a picture for you. My son loves watching the food channels and announced that he wanted to brine the turkey this year.

I’m addicted to diet coke

I didn't realize this until I ran out of it. I haven't had a diet coke in over 24 hours and I have a massive headache and I am really tired. I have tried coffee to perk me up but that just gets me too jittery. This sucks. I could run to the store to buy some but frankly I want to know how long

Not a Mommy Blog

When I started this blog I wasn't sure what or where it would go. I did know that I didn't want a cutsie pink mommy blog. The web is filled with those already, I didn't need to add more saccharin to the internet. However, I have to say I love my kids. More importantly I like my kids. Okay the five year old can be
