It’s Christmas time. A time of good cheer, merriment and warm fuzzy feelings. I do not forget the reason for the season. The birth of my Savior. But I also am inclined to enjoy the warmth of all that the season offers. Friends, family, food, frivolity and--decorating. More so in years past, but still I trudge out to the storage shed and retrieve the priceless family … [Read more...]

Now that the big November day has passed and we are into left overs about a week, let’s talk turkey. Sandwiches, cold turkey sandwiches. If you are above a certain age, you should remember Dagwood, from the comic strip Blondie. Ole Dagwood could make the biggest stuffed sandwiches imaginable. The Dagwood Hero has roots that can only be said to be “belly busters.” Is that … [Read more...]

I don’t know about you but I can stand in a store and read every cute sign, cup, poster or printed note carried by a ceramic chicken tucked under one wing on a ceramic sign. I giggle at most of those little funnies. There are a few that I just scratch my head at. We all have minds that work independently. That’s what makes us all, us. That little bit if difference is the salt … [Read more...]

There are things that I think most of us might agree with. Like after a great meal of perfectly yummy tacos most of us have said, “Man I could eat nothing but tacos for the rest of my life.” I know I’ve heard something along those lines by others over the years. Like having chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and really cold milk for every meal from now until the end of … [Read more...]

Yes, there are those among us that never seem to worry about what size to pick up when shopping for new jeans. They usually just pic a pair of size 10 or my stars a size 0! While I in my life I grab at least a 12 and work up from there. We shall not even talk about tops. AARRGGHH However I have recently seen this posted here and there from my silly friends on Facebook, “I don’t … [Read more...]

I have the cutest little candy dish on a counter in my kitchen. It is clear glass, holds about a package of Hersey’s Cookie and Cream chocolate kisses and maybe a few Dark Chocolate Caramel Rolos candies. The thing that makes it so cute is that it has little glass feet on it. I added it to my menagerie of dishes and do dads that found a home with me along my life’s trail. The … [Read more...]

As the saying goes, “There’s always room for Jell-O.” Well, I am here to tell you that no matter how much you eat in the next few celebratory holiday dazed days, there will always be room for pie! I have seen this played out many times. After the last platter, bowl, plate, basket and gravy boat is taken off the table, out comes the pie. Now come on, admit it. In our … [Read more...]
