Aside note: DH & I have a restaurant, so I’m allowed to [...]

Bought some more “Vitamuffins”: ummm good! Quick, easy bre-fess. Made waffles for the boys and remembered why I don’t do it more often. How do you properly clean a waffle maker if you can’t submerge it? I have a dinky little 4-square waffle maker, nothing as grand as my Mom’s. Now THAT was a waffle [...]

Took son and a friend of his to tour his newly renovated school. We were impressed. Big, airy hallways, new furniture, floors as shiny as mirrors. We ALL agreed it will be great getting back to school! We peeked into the big empty auditorium and son immediately kicked off his flip-flops and ran down the [...]

Son has a bud staying overnight tonite, and I had what I thought was a brainstorm for What To Make For Dinner. When I was a kid, my Mom used to make Cheeseburger Pie, and us kids woofed it down with gusto. My Mom has since passed but I have her old recipe file. It’s [...]

I’ve made his bed up fresh, put out clean towels and a couple of new magazines on the bed side table and still no TOM. Either he’s very late or he is not visiting this month ~ a first! I’m sure wasting a lot of welcome mats waiting for him. “POP!” Nope, no TOM.
I’ve sure [...]

Baked a loaf of banana bread to give to a friend this morning. I use a wonderful recipe from “Cooking Light” magazine, and do a ‘Susan Tweek’ on it, by replacing all the light ingredients with, well, heavy ones. Two whole eggs instead of egg whites, full-fat sour cream, milk & butter. And no wonder [...]
