I ventured off my sofa today and even OUT into the world, which felt amazing after being knocked on my ass, almost literally, for two full days. Thursday night I didn't feel so good, and by the time I woke up Friday morning I had fully given over to the nastiest bit of flu I can remember having in a damn long time. High fever, chills, sweats, aches ( Read more... )

In case you missed it yesterday and want to play along...

Recipes. Fooooood. Omnomnomnom.

Come on by and post one for us?

Wanna know one of my favorite things about this time of year? THE FOOD! I love to cook and I love to eat :) Thanksgiving, growing up, was my mother's favorite holiday, and though the woman isn't what I would exactly call a great cook, this is the day she gave it all her effort. She doesn't even like turkey but every year we had the biggest turkey ( Read more... )

I like to have fun on holidays with food, don't you? Whether it be something to gross out the kids (nothing actually grosses out kids, however, but they will EWWWWWW and GROOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS at you for show most of the time, at least mine will!) or something to honor the season or your faith or what have you.

So Peter is sick, threw up all as soon as he got off the bus, poor thing. Two weeks in and we have our first virus! Ah, kids are fun. At least this is out of the way so he likely won't get sick around my brother's wedding which is the 26th. Have I mentioned how flippin' handsome my little boy looks in his tux? There will be pictures, oh yes ( Read more... )

Ha, I will give a ridiculous number of virtual kisses to the first person who can tell me what the subject line of this post is from : )

So I just watched Ratatouille for what might be the 137th time, or at least damn near close to it.  It is, without a doubt, my son's favorite movie (though Cars and Toy Story 1 and 2 are real close, probably seen ( Read more... )
