It's been ages, but I thought I'd post a Pulled Pork Recipe that saved my night tonight.  I should be promoting my Epicure brand, but I didn't have any on hand, so I looked to the web for an idea.  This one looked good, (and easy) so I tried it, and came home to the most mouth watering lovelyness!  I keep sneaking bites while telling the guys its ( Read more... )

( Ain't it purty? )

The very first Remembrance Day that I remember, was in grade one.  Though I'm sure we did something to mark the moment of silence before then, the big production of the grade school assembly stayed with me.

I remember Mrs White - the epitome of a grade one teacher - having us make giant poppies to decorate the gymnasium.  I remember learning the ( Read more... )

I fell off the 'writing wagon' miles and miles ago.  I can't even look on the NaNo forums for shame of my rather poor word count in comparison to others.

But this time, I'm not going to do what I usually do.  Hide.  Close my eyes, and not look.  Turn off the computer, and come back a month from now.  *Shakes head*  Nope.  I'm going to forge ahead ( Read more... )

Over fed, well shopped, and well rested.  We're making plans to head home now.  But not before we hit my favourite childhood 'playground', Colasanti's.

It used to be a very large green house full of house plants of every variety.  There were also birds, and a petting zoo to amuse the kiddos while the parents shopped.  There has always been a snack ( Read more... )

Stuffed.  We are stuffed beyond belief!  It's been food and candy non-stop for hours now ( Read more... )

I can't write much, as I'm typing on my Blackberry.  And I can't get the LiveJournal Mobile site to work.  Grr.  Figures.  I was thinking I'd need to clear it at home before I started out.  But home got very busy with the packing and the lugging.  I ran out of time to do the 'little things ( Read more... )

Bathtime, and story time sorted?  *Check*
Full tummy, and snoozing tot?  *Check*
Hot tea waiting for me when I get out of my shower?  *Check*
Laptop on, and ready for when I sit down?  *Check, and Check!*

It's been four days, and already I've developed a good little routine.  Something I kind of like having really.  Some defined 'Me time'.

I have to ( Read more... )

No food today.  Or atleast, nothing noteworthy -or rather 'blogworthy'.

I didn't hit my writing mark yesterday, but got close.  My husband brought home a movie to watch that evening, so I didn't head downstairs to the laptop for the last hours of writing.

Instead we watched The Karate Kid.  The remake, with Jaden Smith.

I can't say I didn't like the ( Read more... )
