Living Dangerously (when the hubby cooks)

I don't know about your husband but in the rare event that my hubby cooks, everything is cooked on high! He seems to be unaware that any other settings exist on our stove.  Although, I have informed him of the existence of both medium and low settings, he continues to cook on high. This has lead to a few pans being destroyed and/or toxic fumes from the Teflon coating being released.  No need to mention the food burnt on the outside and raw inside...I have Pizza Hut's phone number memorized...just in case.    Read more >

When Sweet Baby Girls Grow Up To Be Scary!

Sometimes our sweet baby girls grow up into scary young women!   I once laughingly said that around the age of 9-10, both of my girls, went through a PPMS stage, or a Practicing PMS stage.

All of which quickly wanes.  Read more >

The Rationalization of Doughnuts

I asked.   "No." he said.    Read more >
