Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
With more hair than usual AND he claims he wants to keep it! Just wants a trim to clean up the ears, but he is actually NOT demanding requesting a #1 buzz cut. We'll see how long it lasts after a few football practices with a helmet. Though, I must say, its been a totally... Continue Reading →
SportsBoy home at 6:00pm today!!
First, a food source (Hey, I haven't done TOO badly on the food theme for the month!): Eat Well Guide. During the audience question and answer session with Al Gore in Austin, FoodGal was lucky enough to ask a question about beef. Specifically whether he was aware that the beef industry is actually the biggest... Continue Reading →
That's all folks. My view from 11:30-5:00 on Sat and from 8-4 on Sunday. By the end of Sunday most of the racks were empty. Aren't you all so glad I share my oh so exciting life with you? Weeeeeeeeeee! For once I am saying Thank Gawd Its Monday!! Oh, and 2 more days! 2... Continue Reading →
My 4lb hand weights. I've had them for AGES. I honestly have no idea when I got them - pre Sportsboy I think! But this is the first year that they have gotten regular use. If I keep this up, I may graduate to 5 lbs weights! I upped the reps I do and added... Continue Reading →
Hawaiian Chicken. This dish was all inclusive - I added nothing. Well, OK, I felt like having edamame too 🙂 The sauce included black beans, pineapple, green onions, red peppers and garlic in a chicken broth base. Quite good. I took the plunge and ordered up a bunch of food from the August menu. Unfortuantely... Continue Reading →
Before I do something that I said I would not do (ahem, it's a political topic, going back on my word is not inconsistent with the topic!), I must address the week's big events. Well, really just one Big Event. The most over hyped overseas trip by a presidential candidate EVER! Now, let's be real... Continue Reading →
The steaks marianating. This dish was on the "express aisle" for the month of July which meant that everything was pre-mixed for me so I have no idea what is in this! It looks oil based though - kind of like an italian salad dressing. After 10 minutes under the broiler - with gorgonzola butter... Continue Reading →
I guess it's not bad that it took me until the 23rd of the month to hit a posting wall. Well, it's not just a posting wall really, it's just a wall in general. Vacation is awesome, but then you come home to things that piled up while you were gone. Newspapers, recorded shows, other... Continue Reading →
Pasta Bolognese! Since I got home too late on Sunday to have a Dream Dinner thawed out and ready for Monday night, I knew I would have to cook on my own. That worked out fine since I typically crave pasta after I travel for whatever reason! Now, everyone has their own opinion on bolognese.... Continue Reading →
