Wednesday, September 15, 2004Tonight will be a fend for yourself or eat a tv dinner night!Since I won't be here to cook or guide a helper to cook, no one will attempt it. So I say...open a can of soup, grill up some dogs (the little ones, you know made from who knows what), make some pasta and toss it with the salad shrimp and butter (plus whatever else your heart -or stomach- desires,...

This is what we had today...I cooked this up after work, while one son was watching tv, another playing computer and hubby doing who knows what (he got...

Mostly, this was at their prompting, but since I was in no hurry to get home, I consented. I am not a very adventurous eater and I always have to...

So yes, that means no more cooked breakfast. No eggs and bacon, pancakes and sausages, bagel sandwiches, hash browns and over easy, etc. Wow, that's too bad because now I am hungry. Whatever it is about school days, they are...

I have not been home and I have not even tried to leave a note as to what they could do. Why bother? They will not read the note or even look for it and will mumble and grumble anyway. So, I don't know what they have had.... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, August 25, 2004What's up with hard water?Technically, hard water has more minerals in it than soft water. Specifically, there will be a lot of calcium and magnesium in your water. This can be beneficial to your diet. So if you are looking to add some calsium (needed for strong bones and teeth) to your diet, drink some hard water!!! In...

My hubby hates it because everyone at work has a water softener and I refuse to get one. Why? Well. soft water tastes like muck, especially when you add anything to it....

Wonderful, way to go, a break for me! The grill, however, would not cooperate. The tank was semi-full, the weather was cooperating, and apparently, that was not enough. So we...

We get a break and make -or buy- whatever we want for dinner. Best of all, I found a coupon for buy one Domino's pizza, get one free! You got it, I ate the free one!!!

The poor kid didn't know what the heck his dad was trying to say and what's more, neither did I. Okay, he has it on the grill and it is cooking a little bit too fast- well, yes, there is a bit of a grill fire, a fat... Sign in to see full entry. |
