Homemade McDonald's Burgers and a Pot of Chili Are the Order of the Day

Dinner tonight is an easy one. John loves quarter pounders, so I have managed to seemingly master McDonald's secret recipe that tastes just like it came from the burger giant itself. The rehydrated onions, onion powder, sliced dill pickles, sliced cheese, mustard, and ketchup followed by the way... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was a Strange Request This Time of Year, but I Fulfilled It Anyway

This time of year when the temps range between to 60s to the 80s I prefer eating sandwiches, salads, and anything that can be grilled on the barbecue. John is a bit old-fashioned, so he turns to his childhood favorite, that being, a hearty chicken noodle soup that is best served when he is in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Today Didn't Turn Out As the Weatherman Had Predicted

What was supposed to be a miserable and wet day turned out to be a lovely sunny day with a temperature of 75. This is the kind of day when I find gardening to be pleasurable since it's not too hot to dig in the dirt and pull weeds. I have already finished two loads of clothes and I ran to the...

I Haven't Made One of John's Favorites In a Long Time

It's hot, so I'm all about salads and sandwiches at this time of year, but John prefers heartier meals that include a top ten list of his favorite dinners. Chicken fried steak ranks at about #6. I haven't made it in several years, so I had to dig deep in my recipe box to find the one that hits all... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Not Feeling Bad One Bit For Parting Ways

There comes a time when all things must end, so I've been told, and I for one fear change. We have been insured through State Farm for nearly 15 years, but after a hefty monthly increase on our auto and renters insurance, we decided today to end our service with them. We have had no accidents,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Never Know What I'll See In My Yard from Day to Day

It's a sunny and beautiful day here in Pittsburgh. Our temperature today will hit 78 and there isn't a cloud in the sky. I spotted these yellow beauties by our shed when I walked out to fill the bird feeders this morning. They were a pleasant surprise considering that just yesterday they were still...

Lucky Me

I either have the most incredible luck or the complete opposite, that being the worst luck of all, depending on what day it is. John offered me a piece of his sea salt chocolate caramel candy that came in his Easter basket. As delicious as it was, the thick caramel was a bit chewy, so much so that...

A Working Easter Sunday

As much as I would love to have the traditional Easter Sunday dinner along with the many other festivities that go with this religious holiday, work has intervened for my family, so we celebrated the holiday yesterday. Later this afternoon after we get off of work, we will spend the rest of the day... Sign in to see full entry.
