Today, there are WAY too many families in Connecticut grieving over losing their children and their family members. The press is saying that fear, anger, and confusion are the only way to describe how the people in Newtown, Connecticut feel right now.
Those feelings are completely understandable. I cried, and I don’t know anyone directly who died. The fact that someone walked into an elementary school and killed 27 people, most of whom are children… That upsets me.
Having so many people immediately start yelling about how we should control guns and take them away from law-abiding citizens… That pisses me off! …
My son and I used to go to Red Lobster almost weekly when he was younger. And while we ordered different entrees (he preferred the popcorn shrimp while I’m a huge fan of their crab legs), we both agreed that the Cheddar Bay Biscuits they served were the best we’d ever tasted and even if that’s ALL we ate, we’d both go home happy!
Nowadays we don’t go as often (college, work and girlfriend time has taken over), but we do miss those biscuits! So, I went on a search to find out if there might be a comparable recipe out there… preferably one that even I, the master NON-chef, could pull off.
No, I’m not a chef. In fact, if you ask those who know me best they will flat out tell you… I don’t even like to cook. There are, however, a few recipes I don’t mind making here and there, as long as I can find someone willing to do the dishes and help with clean up.
Lasagna is one of those recipes I finally figured out (and it turned out great if I do say so myself!).
So, for those of you “non-cooks” like me, here’s a fairly simple one that turns out really well and actually impresses people. …
Today’s notable news for me in regards to eating healthy arrived in the form of a G+ post about Monsanto, GMO foods, and the crap that Monsanto’s been creating.
Yes, I said crap.
And I’m guessing that Monsanto will never want to advertise on my blog. I promise you, I won’t lose one bit of sleep over it! …
I have a small scar underneath my eyebrow on my right toward the my nose. I got it when I was around six or seven years old.
My neighbors on one side has two daughters and two sons. My neighbor on the other side had two boys, Kenny and Billy.
Joy and I spent a lot of time hanging out and playing with Kenny and Billy and occasionally we would get in a fight with them too. One day, I got really mad at Kenny (I don’t remember why) but I remember chasing him over to his house and, when I got there, I picked up one of those big fat wiffleball bats, backed him up against the wall of his house, and hit him across his chest with it.
Of course Kenny was around the same age, so it probably did hurt him. Even if it didn’t, I do know it made him mad. …
Believe it I just finished listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 from the week ending September 10, 1983!
So cool! I remember what a big part of our life Casey Kasem was every week when I was a teenager. He had such a unique voice. Even if you didn’t know what radio station he was going to be on, all you had to do was flip through the stations until you heard that voice coming across the airwaves and you knew you were there.
40 of our favorite songs that we have listened to all week long… Patiently waiting to see which one was going to be number one! And always such a letdown when it was over because you felt like it was time for a friend to leave. …
Good gosh! Yes, I’m having one of those days. I’m mad. I’m frustrated. I’m in a non-people mood!
And yes, I feel I have the right to be. 🙂
Don’t get me wrong. The only one I have to blame is me. I’ve made choices over the years to be an enabler.
Hi, I’m Debi. And I’m an enabler. (Imagines all the “Hi Debi”s coming from the group). …
I know it’s not Christmas yet but this crossed my mind last night when I reached for the raw pecans I have on the counter. You know the ones. The kind you buy at Christmas that come inside their shells. They’re usually mixed together in a great big bin that your mom keeps telling you to stop playing in.
Whenever mom brought these home, she’d put ’em in a big bowl and throw the nut cracker and picks into the bowl with the nuts so that we could actually get the shells off and eat them. As far as I knew, that was the only way to get to the good parts of the nuts.
Well I just got re-edu-macated last year by a short little Mexican lady that my sweetheart calls mom. …
That’s right. I said “Abounds”. And if you don’t know what that means then Google it!
Sorry. Was that rude? Yes, it was. And I was being intentionally rude to make a point… it’s NOTICEABLE!
I don’t know whether it’s the baby boomer side of me or the midwestern in me, but people are just ticking me off more and more by their rudeness! …
Well I should have.
Yes, it’s true…I hate gray hair (mine in particular, so if you’re comfortable sporting grey hair, more power to you). More importantly is that I hate GETTING grey hairs!
It’s not that I have anything against the grey itself. I mean it’s only a color right? (shifts eyes to make sure no one’s looking at her gray). …
