Tomorrow is a busy day. First and foremost, it’s my first born’s fifth birthday. As is my husband’s design, Eleanor will not wake up in her own bed on her birthday. She never has, and hopefully never will. It’s a quirky thing, but it’s his, or , more precisely, his and hers. Tony has to [...]

It was a Cheer-splosion! There were great gobs of paper and sticky food and amazing friends and family. Man alive, what a mess. I blather on about the noise and mess like some old Grinch, but Christmas was a fine time this year. The day started off pretty slow just a baby girl and one [...]

I promise I will blog with pictures tomorrow, but Eleanor said the funniest thing. I made Kale Chips. I said, “Eleanor, come try these.” And she did. Then she spit it out and said, “This is yuck.” I said, “Well, you tried it, and I’m happy.” Without missing a beat and in all seriousness, she [...]

Saralyn still likes two naps a day: a morning catnap, and a longer afternoon nap. Playgroup seems to keep her interest enough that she often skips the morning snooze, but as soon as playtime is over, she’s demanding of a nap. Today she fell asleep before I got out of the church driveway. That was [...]
Gorgonzola

I love me some stinky cheese! Gorgonzola (and it’s many blue veined cousins) makes everything tastier. I’ve had it on everything from salad to steak, and it’s just delightful. Have you ever tried just crumbling it on an avocado half (a little salt and pepper, please)? YUM. It’s so high in fat it just floats [...]
Kosher Invertebrates
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged culture, Food on October 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I keep coming back to this question from last week’s big Team Trivia Tournament: What is the only Kosher invertebrate? Our little team of three Lutherans, an agnostic and a recovering Baptist were stumped. We went through several good ideas with what little understanding of Kosher Laws we had. First we thought it was squid, [...]
