Sunday, January 31st, 2010Last night The Father and I were at a loss as to what to eat for dinner. We’d thawed a package of grass fed tri-tip steaks and wanted to do something new and super special for 3 very special steaks.

It’s Nine O’clock on a Saturday…
Saturday, January 30th, 2010and the regular crowd shuffles in. There’s an old man sittin’ next to me, wonderin’ when I’ll put the laundry in! Ok, The Father isn’t old… and he doesn’t exactly care when and how the laundry gets done. I love Billy Joel so I needed to sing my version of Piano Man. I had a [...]
A New House for LBG
Saturday, January 30th, 2010I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but The Father and I are in the process of buying a new house for LBG.

Yogurt… DIY Style!
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Betcha didn’t know you could make your own yogurt, didja? It’s so much fun and super yummy. The best part… it’s so easy because you use your crockpot!

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010I’m going to complain for a moment… Today I checked my email account that recieves offers and requests from Freecycle. What I saw was absolutely appalling! I supposed when you have people giving away things for free with no strings attached, the greedies of the world will emerge and abuse the system. I know it’s [...]

I had my handy-dandy list in tow along with with my reusable bags and my list of the Dirty Dozen. At the advice of an anonymous reader, we were [...]
The Dirty and The Clean
Monday, January 25th, 2010If I were a millionaire, we’d only be eating organic foods. I’m not… so we don’t. Every trip to the grocery store is an inner battle. Do I buy regular GMO (genetically-modified organisms) and pesticide laden foods or go for the expensive organics? A few months ago, I was introduced to the concept of the [...]
