Product of Its Time
Is it just me, or have other people had to put up a protective "product of its time" shield to buffer the differences in mindset?
How do People…
The answer is listen to music, sit still, wake up after the sun. The question? What do normal people do?
Outsmarting a Cat
In the past I've talked about Lemon and her crazy allergies. Not only does her poor tummy not tolerate any grains, and hence the homemade cat food, but she also has asthma and other allergies that affect her respiratory system. Here is Lemon at her last vet appointment. We have been handling the stuffiness/coughing/ wheezing/sneezing… Continue reading Outsmarting a Cat
She’s Back!
The evil hackers made me afraid on my own blog. That is not right. I decided I wasn't going to let them win. My absence showed me I wasn't ready to hang up the towel on this adventure yet. So, I took my ball and instead of going home, I went to a safer playground.… Continue reading She’s Back!

Trial Run
I was so excited to try my hand at making an aged cheese on January 2nd - my last day off before returning from the holidays. What a great way of starting the new year. I had already purchased all the remaining supplies I needed. I was raring to go. It was going well. I heated… Continue reading Trial Run
Right Tool
This past holiday season brought with it not only our new house, but I received some awesome kitchen implements. I've previously written about another culinary right tool for the job - which ended up being more of a miss ultimately. Hopefully these end up having more longevity. The gift I got from DH2U was the… Continue reading Right Tool
