As my regular readers know, one of my guilty pleasures is watching competition shows. Summer is my favorite time because two of my favorite shows run: The Next Food Network Star and Master Chef. With as much as I enjoy watching these shows (and Chopped!), you'd think I'd enjoy watching regular cooking shows. Not so much. There is… Continue reading Anti-Tammy Cooking Show

Random Stuff catches my fancy. I hope it can make you smile.
Carmen’s Birthday
Over the weekend, Carmen had her birthday. She's eight! I split a can of tuna between her and Lemon as a treat. It is something that doesn't aggravate Lemon's condition. Technically it wasn't Carmen's actual birthday. I consider the anniversary of my bringing her home from the pound to be her birthday. Seems as good a… Continue reading Carmen’s Birthday
Drive Versus Fly
I was so glad I was able to make it out for my sister Rebecca's graduation last month. Shortly after I booked my plane tickets, many of my friends started questioning my decision to fly instead of drive. It is about 400 miles each way. I did have a blast on my solo cross-country trip, but… Continue reading Drive Versus Fly
Dark and Stormy
I love having the opportunity to publicly share my silly side ... as well as laugh at my own mistakes. Sometimes it is my brain going off on weird tangents. Other times, it is me completely missing the point. This blog post was written in two parts: Part one before I knew the truth, and… Continue reading Dark and Stormy
Sleeping In
I chuckled when I saw the writing prompt of "sleeping in" at First 50 Words. Being a devout morning person, to me 7 am is sleeping in. One Saturday, back when I was working at SANYO, my boss called me at 9:30 am and was astonished to find me asleep. "I thought you said you… Continue reading Sleeping In
Strutting My Stuff
While on my neighborhood walks, I normally welcome the silence to help me think. I have discovered something that helps that time fly by when I am merely out for exercise: 80's Cardio on Pandora. It won't be a surprise to anyone that I love my 80s music, but what might be a surprise is… Continue reading Strutting My Stuff
Book Review Gone Awry
Part of the joy of returning to reading and joining PaperbackSwap is that I am actually paying attention to what books are out there. I read book reviews wherever I find them: NPR, the PBS blog posts, LA Times, the business blogging and prepping communities. This has led to me being exposed to a wide… Continue reading Book Review Gone Awry
Pi Day Revisited
I realized I hadn't space geeked out in a while in the blog, and tomorrow's Pi Day (3.14) is such a great opportunity to remedy that. I have not one but two space shuttle stories to share with you today. They both took place when I was living in Florida. One weekend I was hanging out… Continue reading Pi Day Revisited
Cracked
I am hilarious ... at least to me. I crack myself up all the time. Then again, I am easily amused. I've always viewed that as a positive thing - I laugh all the time. I was so excited to learn that Wil Wheaton is also easily amused! AND to add to my geek-out, Sheldon on Big Bang… Continue reading Cracked
Furry Welcome
I am hoping to have several guest posts to my blog scattered throughout this year. I figured I would start it out with a contribution from Carmen. This post was actually written by Carmen to my friend and neighbor who watches our felines when we are gone. I figured my readers would appreciate Carmen's efforts.… Continue reading Furry Welcome
