I'm finishing up my new cookbook and keep running into a problem with Word, specifically Page Numbering. My Appetizers section ended with Page 31. I want to start my Breads and Rolls section with Page 34 (because I have a Chapter Cover picture, which would be pages 32 and 33. Hence the...

OK, well, that's the last time Rick will take me along to an auction! Came home with a flat of purple dahlias, a flat of purple and white geraniums, two flats of Gerbera daisies, two coral bells, and a flat of elephant ears. And a Traeger wood-fired grill. I couldn't believe it. This was a...

Yes! Especially the roller coasters!

Yes, and I used to love to swim. Our pool goes from 4 to 8 feet, not really very big, but on a hot, stifling summer day, it gets the job done. I used to come home from second shift at work at 11, hit the bathroom and change into my suit. And be in the pool until around 1 or 2 in the morning...

The ribs were good last night, but a little too falling-off-the-bone tender. The dinners also included baked beans, cole slaw, and a roll, so I didn't have to make a salad. Dessert was a chocolate whoopie pie with peanut butter filling. Rick is thinking about a pulled pork sandwich tonight, but...

It's chilly this morning. We got down to the upper 40s last night. A little too chilly for the end of May. I'm going with Rick to today's auction! It's an all-day thing, but if I get tired or bored, I'll come home early, then go back to pick him up when he's ready to leave. He brought home a...

Happy Weekend! What is one thing you refuse to live without? Maybe it's your coffee or tea in the morning. Maybe you have a special treat or snack that you love. It could be a special book or certain kind of music. What would it be for you? For me, it's probably music. As soon as I get in the...

The WeShed is cleaned: vacuumed, swiffered, washed windows (inside and out), watered the plants, all that good stuff. Then I came in the house and cleaned the house, too. I can find my desk without any trouble; it was getting ridiculous and I think it breathed a sigh of relief after I was done...

I'm a Boomer, but share many characteristics of the X generation.

Rick will be bringing ribs home from the auction tonight. I'll throw together a bit of salad and that will be dinner.

I got nothing done yesterday. All I did was sleep. In my defense, it was a crappy day with t-storms and rain. And I wanted to finish my e-book before the library deleted it from my Shelf. I couldn't even do that. How bad is it when your iPad falls on your face because you fell asleep while...

My nights with Mollipop. I usually go to bed around 8 or so, not to sleep, but to watch TV and hang out on my iPad for a while. Molli always comes back to be with me and sleeps wrapped around my left arm. It's very comforting for me and very peaceful. Eventually, she'll go up to her pillow at...

@Kwik For your neighbor, food is good. She's probably not even thinking of cooking and meal prep right now. So you bringing her food and making sure she eats is the best you can go. My heart goes out to her; I can't even imagine. Please give her a warm hug from me. I am so sorry. We had some...

Tuesday was a very long day for us. I met my new nephrologist at 1:00 as I have transitioned from Acute Kidney Disease to Chronic Kidney Disease. The good news is that I don't need to go through dialysis...yet. As long as I keep a good appetite (not a problem!), don't start vomiting, and can get...

I have to be careful because I have Keytruda treatments. I'd say up to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a week or so.

When I had my roots done, I was going in every 3-4 weeks for roots. Every other time, I'd have a quick trim. When I was in the process of letting my hair grow out of all color during the pandemic, I went about 3 or 4 months between trims. I was so glad to get the rest of the colored hair cut and...

Delmonicos on the grill, crock pot beans, potato salad. Ice cream sandwiches for a bit of dessert.

At one time (back in the 20teens...not sure of what exact year), Tramontina was considered a Best Buy from America's Test Kitchen. I got the set from Target for around $150. It is still amazing for me to use. This is tri-ply clad. I got the large fry pan and a smaller fry pan, the Dutch oven...

Another storm last night and it's very foggy out this morning. We were going to try to finish Northern Exposure, but both of us ended up falling asleep. Rick awakened long enough to give the cats their late bedtime snack, start the dishwasher, and come to bed. I slept until around midnight, then...

Happy Weekend! What is your favorite bread? Do you like white bread, whole wheat, multi-grain? We prefer multi-grain. But since I've been dealing with kidney issues, my nephologist prefers just plain old white bread. Bleah. We like Nature's Own Perfectly Crafted Multi-Grain. What about you? I...
