Fruity

It’s been harder and harder to post these past few days.  Now that the warm weather is here I just want to be outside!  And cooking, I’d rather leave the stove off.  In fact on Monday I was cooking something (what was it?!?..no really i can’t remember) and I took the pan out of the [...]

Happy Anniversary….to Me!

My husband and I celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary today.  We slept in and then headed for Becky’s diner (check out their website, it’s really cool); a Portland, ME landmark.  As expected it was packed, but we were more than happy to sit among the locals at the counter. 

I agreed to “take a day off” from counting [...]

Week Rewind: Part 2

I’m back from lunch and ready to share the last part of my week.  Missed the first part? Click here.
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday: Work days.  Get up, go to work, go to bed.  You know the kind.

This salad deserves it’s own post – it’s that good. Oh my.

Spring Pasta Salad

Week Rewind

We all know I haven’t been blogging this week, so what have I been up to?
Saturday:  My husband, and fellow youth group leader, took our teens to see The Chronicles of Narnia:  Prince Caspian.    It was another great movie by Disney.  It did deviate from the book a little too much for my husbands liking, but [...]

I’m back. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Tip:  Apparently when you save pictures that 48″ wide by 32″ high for 6-months it eats up your computer’s memory.  Gooble Gobble.
In short, I am the reason the computer exploded.  Me.
With that said, I am still going to take large pictures, but now, i’m going to save them on my shinny new 500 gig external [...]

Backed up.

Update:  My computer guy (read: husband) is working fervently on our computer.  You’d think he works for the government, but he doesn’t.  He assures me it will be up and running tonight (Wed).  I hope so, because I bought a new cookbook and have been cooking up a storm!  C U Soon….I hope!
Our computer exploded [...]

Chicken Cordon Blue

Chicken Cordon Blue Bleu
Tuesday is golf day around here. After work I pick up my husband (we commute together) and he drops me off at home then speeds north to the driving range. On these nights we don’t eat together, he usually eats on the road (read: fast food) and I take the [...]
