Labor Day Weekend

Happy Sabbath! I hope you have a safe holiday weekend if you're traveling. Today I'm thinking about how we communicate with each other, specifically with our spouses. We often take different roles in our marriage. The highest goal is that we are both equal in the relationship. That is what God intended originally. Because of …

Nov 7, 2018 – WOW

I haven't posted for quite some time because I was limited in what I could say because of my brother. There are people trolling the web who take words and twist them into negativity. I married the most wonderful man last Christmas Day! Things are going extremely well, with work of course! Hey, we're both …

2016 Vacation

Sheldon took 2 weeks off work (the 1st in 30 yrs) and we drove back east to see my folks. It's a 2-day, 1200 mile drive, a great way to see how 2 people work together. We left with Jaylee (Dachshund) on the Thursday before Labor Day. We stopped (wisely) just east of Indianapolis. After …

Stella Gets a Bath

Bathing a cat is as exciting as it sounds! Typically, I don't bathe my cats but Stella has eating issues. I think she was deprived of food in her childhood. As a result, she doesn't have a "stop eating" switch in her little brain. Oh, for heaven's sake, she's a Fat Girl!! She's so fat …

August 16

So I have 2 things to share: my honey ordered a ring  and I made "Mama's Mac & Cheese" Friday afternoon.  The picture doesn't do it justice. I'll share the recipe and update you on Sheldon & me.  I hope you had a great weekend! 

Pizza Dough Recipe

The recipe for pizza dough is very simple: 5 cups of all-purpose flour & 2 teaspoons salt; 2 cups hot water with 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast. Making the dough needs love & attention.  This recipe makes 4 pizzas. Make sure all fans are turned OFF. Dough dries out quickly. Bloom the …

Pizza Dough

I actually made pizza dough for the 1st time over the weekend! I watched Martha Stewart on PBS @create TV. She baked the pizza 2 ways: iron skillet & baking stone. I had neither so I used a thin, round non-stick baking sheet.  I made the dough the day before (Friday), cut it into 4's and …

Yes, I Have MS

I was diagnosed with Recurring MS in November 2012. I haven't posted this info anywhere because I don't want sympathy. I take a daily injection (Copaxone 20 mg) which keeps the disease on a pretty even keel.  My neurologist says I must have been carrying the disease for decades because it usually attacks young people. …

Jaylee at Vet (now home)

After 18 teeth extractions and $246, my sweetie is home! She has pain & antibiotic meds and she's walking pretty well. When we got home, she went straight for the water. Poor thing! I'll be playing nurse for the next 2 weeks!  I was going to write about zucchini but I'm a little worried about …

Grinder

I need some culinary advice: Can a food processor mimic the texture of cooked elbow macaroni run through the round-slotted plate? I have a recipe from childhood that calls for ground macaroni. This is a picture of the device my mother used. I don't have the plates & I wonder if it's worth trolling the …
