Or "Try, Try Again"
Posted in Food on Apr 1st, 2008
I’ve decided again that I like cottage cheese. It’s a little boring by itself, though, so I googled things to eat with cottage cheese and found some good ideas, like cinnamon or pears (or both!). Did I try any of those ideas, though? No, of course not. I chose to try one of my own [...]
This is Colin, and I’m getting to the point where I’m blogging >1nce a day, but on different blogs. But this one goes here: I’ve always liked Stouffer’s Spinach Souffle. Just a little comfort food thing from the ‘hood (and by ‘hood I mean the richest county in the US.) Anyway, for 32 years I’ve [...]

Colin and his mother were just discussing St. Patrick’s Day on the phone and she mentioned that they have corned beef and cabbage to celebrate. So, I asked for her recipe and she said “it’s the easiest thing in the world” and I paraphrase the rest with the following: Put water and the spices from [...]

Then he got excited and said he wanted some. That’s not the cute, funny part. The cute, funny [...]

Yesterday was my birthday and I really had a great day. My family called and sang Happy Birthday to me on speakerphone in the morning, an indispensable part of any truly good birthday. Colin spent most of the day up north helping with the cleanup of the tornado disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago, [...]
Although I would say that my body is far from perfect and that the way I care for my body is nowhere close to ideal, I am grateful for my body. Yesterday I did an exercise video all the way through (a pretty big feat for me) and I noticed how good it feels to stretch and move [...]

Colin is home sick today and we needed groceries, so Degen and I headed to the grocery store with a list and a budget while Maggie napped and Colin worked on the computer. Degen and I headed to the post office to send off a check, then went to the nearest Kroger. There’s not much [...]
