Tonight I made an easy dinner. Ever since my parents started training us to cook by assigning each kid a day of the week to make dinner I've been searching for easy, healthy dinners (most of my nights to cook in high school were spaghetti, garlic bread, frozen broccoli, and green salad with ranch dressing). [...]

As I mentioned, we BBQed last night, even in the snow and wind. We have one of those globe-shaped cheap grills you buy at Wal-Mart. Last night Colin had me light it and it was fun. He cleaned out all the stuff from last time we used the grill (last summer) and piled the charcoal [...]

Another book you should all read is Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. Now, I'm not saying this book will solve all your problems or that everything in it is right on, but I do think there are a lot of valuable concepts Gray teaches and teaches well. The premise [...]

I discovered spray starch this weekend and am strongly tempted to iron everything in my house with it. That's a big deal for me because I'm really not into ironing except for the occasional moving meditation benefits. Colin said that everyone gets on a starch kick the first time they try it and I am [...]

On Friday for our date Colin and I went to The Mayan. I mentioned earlier in my blog that I'd never been, and when Colin read that he was shocked and decided he had to take me (another perk of blogging). I'd had a tough day and it was a huge relief to leave the [...]

I looked up www.bettycrocker.com today. I was thinking about how I liked my Betty Crocker Cookbook better than my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but that I never use Betty because my youngers siblings tore it up years ago when I was home. So, I thought I'd look it up and see how much it [...]

My dad emailed me this article tonight. It's nice to hear nice things about Mormons in the news, especially with all the grumpiness going around because of Mitt Romney opposition. Thanks David Neeleman for being a good example, even when you do make mistakes! I flew on JetBlue once and loved it, by the way (the only reason I haven't flown [...]

Today I was trying to help Colin design a web page in Joomla! I read the whole manual (186 pages) and still didn't catch on to half of it because I don't "speak" code. Every program has a different set of jargon for the same stuff. Like, in WordPress they have "plugins" but in Joomla! [...]

Another pretty cool site that Colin's subscribed to for years is MyTowne.com. It's one of those sites where you register for free, then once a week they send you an email and you click on the link to see if you're one of the 100 weekly winners. There are a bunch of ads on the [...]

I found a useful tool today in Utah Diners Guide. I wonder why it's not Utah Diner's Guide (with an apostrophe), though. It seems to have a fairly comprehensive list of places to eat in Utah with reviews. I think the reviews are probably all good because of the bias of being paid by the [...]
