Maybe it’s because DH was out of town last week (it’s amazing how much sugar helps recover from pure exhaustion), or maybe it’s because I’ve just got a major sweet-tooth, but I saw a recipe for caramel brownies and just had to try them for FHE yesterday. This is what I adapted from the recipe […]
Letters of the week
I may have to make this a weekly tradition! ——————————————————– Dear coupon clippers It’s great that you get an extra good deal when items go on sale, but please leave one or two of them on the shelves so that others can enjoy the savings too! Signed, Irritated that none of the items I need […]
The infamous “Toy”
DD is great at sharing things. Her stuffed animal “babies” (of her choosing, of course), her reward candy (for using the potty), and other miscellaneous odds and ends always end up distributed between the family. However, the “family” in DD’s view includes a fifth member…one she calls “Toy.” It started with the “I love Mommy, […]
Jammy Desires
I have a fetish for buying the kids pajamas. If I’m shopping for clothes for the kids, I inevitably end up buying a least one set of pajamas. This has created a glut of pjs in our house. At one point, DD had probably twice as many pjs as she did other clothes, a fact […]
Carnitas Enchiladas
Okay. I’m getting a bit creative. This is a recipe I’ve adapted from a taco recipe to make enchiladas instead. Super yummy, especially with the homemade corn tortillas. And it is super easy! The pictures here are leftovers, actually. Almost as yummy as the first night! Carnitas Enchilada Stacks 1 to 1-1/2 pounds pork roast, […]
Cookies!
I haven’t posted any new recipes lately – mainly because I haven’t been cooking. But, alas, tax season has died down and I find myself with a few spare moments. So I’m tried out a new cookie today from Picky Palate that uses coconut oil instead of butter (supposedly there are major health benefits […]
The Great Freeze
Spurred by the debacle with the neighbors and a need to actually make ice and freeze baby food, last weekend I cleaned out our two freezers – this was a monumental task. I cannot believe the items that were sitting in the bottom of our stand alone freezer…packages of frozen potatoes, terriyaki chicken breasts (ready […]
Letters of the week
Dear client, Why is it that I seem to be the only person who understands the legal structures of your companies? Please stop giving legal representation, states, and the federal government incorrect information that gets you into trouble. Signed, I’ve already answered that question 50 times, but I’ll gladly do it again since you’re paying […]
Letters of the week
Here are the letters I wish I could write this week: Dear Target employee, I understand that it isn’t your job to load my bags into my cart. And leaving them at the end of the check out stand is probably “how you were trained” – but could you not see that I had a […]
How to drive your tax guy crazy!
In honor of tax day, I am going to list the top ten (or more) tax questions I’ve answered in the last year: Why can’t I include the cost of my singing lessons as a business expense? (From a non-professional singer with no “business income”). Because hobby expenses can only be deducted to the extent […]
