Random Things

Hubby likes Warhammer a lot. We cancelled both WoW accounts.
Knitting mojo has disappeared. I tried to bring it back with another project but I left the needle hanging off my desk and puppeh chewed it into many little pieces. And then the mojo left me again.
Speaking of puppeh, the dog is firmly mama’s girl. I’ve [...]

Thankful Thursday

We have food! Not only that, but we get to play at making it and enjoy the results. Imagine eating only dog food and your only hope of something different is the crumbs the kids drop from their plates?
The luncheon went well last Saturday. I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. The [...]

Meatballs and Pasta

I honestly don’t know if I should qualify “meatballs” since this isn’t your usual “Swedish” meatball. The ground meat mixture was intended to become burgers but when my hubby saw it, he said “Ugh…I’m kinda tired of red meat.” He then suggested we turn them into meatballs. Since they did come out pretty tasty, I’m [...]

Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
Originally uploaded by Phisch
May I just say, strawberry and rhubarb make quite a lovely combo of fruit and veggie (?!) in a cobbler. I used the same recipe as last time only substituted the blueberries.
The fruit was frozen and I used 16 oz. bags. I let them thaw on the counter with some [...]

This is going to be my first attempt at printing something using the services of Spoonflower.com. Right now, they print a pattern on 100% Kona cotton for you. It’s quilter’s cotton so it’s a decent fabric to work with. They do plan to add other fabrics to their offerings and I’m [...]

Help! I Need Somebody!

Dear people who know how to hack Firefox:
Why, oh why can’t I log into some sites? Ok, obviously, I can log into my blog to post this. But when I log on to Ebay or Spoonflower.com, I get bumped back to the log in page. No errors, just back to the log in page. Why?
It’s [...]

Kiddie Update

Just a few:
- J didn’t play on Saturday, but did play after everyone left the field at team practice time. He played tag. Hehe.
- NM played but their team didn’t win. They played a make-up game (cancelled due to Ike) but they lost that one. He did a great job as goalie and defender when [...]

W00ts and OOps

OOPS! I forgot to post for Thankful Thursday
W00t! We had enough places to sit for the ladies who made it to the luncheon today.
OOPS! I left off part of the directions to my house on the luncheon invite (MY bad!)
W00t! We still had lots show up.
OOPS! I think I ran out of ice.
W00t! <this is [...]

PIZZA NIGHT!

I think it’s official. Fridays will now become Pizza Night. Or, maybe that will be Thursdays, but this week it’s tonight.
The boys have soccer practices at 5:30 on Thu. and 6 on Fri., dab smack in the middle of dinner prep time. So far, we’ve come home late then have to make a hasty meal.
Enter [...]
