Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
The other night Tony and I were watching a show that had comedians Martin Mull and Drew Carey talking about their careers.  I of course knew who Drew Carey was, but I only had vague recollections of Martin Mull.  Turns out his first big break as an actor was on a show called Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.  I remember my parents watching it I think. ...

Tony Doesn’t Like the Way I Blow. Huh.

Tony Doesn’t Like the Way I Blow.  Huh.
I think this may be my new favorite breakfast.  I stopped at Panera on my way to work and bought a loaf of sourdough bread (Mel, I will make that starter one day!) and had them slice it thin.  Each slice is 1 ounce.  I had an egg white, spinach, ham and cheese panini with strawberries on the side.  I use I Can’t Believe It’s...

Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Sloppy Joes
Thanks for all the tips for apps for my new phone!  Okay, you guys are going to laugh, but that’s okay.  I love Instagram.  I like being able to take a picture, use the features to fix it up to post to Facebook.  A while back people started following me.  A.  I don’t know how people found me, and B. I had no idea why...

Sunday Dinner

Sunday Dinner
This weekend was a perfect combination of lazy and productive.  Saturday Tony and I went out to eat near where he grew up.  The Village Tavern is known for their chicken fingers.  I wasn’t planning on getting them, until I saw that they offered BUFFALO fingers on their appetizer menu. Silly me thought it would be a smaller portions since it was an appetizer portion. ...

I think I have an addiction…

to hot sauce.  I know, doesn’t this come to you as a complete surprise?!  Melanie wondered what kinds of hot sauce I have in the house.  I thought I had 27 bottles, turns out I have 21 at home and 6 at my office.  I may or may not have a tiny bottle of Tabasco in my purse for emergencies!  (Melanie – you asked for...

I Can’t Get Tony To Pork Anymore.

I Can’t Get Tony To Pork Anymore.
I have a Weather Bug app on my phone.  This morning when I got up, there was a weather alert – a damn winter storm warning.  Starting tonight and into tomorrow, we could get up to 5 inches of snow and have wind gusts of 30 mph.  Tony and I have to keep reminding each other why we still live in the Midwest – gah!...

Banana Granola Pancakes & Three Bean Chili

Banana Granola Pancakes & Three Bean Chili
Thanks for all your comments yesterday after I “came clean” about my over eating over the weekend.  It’s nice to know that I am not alone, but it also helped me be more conscious of my eating yesterday. Helen pointed out that just because I didn’t get on the scale, doesn’t mean that I didn’t overeat.  So on my “do over” post on February 11...

I didn’t forget. . .

I didn’t forget. . .
to weigh in yesterday.  You see, both Friday and Saturday night I stayed up late to watch some of my shows on the DVR.  Tony went to bed and Friday night I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. watching American Idol!  And of course, with no one looking, the cheese and crackers came out and it was a lot of mindless eating. I don’t know why...

I Can’t Quit You!

I Can’t Quit You!
I was so happy to see the sun yesterday.  Even though it was only in the low 20’s, somehow when its that cold and sunny, I think spring is right around the corner.  Sadly, we still have ice and snow on the ground, and I think we have some snow in the forecast later this week. Saturday night I decided to make a pot roast. ...
