Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Wow, I can’t believe another year is in the books!  I can’t believe in 2014 I’ll be 46 years old.  Seems the older I get the faster life goes! It’s cold in my part of the world – like –4 degrees but with the wind chill feels like –15.  Jacky, I hope you keep warm when you go to work downtown!  I feel for you!...

The Great Onion Debate–We Win!

Regular and long time readers will know that Tony and I despise onions.  Growing up our families cooked with them on a regular basis.  We would complain that we don’t like onions, our mother’s response would be “you can’t even taste them” to which we would reply “then why put them in anything?!”  I believe it was on our second or third date that we...

Oh hello!

Oh hello!
Yesterday was a long day.  One of the secretaries was out at the law firm, and I was steady busy all day long.  It was a creepy drive into work – very foggy! I ended up planning my food for the day – first time in a while!  Breakfast was an egg white zucchini omelet, with about 1/2 an ounce of mozzarella in the middle,...

21 Day Sugar Detox

21 Day Sugar Detox
I had plans to spend the day with my brother, but unfortunately, he was sick yesterday.  It started with one of his girls on Monday, his other daughter got sick on Tuesday, and yesterday, it was Charlie’s turn.  I can’t afford to get sick – especially today when I work both jobs, so Tony and I ended up spending the day together.  After getting up...

Best Christmas Present Ever!

Best Christmas Present Ever!
It’s weird being at the hospital on a holiday.  The Outpatient Pavilion where Tony was to have his colonoscopy closed at noon.  His appointment wasn’t until 11:15, so by the time he was ready to go in and I was to sit in the waiting area, I was the only one there. Here’s the deal about me and Tony.  I am always 100% positive, and...

A Restaurant Dinner at Home

A Restaurant Dinner at Home
I had every intention of being a lazy person yesterday because its my one day of the week that I don’t have to be anywhere.  Tony made me brunch – spicy scrambled eggs, hash browns made out of frozen french fries and toast with jalapeno jelly.  The battery of my DSLR is being charged – underneath my desk at work.  I plugged it in Friday...

Ugly Sweater and Snowmen!

Ugly Sweater and Snowmen!
Every year I put together our firms holiday lunch.  It’s just one less thing my boss has to worry about it, and it usually works out really well.  This year we decided to throw in an ugly sweater contest.  When I was at Good will on Thursday, I bought this red sweater with fur around the collar and arms.  I bought tiny ornaments meant for...

Biz and the Pie Man!

Biz and the Pie Man!
I was actually kind of tired of eggs for breakfast, so I just started tossing things into my lunch bag and went with it.  I ended up with a Chobani yogurt, a Nature Valley high protein granola bar, an ounce of pecans and an orange.  Eclectic?  Yes.  Delicious?  Yes!   Peach is becoming one of my favorite flavors.  Still have not found the coconut!  I’ve probably...

What’s your best White Zinfandel?

What’s your best White Zinfandel?
While it was chilly yesterday, somehow if the sun is out, it puts me in a better mood.  The drive in was so pretty – look at that sky! And when I got to work, of course, more treats.  This time someone brought donuts.  I am not going to say what the long john and two donuts on the left look like.  My Mom and...

A Double Day

A Double Day
I never used to be able to make omelets.  I’d be really careful, tilting the pan back and forth letting the egg get underneath the already cooked egg.  It would get just to the point where it would be time to flip and it would always break on me.  Now?  I don’t do a thing.  I put all my ingredients in the pan – 1/2...
