One of My Favorite Subjects – Food

A little while ago, Trista of The Pumkin Patch tagged me for the “Where Do You Eat” meme. Since life has been busy with end of the school year activities, it has taken me a couple of weeks to play along.
I live in The Emerald State (Washington) in the United States of America. [...]

Finding Lucy

It never ceases to amaze me how some people happen on to my blog. A few of the search queries at least make sense and if you gave me a minute I could probably tell you what post came up when someone clicked over to my site from the search engine. [...]

Works-For-Me: The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook

Buying cookbooks is not something I do on a regular basis because I can’t stand it when I spend good money on one only to find out that I am not too fond of most of the recipes in the book. I would much rather check cookbooks out of the library or gather true [...]

Who Wore It Better – Keri or Sanjaya?

Bonk! It’s Not The Perfect Day

Not too long ago Lynn Bowen Walker emailed me and asked if I would like to participate in her blog tour for her first book “Queen of the Castle.” The title intrigued me so I hurriedly clicked on a link she sent to read an excerpt to see if [...]

13. Lucy needs to sort her life out. That is why I turned to Google for help.

In case you were wondering, this picture was not taken intentionally. It was purely caught on accident !!

Works-For-Me: Lysine Tablets

I despise canker sores and for whatever reason I used to be somewhat prone to getting them. I noticed they would plague me more often when I traveled and when I ate pineapple, lots of chocolate or spicy foods. Stress and lack of sleep also might have been contributing factors. Since I am [...]
