Today, I'm declaring my independence from the computer all day long!! (That is, right after this post....)
A smokin' gift idea for Dad
Friday, June 19, 2009
A new cookbook has indulged me with a state-by-state list of the best “serious barbecue” restaurants in the country AND recipes from said establishments. Check them out with Dad in mind!
Could you go home again?
Monday, June 15, 2009
I heard it not once, but twice, at my grade school reunion recently - stories of people moving back into the old neighborhood AND into their parents' old homes. Could you do it?
Apples on the barbie
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Bought a few too many apples at the market? Why not consider cooking them on the grill with your pork tenderloin tonight? Recipe follows.

It's grillin' season!

To be honest, there is no grillin' season in my family. We'll cook out in twenty-degree weather, if we can. But now that it's spring, 90 percent of our cooking will be done outdoors. I can't wait to try this eggplant and red pepper recipe.
Good news for coffee junkies, er, drinkers

Coupons without scissors!
Monday, May 11, 2009
I've never been a big coupon clipper. It was too much of a hassle to sort through and cut them out and, when I did take the time, I'd forget to take the darn things to the store. That's the genius of Shortcuts.com.
Have your margarita and eat it, too!
