Sundays

I love Sundays.  I always have.  I don’t know why.
Growing up the Sunday routine was always as follows:  get up, go to church, come home and get changed.  We always had our main meal at noon on Sunday, prepared by Grandmom.  It always was (at least as far as I can remember) some kind of [...]

Just in case you can’t [...]

Spaghetti & Crabs

At the request of my blog-friend Matthew, I post my Grandmother’s recipe for Spaghetti and Crabs.  Matthew, this is one of those recipes that has no measurements.  I will do my best to approximate the amounts.  Since you are an excellent chef, I doubt you’ll have many problems recreating it and enhancing it!

Hungry…who me?!

Since I’ve been lacking in blog fodder for some time now, I decided to tag myself on this cute idea cribbed from XeniaKathryn at The Daily Grab Bag.

Lunch Out

The hubster is recovering nicely from his ankle tendon surgery so far.  The swelling is down some, he can wiggle his toes pretty well, and hasn’t had any pain medication in over 12 hours.  We are keeping it iced and elevated 24/7.
For those who may be interested, here is a good view of the lateral ankle.  [...]

Today I saw a nutritionist with the intention of getting help with my diet now that there are so many foods that I am allergic to.  It was a good meeting.

Food Fast

We are three days into the Sts. Peter & Paul Fast.  Father T told me to do as I am able.  What am I able to do?  Not much since most of the food aisles at the store contian not-okay foods.
