I‘m thinking this picture needs a title. Should it be “Odd Man Out” or “Vive la difference”? Either way, I can relate to the bright red cherry. It just depends on the day. But back to the cake–or is it a (read full article)
I keep wheat germ at my house to make skinny granola–or “cookies in a jar” as I call it. Because it goes rancid quickly, I’ve been looking for more recipes requiring wheat germ. These cookies may be the answer. The honey and (read full article)
My little sports car (rear-wheel drive) got stuck in the snow in front of my neighbor’s driveway while coming home from work last Thursday. Since I grew up in Indiana, that’s not a new experience for me. But in Texas??? We had record sn (read full article)
