Thanksgiving is here! Here is the Menu: One, We will be making this turkey again. It is the best and we just can’t change it. I have started roasting it in an oven bag, too. It doesn’t get the skin as crispy, but no one here eats the skin that much anyway. Make this turkey! …
If you followed the last post regarding roasting your Fall vegetables, then this salad will be easy! It is the quintessential salad for Thanksgiving: lots of bright greens, deep orange squash and radiant red fruit. Simple to put together and it can be prepared the day before or even several days before you need the …
Oh yes, we have LOTS of spaghetti squash here thanks to Aldi. The stock up store. And their 69 cents squash sale! Unless you want to stock up on: canned green chilies and whole wheat sandwich buns…. then you’re pretty much out of luck at Aldi. 🙂 But back to the squash. This recipe …
Book: Still re-reading “The Last Child” by John Hart. In the meantime, I discovered “The Good Wife” has Season 6 released on Hulu. One of the smartest shows ever! The writing is so funny, and you learn so much about the behind the scenes of politics and the law. Recipes: I almost titled this post …
Okay, I should call these “Quick Baguettes” because true French baguettes require a very long overnight rise time. If you have that kind of time, here is a good French Baguette recipe. Great for sandwiches, side dishes and soups! As for me and my house…. we will be making fast baguettes. 🙂 These are super …
Good Morning! It is our First Day of School here! Book: I finished “Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty. I think her last name rocks! What a fun last name, don’t you think? But anyway, the book is hilarious, the ending is jaw dropping and the conclusion perfect. Great beach read and fun fiction. …
Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
Book: I finished “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult… since my library gives me ONE week to read this particular book or suffer $1 per day! But I can’t say anything about the ending or that might ruin it for you and you do NOT want to have the ending ruined in this book. I probably …
TED Talks “Math Class Needs a Makeover”: I always find these TED talks sooooo mind-bendingly interesting. This one is my new latest favorite. Dan Meyer speaks to the audience about the backwards way students are presented with problems. His premise is that the math problems in textbooks are nothing like real life. No one in real …
Book Update: I finally finished a book! Good golly it’s been like 3 months. Anyway, I read the book Michael Connely’s “The Gods of Guilt”. It was a typical Michael Connely book – fun, twists and turns, fast paced. If you haven’t read one then start with “The Lincoln Lawyer”. And, no I …
