Easter Ham

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

My family has always enjoyed a nice ham dinner for Easter. As long as I can remember, we have made as much fuss over Easter Sunday Dinner as we do over Thanksgiving Dinner.

My mother used to prepare all kinds of great side dishes to serve with the ham. I personally liked her scalloped potatoes best, but my dad used to ave about the sweet potato casserole.

Dessert for Easter Dinner is always cake. Sometimes it is carrot cake, but most times it is a layered yellow butter cake with white frosting sprinkled with grated coconut. One year my mother made the cake cut out in pieces and put together to look like an Easter rabbit. Us kids thought that was the greatest cake, ever!

Check the Date

I don’t drink a lot of milk, but sometimes I want a cold glass of milk to go with something I’m eating. Milk goes really well with chocolate chips cookies. It also goes really well with brownies right out of the oven.

A word from the wise – if you are going to pour a big glass of milk – check the expiration date on the carton. A big gulp of sour milk will ruin your day.

Kitchen Space

Monday, February 21st, 2011

The main area in our house that is used the most is our kitchen. It seems that everybody always ends up there at some time or another. It’s the central place where everyone meets. The problem is that it tends to get cluttered as everyone leaves their stuff there. The kids leave their books on the table and the mail always ends up there too. That’s why we needed to clear up some space in order to accommodate everything.

One thing I noticed was the large amount of spices on the counter. I thought that by getting a spice rack we could save some space. There are a lot of different kitchen spice racks that you can purchase to help in this effort. I only needed to find the right one. I went online and looked up spice racks. I found a site that had just what I was looking for.

The funny thing is that I found some thing that I hadn’t thought of before. Instead of putting something else on the counter, we could hang them on the wall. I found a wall spice rack that would be just perfect for our home. We now have a little bit of extra space. It has worked out well and I’m glad I thought of it.

Winning the battle

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

There are many things that temp us in our lives. It may be a different thing for each person, but nearly everyone has some kind of temptation or another. My mom has always been tempted by food. No matter how much she tries, she always seems to be unable to resist eating more than she should. This has resulted in her being a little overweight. We have been looking for ways to help her lose the weight she gained.

We all love mom and want her to be healthy. Losing some weight would help her do just that. Her body is a little frail and so it’s hard for her to do a lot of exercise and so we were looking for another way to do it. We decided that weight loss pills might be the answer. It’s a proven effective way to lose weight quickly.

There is nothing too good for my mom and medical attention is no exception. We did some comparisons and shopped around for the best weight loss pills we could find. We finally decided on one that we thought would help her the most. It is working out fine so far and we are all hoping to see further good results. I am sure she will do fine in the future.

Where’s the Beef?

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

I think that just about everyone has visited the Taco Bell chain from time to time. I know I’ve had my share of tacos and hot sauce over the years. There are some though who believe that Taco Bell is not playing fair with the public. A lawsuit has been filed contending that there is not enough beef in each taco for taco bell to call it a beef taco.

A law firm is suing taco Bell and asking for damages and compensation in a California court. Taco bell has answered the charges by going to the public with newspaper ads saying their tacos are made of 88% beef, the rest being spices and fillers. All I know is that their tacos are good whatever they are made of!!
