Dinner Returns. Got basil?
A few of the most delicious dinners I know can only be made during a short span of the warmest months each year – that magical time when the tomatoes are ripe. These include tomato and bread salad (my recipe to ensue when we’ve got some nice big beefsteaks ready to go), bruschetta with a [...]

Training on Tuesdays: Cool Tool!
The sensible health and fitness pundits always make it all sound so easy: If you want to lose weight, simply make sure your caloric output is greater than your input. Well, duh! We all know that. Making it happen is another thing altogether. If it were such a snap, do you think weight loss would [...]

Monday Melange
Having spent most of my vacation time in active mode, I don’t have much exciting knitting to share on this Monday. Come to think of it, I don’t have much exciting stuff at all. Some of the things I considered writing about today, but discarded for lack of substance, include:
1. Knitting. See above. I took [...]

No Place Like Home.
Dorothy had it right with those ruby slippers – no matter what crazy stuff lies over the rainbow, it’s always so good to be back in your own digs.
My unusual posting patterns during the past week were occasioned by a family vacation to the lovely and scenic state of California. Since my house was sitting here [...]

10 On Tuesday?
Well, yes, I do know it’s Thursday. Things are a little different around here this week – I’ll be back to “normal” by Monday with any luck. For now, here are my Ten Least Favorite Celebrities…
1. Rachel Ray. Ew, ew, ew. I can’t even stand her with the mute button on.
2. Paris Hilton. She takes [...]

Not Quite Like Marie.
When I was photographing the needlepoint pieces for my Grandma Marie post, I couldn’t resist taking a snap of this:
Yep. I made this. Counted cross stitch, fall of 1986, my last semester in college. I gave it to my mom for Christmas that year, and it hung on her wall until we dismantled her house [...]

Marie’s Handiwork.
In my last post, I recounted a brief biography of my grandmother, Marie Haldimann. As advertised, I’d like to share some of her wonderful needlepoint with you. According to my mother, grandma stitched all of these without benefit of a pattern. It’s possible that she did some graphing before she started stitching, given the color variations and such, but [...]
