Happy Anniversary! Oh, what? It’s not your anniversary? Aw, that’s too bad, cause it’s mine and it’s one hell of a day to celebrate it! Three years ago today, my wonderful husband and I were married. Want to see pictures? No? Too bad… We’re Married…OMG! And after all that panic and hair curlers, make up and sweaty
I’m a big fan of finger food. I like getting right in there, using my hands to eat. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the use of utensils, and contrary to a recent episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, my child (2 years old) does and will learn to use forks, knives and spoons (and

Pleasing everyone is impossible, yet getting them to eat what’s in front of them might not be. Often, as the family on

If there is one thing about the cooler weather that I, inexplicably, love, it is the fact that it’s damp, cold chutzpah sends me fleeing into the house.
