Birthday Songs and Fajitas
Birthday Songs. Do people still ask restaurants to sing to the birthday person when celebrating a special occasion? It seems that about 20-30 years ago that was the thing to do. You could do it one of two ways. When your server came to the table you could just blatantly tell them that it was …
Weekend Meal Takeover

Christmas Is For The Little Ones
Christmas is for the little ones. The season is all about them and making them shine. We enjoy every bit of them even when we have to poke their little eyes out. WHAT??? Why are you looking at your computer screen all weird? I’m talking about those cute little potatoes you see in the bags …
A Sister’s Love is Like a Bowl of Soup
The week before Christmas is always such a neat time. The hustle and bustle of trying to get things done, hearing from folks across the country and eating yummy things. When I was younger, I used to love the week before Christmas because it meant my sisters would be home from college. I lived at …

Have you noticed that there is a mood that is contagious during this time of year? One would think it would be an air of merriment given the holidays. Everywhere we go we get inundated with music that reminds us that it is Christmas time and we should be filled with cheer. The word joy …
