January Baking Project-Sugar Cookies
There was an interesting discussion with my husband, Earl, last week concerning my New Year Resolutions. No, he didn’t want to add things like wear high heels more often or give him massages every night. (He has been asking for those things for YEARS and they haven’t happened!)

Are the Holidays Making You Crackers?
Crackers. Loco. Bonkers. Daffy. Cuckoo. Deranged. Loopy. No those aren’t names Santa rejected for reindeers nor are they the names of some of the helpers in the Santa’s Workshop. (I have to say “helpers” because apparently elf is now considered politically incorrect.) Those first words define how I am feeling a week before Christmas. I …
Mrs. Claus Should Say “Please” If She Wants My Pimento Cheese Recipe
Ring. Who is calling now? The caller ID says “HoHoHo.” Hmmm, Santa? He was just here, why would he be calling again? Did he forget to tell me something? I picked up the phone and hear a woman’s shrill high voice talking a mile a minute. I stammered “Mrsssss. Claus, is that you?” And then …
