Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Can I just tell you how addicted I am to these muffins.  They are so unbelievably good I have to hide them from myself.  I’m not kidding.  That doesn’t really work but the problem is I cannot be left alone with these things.   Ready for their name?  Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.  No further explanation necessary.  The chocolate and the subtle…

Happy Easter from our crazy house to yours!  We wish you all an enjoyable day with family and friends. Memories From Easter’s Past……. This is my oldest hooligan when he was two years old.  He was soooo into The Wiggles and Bob the Builder.  It looks like the Easter Bunny made his day. At the time I was still a hyper-spastic…

It’s A Man’s World…I Guess

Overall, I’m not a big fan of Chardonnay.  I’ve always tried to enjoy this wine and understand the addiction surrounding it.  Mostly, I want to join in the hoopla that makes this wine one of the most popular varietals today.   Strangely enough, even with my dislike, I continue seeking Chardonnay out, thinking this time will be different; the Chardonnay my palate accepts as friendly.  This one will be…

My First Human Experiment

It all began when they handed you to me in the hospital; a burrito is what first came to mind.  How did they wrap you up like a burrito?  Was I supposed to be able to wrap you up like a burrito?  I had no idea what to do with a live, wet burrito.  Was there a burrito class? Why…

Wow, I decided it’s really challenging to take a picture of salad.  But at least this photo allows you to see all the little bits of stuff that makes this salad especially yummy.  Perfect for Spring, entertaining and Easter.  Aren’t you glad you found it?  It’s called, BIG LEAF FRUIT SALAD.  Doesn’t that sound completely caveman?  “You get big lettuce, me get big…

Did You Know I Am A Sentimentalist?

I know they don’t look like much.  Two naked bottles.  Label-less.  Foil-less.  Cheap glass.  No carefully crafted story on their backsides.    One white French Colombard.  One red Grenache Noir.  At least I think it’s Grenache Noir.  It pains me that I am not sure.  I know I have it written down somewhere…  Yes, I’ll admit it.  I am someone who…
