For me the answer is a resounding NO. I predict right now you will never see a sandwich recipe on this blog. I mean, I like some sandwiches, but they don’t excite me and I avoid eating at restaurants and delis that only offer sandwiches. Lunches at my house consist frequently of finger food for…

Blueberry Custard Pie–And A Discovery
I had such high hopes for this pie. I mean, look at it, it’s so lovely with its layer of jeweled blueberries. But it turns out I really, really dislike custard pie. How was I to know? My mom never made them–she and my dad dislike them also. But John and the girls liked it–it…
BBD#13: Orange Cranberry Bran Muffins
It is amazing what subtle, friendly peer pressure will do for you. I had sworn off this month’s Bread Baking Day as just too much effort for a theme I was not bonkers about (100% Whole Grain), when Susan, of Wild Yeast, commented in response to a comment I left on her blog that she…
The Aroma Of…? Mancatcher Cocoa Brownies
Is there anything so wrong as fresh baked goods you cannot smell? Brownies coming out of the oven that might as well be mud? Boy I hope this does not last. Supposedly it could last as long as 3 months, and anything longer would be in the realm of incredibly rare (and even 3 months…
Taste & Create: HoneyB’s Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies
That’s a bit of a mouthful! But I found the recipe on HoneyB’s blog–but she in turn found it on another site, posted by Brooke, apparently. 🙂 Anyhoo, in a fit of deviated septum induced madness I signed up for Taste and Create this month. I don’t know *what* I was thinking–since we do not…
Pico De Gallo Made with 4 Colors of Tomatoes
My mom was driving up today to help me with the kids while I am recovering from my surgery. Everyone says the recovery is easy–and it probably is, relatively speaking–but I doubt they have chasing toddlers in mind as a good recovery strategy. Anyway, I just wanted a simple, easy dinner since I knew I…
I Feel Like A Truck Hit Me…
Hey this is just an update to let you all know the surgery went fine, but I am still publishing posts I had written up from before the surgery. I did not realize you could backdate on Blogger (although I do now) or they would not look so odd–you know references to August 19 being…
Tick Tock, Tick Tock: Laura’s Thai Green Curry with Summer Vegetables
When I scheduled this deviated septum surgery for August 19 it never occurred to me how much it would shorten my summer. It has probably been exaggerated in my mind, but I feel like everything that I have not accomplished yet with my summer must be done before next Tuesday. Taking the kids boating with…
Trish’s Zucchini Bars
I have had this recipe bookmarked in the back of my mind for almost a year now. I first had these cookies at a “bring a side dish or dessert” housewarming party for someone in John’s department. I took Mocha Truffle cookies. The secretary for John’s department, who was unable to be at the party,…
