Mmm…Soft Pretzels
I love soft pretzels. Love them. L-o-v-e them. Want me to say it backward? Them love I. When we go to a baseball game, I like to get a soft pretzel and a big Coke. (Only 37 days til Opening Day!!) I like when restaurants have pretzel bites for appetizers, and I like sandwiches on …
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Tonight for dinner we had Pepperoni Pizza Puffs. This recipe I found on Pinterest. Click here for the link to the recipe I used. I wasn’t sure at first that I could find my mini muffin pan; a few years ago, I had to move my cake pans to tubs in the basement because they …
Pajama Pants and Second Thoughts
Not wanting my son to feel left out, I whipped up a quick pair of pajama pants. Just in time for spring training this week, I picked up some baseball-themed fabric. C is a big baseball fan and he loves his Cincinnati Reds. He can tell you every player’s number, even the bullpen catcher (Mike …

Something Old is New Again
There’s this sweater I’ve had for years. Years. It’s my favorite. It was my favorite. I’ve had it since college and I used to wear it all the time. It’s a linen/cotton cableknit fisherman-type sweater and I always wore it with a denim shirt. It was one of my go-to outfits. I haven’t worn it …
What’s the Opposite of ‘Ode’?
A few weeks ago, I wrote an ‘Ode to a Snow Day.’ I looked up googled the word ode before I wrote it, to make sure I was using it correctly. I found that it is a poem that is written for an occasion or on a particular subject. I also found: an ode is …
