I LOVE mustard. In any form; I always have. I put mustard on pizza, salads, veggies, pretzels, steak, chicken, and basically everything except dairy … including burns. I have a bone to pick with the genius behind the Breville panini press design. Why on earth does the exterior of the press heat to the same … Continue reading

Day before the day.
Today is the day before the day we have to light some candles under our butts and get to work on this house. On this day before the day, my mother-in-law gave me a very special gift – a family heirloom. How cool is this ring?! My father-in-law gave it to her 34 years ago … Continue reading

After all the hype leading up … Continue reading

<;;;;;a After warming up with some fall french toast this morning (see earlier post) while we watched the first quarter of our alma maters (Indiana University and Army) both offer another weak performance, we headed out to the gym for a dose of cardio. While getting my heart rate up on the stair stepper, I … Continue reading
