Awesome pumpkin carved by the hubs.
I have a special place in my heart for Halloween.
My mom was a bit of a stickler about having candy in the house.
As in, we ate carob bars instead of chocolate.
But on Halloween, glorious Halloween, it was a sugar-high free for all. Read the rest of this entry »

As you might recall, I like a big fuss over my birthday.
Or, rather, I appreciate it if a big fuss is made.
So, when the hubs’ day rolls around, I like to pay back in full all of the doting attention I received on my birthday week.

But I *was* able to surprise him with a beta fish (named Walternate) and a bunch of rainbow-colored balloons.
“Baboooh!!”

And the almond biscotti was no piece of cake (har har).
But a skillet-baked chocolate chip cookie? Pish.
I mean, obviously, it has potential to be pretty good.
Is it cake? Is it a cookie? Is it pie? (yes). Read the rest of this entry »

Um, yeah. It was a high of 80 degrees here today.
So, while every blogger on the face of the earth is digging out the fall pumpkin recipes, I’m cruising like summer isn’t actually over.
Because in Florida … it isn’t.
Actually, now is the time of year that we by-gosh *earned* having suffered through 100+ degree heat for two months straight.
Now is the time when it starts being bearable outside. Read the rest of this entry »
