We’ve all seen the signs and heard the announcements. Washing your hands is one of the best ways to avoid contacting, or passing along, all kinds of illnesses. Many of us carry hand sanitizers at all times, ready to pull out at the first sign of germs or dirt. Hand sanitizers are also popping up…
I love the weeks before Halloween. It’s so much fun to see the creative ways people decorate their yards, and all of the scary (but in a nice way) products available for purchase. And of course, I really enjoy seeing the little kids dressed up in their costumes on Halloween night. But for me, what…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWl1QOoxzrc A few weeks after I first posted about my recent discovery of The Vicar of Dibley, my local PBS station dropped the show. I couldn’t believe it.
A recent thread at AAR on the lost art of cursive writing got me thinking about snail mail. I’ve always had horrible handwriting. In fact, the only grade of C I ever received in school was for a cursive writing class. I practiced, and practiced, but could never improve my writing.
Last night, my dreams were filled with wonderful food. Good bread, fish coated with a buttery sauce, delicious cakes, the perfect roasted chicken, and did I mention, butter. Yes, I finally got around to seeing Julie and Julia. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I found the parts about Julie’s blog, and her efforts to cook…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxPgplMujzQ&feature=related I’m a real sucker for reality dance shows on TV, and am totally delighted that So You Think You Can Dance started up again last week. And soon, Dancing With the Stars will be on again (although I’m much less excited about it this time around).
Lynn’s post yesterday about The Pull of the Water in the summer, and the rapidly approaching end of summer, got me thinking. I absolutely adore the summer (well, when we actually have one here), and truly wish I still lived right next to Lake Michigan. But, there are also things I look forward to about…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-wwbO4LUMY I used to watch a lot of sitcoms, but haven’t been a regular viewer of any for years. Recently, however, I happened on The Vicar of Dibley, and am now completely hooked on this hilarious show. My PBS channel is currently showing episodes from 1999. Since the show didn’t end until 2007, I have…
It was a big week for reality TV fans like me, with, for the most part, a lot of good things happening. I was very happy that Rick Bayless won Top Chef Masters, but was disappointed that Hubert Keller finished in third place. The finale was enjoyable, with the finalists being challenged to create a…
Yes, I’m on a new food quest. This time, I’m looking for the perfect glass of chocolate milk. Not hot chocolate, mind you (that will come next winter, I’m sure), but cold chocolate milk. About a month ago, I developed a craving for chocolate milk. I figure there are worse things I could crave, so…
