Playing the banana lottery

I have four guys in my family. Nobody really cooks much, so I try to keep reasonably healthy and easy-to-eat (read: no actual cooks are used in the making of this item) foods around for them. Bananas are on the list. But my family is funny about bananas. They will love them, devour them, never [...]

Eat Free Every Night

I wasn’t terribly surprised by the content of this video. I’ve known a few people (who were not homeless) who regularly eat the food our country throws away. I’ve been a part of the system that tries to reclaim some of it by taking it to shelters and even sending it to (yep) pig farms. [...]

Breakfast Curiosity

Saturday morning I got up to make sausages and pancakes for me and the five guys in my house (ages 41, 14, 13, 10, and 7). I set out six napkins with six forks on top. At the end of the meal, one fork remained untouched (??) and five napkins had never been used. I [...]

I Sleep Like a Hotdog

I roll back and forth, all night long. The Husband sleeps like a hamburger. Flip once onto each side.

the big gross-out

I just read Sarah Brown’s Heebie Jeebie post and nearly perished laughing and gagging at the same time. I obsessively read every single comment as well. And began compiling my own list of stuff that utterly creeps me out. 1. Those little wooden “spoons” they used to give you to eat your tiny plastic cup [...]
