Ham, Ham, Ham, Ham and Ham
Last night while dinner was in the works, Julia asked if she could have a slice of cheese. It was still a while til dinner would be ready, so I said sure. She had two slices, in fact. And I told her that was IT until dinner. A little while later, Alex was hungry and… Continue reading Ham, Ham, Ham, Ham and Ham
Easy Miso Soup – To Soothe Your Soul. And Your Stomach.

A bit later that giant 4-year old's mom tripped over it, cursed, and set the house right-side up again. We all weren't home when it happened, otherwise we'd… Continue reading Inspired. Nudged.

The Family That…
One by one, we all fell this weekend. Well, Alex had already had his moment on Friday. I also had a sore throat that day, but it wasn't as important to me as Alex's breathing, so I tried to ignore it. By Saturday, I was the more miserable one, and then on Sunday - the… Continue reading The Family That…
Cakes – Godzilla Destroying a Village – 1997
I had fun making this one. This was a birthday cake for the son of a friend of mine. The cake was chocolate, 2 layers baked in 13 x 9 inch pans and then "1 cut in 2 unequal pieces to make 'beach' sections."
