Honorable Mention Winter White Chili
11.02.08 | Permalink | 23 CommentsDick is great in that he’ll eat, without complaint, whatever I cook. He’s also a bit of a philistine in that he’ll praise tuna noodle casserole as much as crab bisque. (I mean, if I made tuna noodle casserole). (Or could afford real crab).

A Day Without French Fries
06.12.08 | Permalink | 12 CommentsMy lovely sister, who is going through a divorce, is down to 107 pounds. That’s high school weight, or maybe junior high. While she wouldn’t recommend the Pull Out Your Still-Beating Heart And Allow Your Spouse Of Seven Years To Stomp On It diet, she is looking good. I think she’s too skinny now but [...]

05.01.08 | Permalink | 13 CommentsThat title is a bit misleading. Only a few of these are bars. The rest are cookies. Randi at i have to say is holding her monthly Recipe Box Swap, on bars and cookies.
