Wanna really indulge yourself, or maybe put a few children on a cloud of pure elation? Then make a batch of Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.

You start with a package of Thin Oreos. Don’t know … [Read more...]
Let’s Go Surfing!
Heading to the Outer Banks? Come on in, the water is fine. At least that’s what the sharks say. This 8 foot Tiger Sand Shark was beached by a lucky (?) angler recently at Corolla. Hmmm! Maybe the pool at the hotel would be a better place to take a dip. As for fishing, it’s been good. TW’s says it was cloudy out, but hot, waves 1 to 2 feet this Wednesday with a water temp of yes 77 … [Read more...]
We Owned the Streets
Today, if you’re driving through a neighborhood and spot a child riding a bicycle (wearing a helmet and knee pads of course), the mom or dad who are always with the child has a conniption fit to get the biker out of the road and behind a hedgerow as quickly as possible. They are seemingly afraid that the approaching motorist will chase down the child and run him over. It wasn’t always … [Read more...]

Baked Tomato Slices
I felt creative a few weeks back. I also needed some color to add to my Chicken Stuffed with Cream Cheeses entrée. Why not bake some tomato slices, I thought? And I did. I decide to slice the smallish tomatoes and place them on a little round piece of wrap bread. It was the sun-dried basil version by Mission Wraps. I cut a circle with a biscuit cutter to match the size of the tomato. … [Read more...]
Plant a Butterfly Bush (Milkweed, Too)
Besides bluebirds, the most welcomed guests in my backyard are Monarch butterflies. They are like miniature, fine-art paintings flitting from bush to bush and flower to flower. They are magnificent creatures and they are threatened. Their fiercest enemies happen to be human beings, who are rapidly destroying meadows and the milkweed plants that Monarchs must have in order to survive. One … [Read more...]
Lights Out for Special Savings

She may buy 100 new fixtures for her showroom, Nancy B’s House of Lights. When they come in, we take down … [Read more...]
