Floor Granola

And then I saw it happen. The lid came off, the granola went flying, and all I could do was stare (briefly, because I was also driving down the freeway), and think of every curse word I knew. An extensive list, for the record. Ah, yes. The infamous Floor Granola. The Floor Granola Week wasContinue reading “Floor Granola”

Hurrying my life away

Lately I’ve been living my life based on what’s written in my calendar. What’s the next deadline? Flight? Meeting? My stacked schedule is self-inflicted (and I do love being on the go) but I’m finding I am more tired and cranky, less energetic and excited. Which frustrates me. I like to push myself to theContinue reading “Hurrying my life away”

A gentle reminder

Life has been crazy the last couple months. I haven’t spent a full weekend home since May, and in the meantime have traveled out of the country, across the U.S., and tromped all over the North State. I travel well, eat well, and laugh loudly – what’s not to love? Except, the highlights posted onContinue reading “A gentle reminder”

Ahh, the American Cheese Society Conference. The main event for all things cheesy, and host to the industry’s yearly family reunion. Come one, come all – cheesemakers, distributors, retailers, cheese professionals, and cheese enthusiasts. Over the course of three days there’s a lot that happens – educational sessions, the introduction of new products, networking, theContinue reading “Cheese-a-palooza”

Story of my life.

“My friends have made the story of my life.” I could easily expand on this quote to say: my friends have painted the pictures in my life’s storybook, my friends keep the pages of my life’s book bound, my friends are the creators of life’s greatest adventures, and so on. Regardless, I love this quoteContinue reading “Story of my life.”

Sweet Summa

I love a refreshing, easy, dinner recipe for summer. I also love any dinner that can be cooked on the barbecue and enjoyed outside. That’s the whole point of summer dinners! I’ve had a hankering for shrimp tacos and mango salsa for some time now, and with limited restaurants in my town, I had toContinue reading “Sweet Summa”

Oops, am I allowed to talk about religion?

If the title didn’t give it away, this post is about religion. I’ll admit I’m a bit nervous. Religion is villain-ized in today’s society, and with our PC-driven culture it is a big no-no. Especially if you want followers. But, hate me if you will (or just don’t read on), I am who I am.Continue reading “Oops, am I allowed to talk about religion?”

My dysfunctional relationship.

Dysfunctional is my middle name. Oops. Sorry ’bout it. It’s just how I roll. Case in point, I’m really hungover as I finish up this blog. We had a family friend’s wedding last night, and I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat much dinner, and no breakfast or lunch before that… then drank a bottleContinue reading “My dysfunctional relationship.”
