Chicago Style?

My wife just posted her very very good pizza dough recipe. (see my last post) I love her pizza. I’m not at all complaining, but last year I was introduced (thanks to my bud Peter Pallock) to Chicago style pizza. Right here in San Antonio – native Chicagoan Peter found a better than average (in [...]

Pizza Night !!!!!

Life in a shoe: the methods and madness of one mother of 7: Friday Night Pizza My wife just posted her better-than-pizza hut recipe for pizza crust. I love my mom AND her cooking but (don’t anyone tell my mom I said this). I like Kim’s crust better! It’s cheap easy and we’ve been enjoying [...]

Friday Night Pizza

Every Friday night, we have pizza. This was the tradition of hubby’s family for many years, and it has been faithfully practiced in our house as well. We usually have company, but if the children are sick or it has been a very long week, we might eat alone.Sometimes we had pizza Thursday, and maybe [...]

My Advertisers

I want to make sure all my readers notice my Blogads on the sidebar.I don’t get paid by commission or per-click on Blogads, and nobody put me up to this, but I’m very thankful to have ads that I can fully stand behind – no ethical dilemmas here! We all know and love Crystal, right? [...]

Checkbook tips?

I laughed when I first came across a description of the split-covers idea for sharing a bed with a blanket-grabber or a sheet-kicker-offer. Have you ever heard of that? You make up a king size bed with 2 sets of queen size top sheets and comforters, tucked securely on both sides and overlapping in the [...]

Health food for Christmas

mmmm…Nothing says, “You’re special” like a box of Godiva Dark Chocolates. A true friend is concerned about one’s health, and it was so kind of the Horn family to consider my special needs in their gift to our family.Since the gift was presented on the day that I had no voice, I could only smile [...]

Effortless Eggnog and Chai Tea mix

I found this easy recipe for a thick, creamy eggnog in the December issue of my Taste of Home magazine, a gift from my grandparents for the last several years.We modified the process slightly, mixing it up directly in a half-used jug of milk. Perfect! A bit of rum flavoring might be a pleasing addition [...]

Happy Birthday to me!

My middle name is Noel.Today is my birthday.A lot of people felt bad for me when I was a kid. “What a time for a birthday. Do you ever get a party? Do you get many presents, or is everyone too busy with Christmas?”But I always thought it was a great time for a birthday. [...]

You’ll have to use your imagination

The cat knocked the digital camera off the counter and now it’s dead. Er – the camera, not the cat. We forgive the cat. The dangling wrist strap was just too much for a cat to resist, even if he’s huge and fat and lazy and gives his mice to the other cats when he’s [...]
