    Has a movie ever enraptured you so much that you feel like you’ve actually been there? Or you can physically picture yourself as a character in the film? I have a movie that does that to me almost every time and I swear it leaves me on cloud nine for a couple of […]

I hesitated adding the “No Cream” bit to the header above. I didn’t want to scare anyone. Sometimes, at least in my opinion, right away when something says “healthy” or “no cream” I automatically set the recipe up for failure. I’m like, there is no way this is going to taste good if a) it’s […]

  I had the most relaxing weekend of mah life. Literally. I actually did nothing. Well nothing as in, I didn’t have to be anywhere at any certain time. I also didn’t come into contact with anyone I knew. Which is quite surprising since the area I live in in St. Louis is like my family compound. […]

I happened to purchase mine from a local butcher and was kind of choking when he told me the price, however, the flavor […]

I hope your weekend was as smashing as mine.  haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ha. Not funny. However I did get fairly smashed. Almost as smashed as the potatoes you see pictured. However post smashing was filled with cream filled doughnuts, hot dogs and doritos and apparently some other crumb I couldn’t identify when I woke up this morning.  I complain […]

    My son currently has 4 teeth coming. Let me repeat :  FOUR. At ONCE. And let me just say he isn’t the most graceful teether. I’ve read about children either reacting to teething or not (who are those kids, and what the hell is in their milk. Share.) However I’ve also learned that […]
