I love lasagna. I make a really good lasagna. And yet somehow despite years of making lasagna and using the noodles, I never thought of using lasagna noodles for anything other then lasagna. This picture is of lasagna rollatini, which was sort of lasagna sliced, breaded and fried. It was fantastic! What kinds of dishes …
Wordless Wednesday
It started out where everybody had a stocking. Each person’s stocking was their favorite character. As the family grew so did the amount of plush Christmas stockings. Mom has always managed to find a new stocking that fit the person she had in mind. I have no idea how she keeps finding them. I love …
My Uncle stopped by shortly after Christmas. My Aunt had baked some cookies for us. At first glance what we have here is an ordinary gift bag. The bag contained a number of smaller bags. Even the picture doesn’t truly illustrate how many cookies there are. Combined, the bags weigh 6 pounds, and that’s after …

We had no choice but to take Jules to the vet this past week. He handled the trip in the carrier with no problem, chatting with me along the way. When we got to the vet they took his temperature. Of course, with cats they can’t just swipe the thermometer across the forehead or put …

These Christmas trees were in the lobby of the Essex House in New York City, where I stayed when I went into the city for the War Horse red carpet premiere. The one in the back is a regular tree and the one on the front is made of chocolate! Thanks for stopping by! If …
I loe Oreos. Double Stuf is my favorite kind. It seems like I’m seeing a new type of Oreo every month or so now, and they’re getting bigger and bigger. The Triple Double is yummy but I can only eat one at a time. Here’s another huge one, I haven’t tried it yet. What kind …
I broke down and got a real tree. There just seemed to be several signs that I should do so. I took my youngest CJ with me to pick out the tree. He kept pointing at different trees saying “want one” and “that one” and “trees”. His excitement was unbelievable and we had a blast. …
A friend and I went to lunch recently. She had shrimp sushi something. I don’t like sushi but they always manage to make it look so colorful. I had an open faced Bacon Tomato Cheese Sandwich – a little messy but very tasty. Thanks for stopping by! If you have a picture up for Wordless …
I ordered room service while I was away this past weekend.They sent up some rolls with butter. The butter was in the shape of little balls. I never quite got butter in shapes, since sliced butter can be plated nicely as well. Anyway. I got to wondering who rolls those butter balls. Is there a …
I saw a one pound package of ground pork, regularly $3.49, that came to $1.49 after using the $2.00 off instant coupon. I have never cooked with ground pork until then. I couldn’t pass up the deal. I came up with a tasty dish using other ingredients I had on hand, making the meal for …

Thanks for stopping by! If …
I’ve always thought that warehouse clubs like BJ’s carried popular products. You know, things many people use or cook. I happened to notice these in the meat department a few days ago and I was surprised. Pigs feet. YUCK! Do that many people eat or cook with pigs feet? What do you do with them? …

My Grandma made the most amazing potao balls. Unfortunately we don’t have her recipe. I found a fairly easy recipe that I decided to try, as a dry run for the holidays. I also decided that I wanted to make it gluten-free. This picture is of the uncooked potato balls. It probably wasn’t a good …

The other day I glanced over towards the picture window in the living room and saw a giant ball of fur that appeared. At first I thought it looked like it had two heads. Sure;y my eyes were deceiving me! Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jules, on top of Romeo – both …
