While I was watching one of my cooking shows one day, Mike remarked to me, "You know what I want to see? I want to see one of these TV chefs not excited about one of their dishes. 'This recipe, it's okay, kind of eh'." I laughed and told him I didn't see that happening anytime soon, but it made me think about the joy-factor...

So I'm going to have to start off with an apology. I know I learned somewhere that you are never supposed to start something off with an apology, but I've forgotten what and when I learned this, so as you can tell I was a stupendous student. :)Anyways, on to my apology.

So I've been talking about Mom a lot recently, and I figured I'd do a quick post on her. :)Here she is showing off her Easter dress.Here's the embroidery since the sling was blocking it.

I mentioned having two recipes for my "Goodbye to Winter (I Hate Snow) Girl's Night", but I ended up only having one. So sorry, I completely forgot...

Yesterday was so busy!Mom is not cleared to drive yet, but she doesn't need surgery {score!!}; however she is still only in the splint and ace bandage for another week.  So the boys and I were her chariot service yesterday. We had a...
