New Looks

The color and design of my blog that you see is called a theme. It is free from the WordPress collection online at WordPress.com. You can change the look of other things but they are called different names. I can change the color scheme of my Firefox browser, but that is called a persona. And the look on my cell phone is called a skin. It is all pretty much the same thing, the color and graphics that you look at, often as a border or background on the equipment.

Its the Money

I have a huge bowl of loose change. If I had a piggy bank it would have filled u[p all but the biggest one of those by now. The bowl is a pretty handmade wooden bowl from the Philippines that was a gift. So I like to leave it out on the dresser and look at. Except now it is filled with coins. So I need to find a way to transport all these coins to the bank and cash it in.

Pumpkin Pie

The holidays are coming and I love all the special desserts and teats that come with the holiday parties and dinner.

One of my all time favorites is pumpkin pie. I make them every fall and winter, and have to force myself to not make them year around. If I made them all the time, then they would not be special! And I would weigh many pounds more, too.

Marinade

Last time I walked through the entire grocery store, I was amazed at how there is now an entire aisle of ketchup, mustard, mayo and barbecue sauces. Mixed in with those are also all the marinades. Marinades are great for when you are grilling and for helping to tenderize cheaper, tougher cuts of meat. I use a marinade on the plank steaks and it makes the meat more tender and gives it a lot of flavor. If you like a hearty sauce, try the new A-1 Chicago style marinade on your next steak. It rocks!

Handicapped Parking

no parking

Do they call it handicapped parking spots anymore? The whole politically correct way of talking about people with disabilities, disorders, handicapped, challenged, etc. is getting too hard to keep up with.
