Dinner for One

Hey Blog Friends – So, I’m flying solo tonight, and a lot this week. My mom is in Florida (it’s 82 degrees in the Tampa area right now!) and she is having a great time, and great weather 🙂 Tonight I went back to an easy and fun meal – ramen. On the train home…… Continue reading Dinner for One

I Survived Tuesday – Did You?

Hey All – Well, thanks (perhaps) to some FB good wishes from a West Coast friend, today was a better day! I took the train in to work today with Tim. We caught up on culinary issues, and family stuff. The trip went by pretty quickly. A lot better than sitting in traffic, that is…… Continue reading I Survived Tuesday – Did You?

Bad Work Day, Great Run

Oh my goodness. Do you ever just have one of those days that you do not ever want to think about again!? Well, my day was not that bad, but the morning got off to a pretty horrible start.
