Positive Thinking

Ok. I am pretty sure you all know that I am sick of being sick. I really want peanut butter blossoms, pasta with my homemade bolognese sauce or even just my homemade tomato sauce. I would love a huge salad with tons of vegetables and my homemade vinaigrette dressing. I could probably stomach some Italian…… Continue reading Positive Thinking

Blizzard…

Oh Bloggies. I am not holding back on you. There really has not been anything great to report. I have had a bit of a set back, because I woke up very sick on Thursday, went to the doctor / surgeons and was put on bed rest and back on a liquid diet. I was…… Continue reading Blizzard…

I’m back, sort of…

I was just reading my friend Ned’s blog, and it got me thinking of writing a post myself. It has been ages since I have written a post for Sugar & Spice. I miss the blog, and I also miss writing for the blog, cooking food, baking food and eating normal food. I’m going to…… Continue reading I’m back, sort of…

Where Have I Been?

Hi All – You might be wondering where I have been (or you might not have!) I have been in the hospital since Tuesday, November 30th. I only started eating “solid food” yesterday. I might be going home tomorrow – but I am not sure. Just wanted to let you all know where I have…… Continue reading Where Have I Been?

I do not bake…

I am not much of a baker, I must say. I do not do cakes, I have not done too many pies in my day, not many baked goods, well, you get the picture. On Friday I was going a bit stir crazy, so I decided to make some bread. I made the dough, but…… Continue reading I do not bake…

Food Filled Holiday…

I had such a food filled holiday on Thursday… and it was not even Thanksgiving yet! On Thursday afternoon, my friend Jane drove down from Boston to see my new home.

Oh how I have missed salads…

Mark and I have been in our new place for almost a month 😀 You have probably noticed that I have not written too much. I have not cooked that much. One reason for this was we did not have a refrigerator. My friend let me borrow a mini-fridge, and it was a huge help.…… Continue reading Oh how I have missed salads…
