COOKING PARTY FOR ADDED LIFE FLAVORS

A cooking party around my house is a regular thing. Even if it’s just me. The requirements? Someone needs to take over the operation so I’m not the control freak. When it’s pizza baking, there are other things involved. Such as:

BLOGGER’S ROLE? IT DEPENDS ON . . . ?

The blogger’s role depends on context. And money. If someone offered you $25,000 per post, and they give suggestions? Come on, you’d listen, I’d listen. Who wouldn’t listen? But who would start writing?

BOOMER DREAM: I WISH I KNEW WHAT I KNOW NOW WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

A boomer dream sung by Rod? Poor old grand-dadI laughed at all his wordsI thought he was a bitter manHe spoke of women’s waysThey’ll trap you, then they use youAnd before you even knowFor love is blind and you’re far too kindDon’t ever let it show I wish that I knew what I know nowWhen […]

My two girls got their letterman jacket, their superhero cape, their cloak of invincibility. I broke out the ironing board and starch and scissors and applied them all to this game changer.

You know the important people in your life. How? Because they’re important to you. And you know why they’re important. Maybe you even tell them they are the important people in your life. But maybe you don’t, then what? They’ll tell you.
