Ahhhh, the weekend. This is the first one in over a month that we won’t have any snow. Dontcha know that I’ll be stuck inside doing our taxes! It doesn’t bother me too much – I’m sure the streets and stores will be busy with everyone who has been suffering from cabin fever. Besides, […]

Stocking and Organizing Your Freezer
With this week’s theme of “Outsourcing”, I thought that it would be helpful to talk about stocking your and organizing your freezer. You need to have room for all those make-and-take meals, right? Spending some time on organizing your freezer is worth the effort so that you are not throwing out food that has been […]
Hamburger Bake
When we came home with our first baby, Russell, Chuck’s mom brought us over this casserole for an easy “heat and eat” meal. Chuck loved it, and so I asked his mom for the recipe. It’s not anything special – I’m sure there are a hundred versions of Hamburger Bake, but it was tasty and […]
Outsourcing
I figure that it’s high time that I address outsourcing. That is, paying someone to do things that you can’t, won’t, or don’t want to do yourself. You probably outsource a lot and don’t call it that – if you own a house, you are calling a plumber or an electrician for that type of […]
Password Protection
Since you are reading this, I’m going to assume that you have a password or two or 200. At a minimum, we have the password for work, our email, to unlock your phone, to your social media, and to your kid’s school site. Add to that – if you are part of the ~80% of […]
Tuna Tortellini Casserole
Happy Ash Wednesday – the beginning of Lent! If you follow such things. I don’t, but I did growing up, and my mom still does, so I try to follow it for her. When I was a kid and my mom made tuna noodle casserole, it was definitely a “yuck” night. Mushy tuna with vegetables […]
The Bin Dump – 2/14/15
Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope you have some nice Valentine’s plans. My valentine and I are going to a comedy show tonight. I’m not really into this “Hallmark” holiday, so it’s the perfect outing for me. I am hoping to leave my troubles behind and have a few drinks and a few laughs (if […]
Haddock Provencal
Menu: Haddock Provencal * Rice Pilaf * Sauteed Spinach Time to dinner: 30m I try to incorporate fish into my meal plan as much as possible. Unfortunately, due to the high cost, and my family’s pickiness, I only have three fish dishes in rotation, and one of them is fish sticks, so I’m not […]
Filing: Paperwork and Bills
Bills, paperwork, and filing are the bane of my existence. I just cannot think of anything more tedious than going through mail and filing it. I’m convinced it’s the first step to getting your house condemned – all those hoarders have piles and piles of papers. It’s a naturally disorganized person’s worst nightmare. If […]
