Tuesday, September 11, 2001 In the wake of all that has happened to the collective us in the last month, there is so much we’ll never be able to forget. To those who fight the good fight, to those who step up when times are unimaginable, to those who love in the face of terror, …
Sweet E is four, y’all…4 1/2-years-old! Time continues to whip past, no matter how I wish it would slow its jets. As the saying goes: The days are slow, but the years are fast. I was reading though some of the older Sweet E posts and I came across this one. It stands the test …

Lasagna. Who loves to eat it but hates to make it? ~ugh~ So much time spent in the kitchen. Lots of folks hesitate to make it because it’s time-consuming, with the cooking of the noodles and the making of the sauce. What if I told you that this is the fastest lasagna you’ll ever make? …
I’ve been cooking for over 30 years and I feel like an idiot admitting this, but WHO KNEW (um, not me) that the appropriate length tongs make all the difference?
