File this under: Things My DIL Has Taught Me. My DIL has taught me lots of fun things, one of which is that there is someone who can match Boy’s inner/outer geek. Nice! Lately, with Sweet E’s arrival, Girl is teaching me about cloth diapers (not the cloth diapers from our generation…not even close), specialty …

Life is a ball of snapping rubberbands with a soothing center of delicious cream-filling. I think of it as mostly sweet goodness with the occasion surprising sting. Last week, I got more than my fill of the glorious gooey center. Girl was returning to work and she asked me if I would consider coming for …
Have y’all met my new pretend BFF, Gaby Dalkin? No? Lawsy, that woman can cook. As most of you know, she had me at Slutty Brownies (which I have since used to bribe the Time Warner guy to complete the rewiring for my Internets as fast as he could). If you missed the whole Slutty …
I have been in a baking mood in the last few weeks and since I was raised right, I’ll share! When I started out, I thought I’d make a specific brownie recipe, but instead had to adapt because I was short on a few key ingredients. OMT’s Toffee Chip Cookie Dough Brownies are the result: …
What makes us, us? Is it mostly genetics? I largely swing to the DNA side of the aisle because even when I’m trying as hard as I can not to, I hear The German and see The German in my idiosyncrasies. Her “Oh my Got, Patti!” rings through the air. I can’t escape it, people. …
Do you like a sweet glazed donut? (YES!) Do you like muffins? (YES!) Then you’re probably gonna want to try this simple recipe for Glazed Donut Muffins. (Y-E-S!) Sunday, we had a very sick dog on our hands and then mid-morning three emergency vehicles were parked next door. I did what I do in these …
I live in the South, y’all. We love our pulled pork. Love. It. I thought about how ridiculously easy it was to make and that maybe you’d like to try it (if you haven’t already). #1) Buy a pork shoulder. During the holiday season, these bad boys are relatively inexpensive. I buy in bulk and …
…or as we say here in Texas, going to the dawgs. My family is big on dogs. Big, hairy, messy dogs. Husband and I have had them our entire married life, with only a sad two-year period when we were dogless, yet Boy’s crusty cantankerous 18-year-old, then 19-year-old, cat remained. We started our married life …
I was suckered by Pinterest…again! A baker, a trusted baker, said she’d found the perfect white cake recipe; she promised I’d never have to look again. It was her own recipe, one she had adapted from a well-known source, that she promised she had made much better. With that kind of hype, and her trusted …
The title of this post is something Husband said to me after I got the call to head to Boy and Girl’s home to help with Sweet E, but couldn’t because I had caught a cold. You’d Never Make It In The Big Leagues Yes, we relate our life to sports stuff around here. I …
