Time again to break out the appetizers for a heavy hors d'oeuvre menu! The Super Bowl comes at dinner time this year, a perfect time for finger foods. Even if you aren't going to watch the game from Tampa, you still might enjoy a finger food meal for the Puppy Bowl, or perhaps a Sunday …
Well, I cannot decide if it was bad news day or good news day yesterday. My dental appointment that I have dreaded for days was postponed due to snow. We didn't get any snow at our place, but apparently the area where my dentist lives did. So, all that anxiety will now be postponed to …

These are such versatile vegetables, and can go sweet or savory. My Sweet Babboo is sweet enough, so he prefers savory versions. He saves the sweet …
OK, so I am trying to learn how to use this new bloody editor on WordPress, and it is giving me no end of headaches. They keep saying it is 'easier'. NOT!!! What used to be a simple copy and paste to put a picture into a post is now a series of clicks, then …
