Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Well, over the holidays I took the chance and now I see that it wasn’t the best idea…. My stove was on fire this morning. Yeah. Fun times. Let me start at the beginning since I do so love to tell a good story. I’d baked an apple pie in the oven for Christmas dinner. [...]

The holidays would be SO much nicer if we weren’t harassed and harried to shop shop shop for seven weeks straight. All this shopping comes at a terrible time of the year, too– the onset of winter when food prices rise and heating costs go through the roof. It’s awful! For folks who may have [...]
