I’ll be honest with you. We haven’t been on a real vacation in a long time, but we do visit family in other states and call it a vacation. It’s a vacation for us but I’m sure when our family of 9 descends on their houses they don’t feel like they are on vacation!

For mother’s day a couple of weeks ago I got some nice gifts. Two gifts which I asked for and received were some Fiestaware cookware and an electric wok. Our stove, which is supposed to be very “nice” (sorry Jenn-Air) doesn’t get very hot, and I have a hard time stir-frying successfully. I’m sure it [...] I was looking in my refrigerator the other day, and besides noticing that it really needs to be taken apart and cleaned, I thought about how there are certain things I always have on hand, both in the refrigerator and in the pantry.
