(Contrast that with the fact that we celebrated Tracy's birthday in January this year - and her birthday was July 22, 2010! Vegetables and meat onto skewers for Nathan, artistically alternating vegetables and meat on the stick. Strawberry shortcake ala Sornsen. Once we g...

K Squared: Just One of Those Days
http://k2-kathie.blogspot.com/2012/03/just-one-of-those-days.html
Friday, March 2, 2012. Just One of Those Days. Friday is my "Library Day." I've been on vacation for 2 weeks so haven't been here in a while. I'm eager to arrive and "help" the folks who value and need my somewhat limited computer skills. Is keeping track of "almost sins." The two women confer and agree that sounds about right. What WOULD they have done if I had said "Twenty Cents? I'm given change for my $5.00 bill and sent on to the pick-up window. A few minutes later, I arrive at the library and notic...

Always my Dad's Christmas favorite), "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,". And one of my favorites, "I Love a Piano.". The highlights of the last 50 years, in context with counting our blessings.

If you look up the definition of Dulce de Leche, you will learn that it means Milk Candy. It is a mixture of sugar and cream and is heated slowly until it caramelizes and creates a thick, spreadable sauce. It is very popular in Latin America and is used as a spread or a topping for ice cream. A topping for ice cream?

But I am a true fan of my my mom's recipe.

A Big Cup of Tea. Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. Author Unknown. Monday, July 16, 2012. I have no idea what to call this? It's not a basket (especially since it's going on a boys bike; call me sexist). It's a little compartment for boys to keep crap in while riding on their bike or scooter. Should I call it a Bike Crap Holder? It turned out to be Battleship game pieces. We don't even have the game Battleship. Main and side dishes.
