Food on Fridays

 I write about some aspect of food often enough that I decided to dedicate a day to it.The only logical choice?Fridays, of course, for that great "F" alliteration. I like saying, "I host a carnival on my blog called 'Food on Fridays'." It's fun!Anyway, if you write about food fairly frequently, why not make it on Fridays, too, and join me here?Food posts don't have to be a … [Read more...]

Christmas Crepes

Can you see and appreciate the dramatic difference? Each of the big jars contains twice the little jar.That's a lot of Nutella.I can get the regular jar (that … [Read more...]

6 Questions to Ask Yourself

I like to explore why I make certain choices or feel strongly about various issues. So I find that a few questions like these get me thinking and writing and praying. Sometimes I use variations on these questions with my friends, generating some interesting discussion. I'd love to sit and have tea with you so we could explore these six questions.

Crepes? Mais, Oui!

Every other week or so I make crepes. My family goes nuts. You'd think I told them we were going to shovel sugar straight from the sugar bowl into our mouths. Of course, that's not too far off reality. Crepes (once filled) are sweet. Crepes are also fattening. Crepes are delicious. In fact, when I'm feeling unappreciated, I simply pull out the eggs and announce a … [Read more...]
