Apple Crisp

Saying no. Sometimes this is the only thing to do. E (my 7 year old) was home with a bit of a flu this week. He has actually been lying on the couch whining and whimpering for several days. Today was the first day he felt better and he asked me to make him an

White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on January 27, 2008

My younger son E, did the drawing above. He has been very into his art lately, creating a series (crayon on paper) of skateboarders doing tough jumps. Yesterday he asked me if he could have his own flickr account (as all cool budding artists do). I thought that was a bit precocious for age seven

Why Glass?

Posted on January 8, 2008

Eight days into the New Year and it seems as though the post-holiday blues have hit. We’ve had more than our usual share of cold dark weather here in Colorado, and all I want to do is go into hibernation, sleeping day and night. Of course, that’s not what’s taking place in my reality. This

Simple Bread

Posted on January 2, 2008
