Freaky-Finger Friday
Posted by Janet on April 26th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (6 Comments)
Warning: This blog entry is not for the faint of heart! Let me start by saying that this is the first time I’ve been physically able to blog since last Friday, April 21st, which I’ll heretofore refer to as “Freaky-Finger Friday.” (If you discover any typos in this text, you’ll soon find out why, and [...]
E.T. Can’t Type

My accident-prone sister bashed in her index finger the other day, almost severing the end, and can’t write her blog entry today since her mangled finger’s wrapped up like a mummy (making it impossible for her to type). See photo below. Knowing Janet, the gory details will follow at a later date.
Life in the Country’s Not Bat at All
Posted by Greta on April 24th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (2 Comments)
There’s never a dull moment when you live in a 135-year-old farmhouse in the middle of a cornfield. One day the police drove right through my backyard and straight into the field searching for a stash of marijuana, the next day my dog was lured into a boxing match with a big, fat raccoon, resulting [...]
Cream of the Crop

Over the last few years, we’ve been geting more and more requests for gluten-free recipes, not just from those people with celiac disease who have to avoid gluten, the protein in wheat, barley and rye, but from others who suspect that wheat might be at the root of their digestive problems. Wheat does happen to [...]
Message for Dave Thomas

Dave, I realize that you’ve been promoted to general manager of the great fast-food-restaurant-in-the-sky and that you’re probably enjoying a fat, juicy, square hamburger as I write this, but please, please tell me what happened to my beloved Wendy’s Taco Salad! Who decided that it was a good thing to take away my zesty salsa [...]
My Dog Ate My Homework (Really!)
Posted by Greta on April 18th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (1 Comment)
It’s seems fitting that my dog would be obsessed with food. After all, Lexi’s been hovering around my kitchen island for over 6 years now, waiting to pounce on bits of cooking shrapnel that find their way to the floor. (I refer to food scraps as “cooking shrapnel” because I happen to be the world’s [...]
Make a Better Butter
Posted by Janet on April 17th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (1 Comment)
If you read Eat, Shrink and Be Merry!, you might remember that we wrote about butter and its many health benefits. It’s actually a good fat, and if you use it in moderation, it won’t make you fat and it won’t clog your arteries, either. Really! In fact, butter helps protect us against heart disease. [...]
Hammin’ It Up This Easter
Posted by Greta on April 14th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments
I can’t wait for Easter dinner this Sunday. I always look forward to dishing up a huge slab of my sister Margie’s baked ham (the kind with the bone in it) and all the other goodies that she, my mom, and my sisters prepare. We each contribute a favourite dish to holiday dinners and that [...]
