Chick Chat :: New Chicks in Town

So the coop has been all atwitter with activity these days… ever since the New Girls came to town. I was feeling like we needed some new blood after Betty met her unfortunate demise a few months ago, but introducing newbies into an existing flock can be a little… well, complicated. I wanted to believe…

Good Enough to Eat, The Chicken Series – From Whole Chicken to Bare Bones

I’ll be totally honest. Despite the fact that I LOVE to cook and experiment with different foods, new vegetables and different cuts of meat, the ability to use a whole chicken has always eluded me. Well, maybe not eluded me, but it certainly scared the hell out of me. It was always so much easier…

Good Enough to Eat – Oven Fried Chicken

I must say, there’s something about summertime that makes me crave fried chicken. And while it’s been a LONG LONG time since any KFC or Popeye’s crossed these lips, I still think about it sometimes… with that satisfying crunch as you bite into it, that succulent chicken breast, juicy and moist.

Where’s My Oxygen Mask?

“In case of emergency, put your oxygen mask on first…” Every time we fly now I think about that phrase.

Let Summer Begin!

So yeah… still kind of recovering from the weekend. It was a whirlwind of insane traveling, parties, events and … well more insane traveling. I’ll be discussing it more this week, but remember my post on how to travel with 2 kids? It was useful. Very very useful. And with all of the activity, I’ll…

Happy Memorial Day

Did everyone have a good one?

5 Months Old :: The Peanut

She’s 5 months old now. *gasp* I seriously can’t believe it. It’s all sailing by in a sleep deprived blur, but DAMN is this kid cute. And fun. Well, as much fun as a 5 months old potted plant can be. She’s definitely got a spitfire personality, THAT’S for sure. She flat out REFUSES to…

Why I LOVE My Girlfriends

I love my girlfriends because We abandon our husbands and children to go out and drink wine every once in a while. (But not NEARLY enough.) We root each other on to be more “kind” to our husbands… *wink wink* We accept each other and ALL of our flaws. And most of the time call…
