Basketball Beats Lasagna
Over the weekend we planned to have lasagna, but there were some good basketball games yesterday, and as I posted a week ago…during games you have got to have “game watching” food. So during the Davidson, Kansas game, homemade nachos became our Sunday night dinner.
We bought some white corn chips and a pound of lean ground beef. I [...]
Smack Down Weekend
Friday we had a high of 81, today we stay in the 50s and tomorrow we stay in the 40s. Now that is a smack down on spring. I am going to get to wear my sweaters and sweatshirts again. Maybe the Tarheel sweatshirt will be a nice fit for tonight. While I enjoyed the warmth [...]
Can The Weather Make You Silly?
I have always believed that the weather can affect your mood. Today for example, I have been in a good and fun silly mood. I felt this way despite getting up at 2:30 for work. Today’s weather can be the only reason. However, when I get a little silly some of the simpliest words can become fleeting, [...]
Only 3 more inches until 100.
Just a quick note from my friends in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and how sick they are of the winter snow. Milwaukee has had 97″ of snow this season! More is in the forecast so it looks likely that before the season ends they will have reached the century mark.
My mind goes back to 2000 [...]
Snow Timing
I have a great friend who used to work with me in Durham a long time ago. He had been living in the Mid-Atlantic for several years when he decided to move to Wisconsin for a better job. My friend loved going to Wrightsville Beach on vacation and just loved the ocean. I thought it very [...]
Tourney Food
When I first moved here I lived in Chapel Hill and would often go to Chapel Hill to watch the Tar Heels play in the NCAA. My main food choice was the liquid kind. Now that I am older, I enjoy the food more and the drinks less. You can’t beat homemade (not microwave) popcorn when [...]
Authentic Irish Soda Bread
My mom was born in Ireland and moved the the U.S. when she was 24. She gave me this recipe for Irish Soda Bread. I have seen many different recipes for Irish Soda Bread, but I feel like none can be as authentic or taste as good as this one. I have made this mainly [...]
Calculus Anyone?
Just read an interesting article about the mathematical equations used to predict global warming. According to the article, a scientist from Hungary, found that the differential equations used for the greenhouse gas effect on warming the earth’s atmosphere used and infinitely thick atmosphere, which he says can cause the numbers to accelerate and an unatural rate.
It is interesting [...]
Flying For Free?
This past weekend was shorter by one hour as we set our clocks ahead one hour to spring ahead. This was the equivalent of travelling to a time zone one hour ahead of us. (Except for having to take our shoes off.) I am sure I wasn’t the only one who felt one hour behind all [...]
Things You Find In Your Yard
Our recent rain has caused my grass and weeds to start growing, albeit unevenly; but the greening of my yard caused me to fire up the mower for the first cut of the year on Sunday. Usually, on the first cut, you have to deal with small tree branches and pine cones that have fallen [...]
