Powder Puff Football and Manleaders
They were wearing pink but playing football. I never heard of powder puff football when I was growing up, we called it flag football. I liked flag football in gym class, except for the time I ran straight into a boy name Hugh Tozer and broke my nose! Hugh was a big guy.
I guess when it’s [...]
Bill The Air Conditioning Tech
After doing some sit-ups upstairs I noticed it was getting a little toasty in our rec room. I went over to the thermostat and nothing. I couldn’t get the air, the fan, or even the heat on. Oh oh. Fortunately, believe it or not, I didn’t have time to deal with the air conditioner or lack [...]
Store-bought Homemade Chicken Salad
Costco has really good chicken salad that they make at their store. It is about $5 a pound. Of course Costco being Costco, you are buying at least 2 pounds of it. Still it is very tasty. Yesterday while perusing our local Costco, I saw their rotisserie chicken $5.
Costco uses its rotisserie chicken for its chicken salad, [...]
Garden Is Growing
I hated to pay for it, but I forked over about $3 for a couple tomatoes that we needed for our holiday weekend burgers. I put them on my burger, but they were kind of bland. There wasn’t much I could do though, as my lazy-man’s garden was planted just last month.
My potted deck garden continues [...]
Vacation Deal$
The e-mail in my in box was from the hotel in New York City where we have stayed in the past. They are saying hi and obviously trying to get some business.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of the summer travel season. Our Memorial Day weekend will be a stay-cation, but summer vacation time [...]
Watering Tip$
Read on MyNC.com/Durham that my water rates are going up in Durham, again. They raised rates, it seems, just a little over a year and a half ago. I guess we aren’t using enough water, so the utility needs to bring in more money. Conservation can get expensive!
We are getting into the time of the [...]
Saving With Coupons
Good times, bad times (I think that is a Led Zeppelin song), well anyway, no matter what the times;I have always clipped coupons. It is one of the benefits of still getting a Sunday paper. Most of the time I stay with products that I would normally buy, but every once in a while a [...]
Top Selling Recession Food
As I was biting the tail off my Easter chocolate bunny, I read about things that are selling during more during our recession. And guess what, chocolate is right up there. Everyone needs a little comfort food when times aren’t as comfortable. I don’t think I have found myself buying anything different over the last [...]
It’s Greek To Me
Moussaka, patistio, souvlaki, just some of the food I got to taste and not pronounce at the St. Barbara’s Annual Greek Festival for Durham and Chapel Hill.
I usually make it a family tradition to cook Sunday dinner for my family, but this was an exception. It was rainy and cool, so instead of grilling, we [...]
Good Luck Hurricane Fish Burgers?
While watching the game last night, I decided to try a frozen salmon burger. I usually opt for beef, but we bought some salmon burger because my daughter enjoys salmon.
These were pre-formed patties from wild caught Alaskan salmon. I put one in the toaster oven during the first period while the Hurricanes trailed 0-1. When it [...]
