...the weather report says 2-3 inches possible. It's 5 inches deep out there and still coming down. We are due to get another 2-3 inches tonight, which, by the way it is coming down, may be another five inches. Then it will 'precipitate' in the morning and 'rain'...

Now we shed the five pounds we gained since the start of the holidays. You may if you wish diet along with us. Needed: an assortment of breakfast items, either diet bars or eggs, bacon, that sort of thing, no toast. An assortment of lunch items: Campbell's original...

We're headed for a dietary fling before we (in January) get back to the straight and narrow---a last little indulgence in things sugary and carbaceous...we'll shiver a little of it off. High today is 20, low tonight is 7, and we are going to be very prudent in our...

I haven't made actual baked mac and cheese in, well, forever, because it seems so small a thing to heat the big oven for. But last night, yes: our family recipe: large elbow macaroni, boiled done, and colby cheese cut in small cubes. Pepper. A little salt, not much. I...

So thank you very much!

This morning was snowing dust, fine, fine stuff. Now it's worked up to mid-sized flakes. It's so nice to have the snow. Along with it will come one day of 'blowing snow' and 3 degree temperatures...but still, I got that wonderful convection-thingie, and it does brown....

We live on an arterial, a major road. And just as we'd gotten all dressed to go, a woman ran out of gas, on a low tire, right at our driveway. So we got her tucked into our driveway (with the help of two guys on the street) and gave her a place to put her car, which...

Ask Jane the gruesome details. A years-long project. Within two scenes of finished. Two days before Christmas. The computer had failed before. Repaired. Then Carbonite failed. Still not working right---won't restore. Then the battery fell out of contact in the...

Crockpot cooking is real strange...tastes as if it's not going to blend, and then does. I've often used Middle Eastern spicing (cinnamon, clove, cumin, allspice) with meats because we don't get on with onion, but it's been so long since I've dared any garlic I wasn't...

We're cooking the sauce that will let us assemble a nice lasagna in 30 minutes come Christmas Day. Today is the day I cook spaghetti sauce. Because I'm having a nice Christmas dinner, but I'm not spending the day cooking, eh? The sauce: 2-3 lbs of ground beef (can use...
