Saturday!!
Saturday, May 04, 2019 28 comments I love Saturday. Got LOTS of sleep last night. And I've had my morning coffee. Made muffins and enjoyed one of them (yes, that banana maple walnut recipe I'm experimenting with!) Cleaned the third floor bathroom. Done three loads of lau... Read more
Grumpy grumpy grumpy
Thursday, May 02, 2019 33 comments OK then: not taking the grumps too seriously!! Just weather -- or like the tides. Will come. Will go. Tried my usual exercise routine this morning. And stretching. Ate a healthy lunch (salad with lean chicken). And: just g... Read more

Scrambled Eggs
Sunday, April 28, 2019 23 comments The very best way to make scrambled eggs? Slowly, in a double boiler that is just barely simmering. Melted butter first. Then the whisked eggs. Stirring continuously. This takes a while!! It's the slow cooking that creates ... Read more
More than a Calorie Burner: Shout Out to BessHaile!!

Walking
Friday, April 26, 2019 30 comments I do love the effects of the "formal" morning exercise routine -- four sets of 10 push ups, sit ups, mountaineers, squats. I can feel some muscle under my skin on my shoulders and across my rib cage and at the back of my waist and in my thighs.... Read more
