Last week, The Fellows and I went to see Roger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella at the 5th Avenue Theater. This was her first big musical and I was a little concerned. At first, she was a little luke-warm about the whole thing. She promptly informed me that she didn’t want to go if she had to [...]
Well, let me tell you. These things are the bomb. They actually are the perfect mix between dishcloth and paper towel. They clean up like a paper towel with the re-usability of a dish towel. They are washable in both the washing machine and the dishwasher and you can microwave it to sanitize it. I put one through the dishwasher the other day and it came through beautifully.
For months I had been complaining about how my towels smelled like mildew when I got out of the shower. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was causing it. I nagged Karli about not letting the laundry sit in the washing machine and I bitched about the bathroom fan not being effective enough, but no amount of bitching and moaning or even changes in habits seemed to fix the problem.
People always say not to sweat the small stuff, but sometimes it’s the small stuff that can make he biggest difference.
This summer I have been trying to do little things around the house just to make life simpler or prettier or just nicer in some way. It’s funny what can change your life in a small yet very significant way.
Our poor Oscar the cat has been dealing with mats for the first time this summer. He has never had this problem before so I was surprised when several pretty large mats showed up on his back (at the tail end) seemingly out of nowhere.
I has been very exciting watching the transformation of our backyard.
Just yesterday we completed the deck. Done, finished. It only took a little under a year. No biggie.
There really nothing more to say… I simply could not believe it, I had to take a picture. We are very lucky with our long haired cat in that he doesn’t require the same level of grooming of other long-haired cats that I know. His hair doesn’t mat up and he is generally pretty good [...]
I can not tell you how excited I am right now! We bought this house eight years ago in August and it has been a giant project and a huge learning experience. I think we could both honestly say that we would never have bought this house if given another chance to make that decision. [...]
When I was little my mom used to make me poached eggs when I had an upset stomach. It has become of form of comfort food for me.
The problem is that poaching eggs in water is messy and kinda smelly and a good portion of the egg white is lost to the spinning web of egg white strings (yuck). Yet, poached eggs are still my favorite way to eat eggs and when I started The Gabriel Method and knew I was going to need to eat more eggs, making poached eggs easy was a must.
Having a large and healthy breakfast is a challenging undertaking, especially if you want to be quick and not eat the same thing every day. I have come up with several ideas, one of which is this french toast recipe. It only takes a couple of minutes to make and provides all the Gabriel Method requirements – Protein, omega3 and live food.
