Baked Spaghetti Squash

Slowly things are turning into a routine.  I’m still in a huge mess (I’ll show you my office after the squash.)  This house is ginormous, no disputing that, but I’m lacking shelves, cabinets, organizing stuff etc.  So things are just sitting on the floors and hanging out in places.  The blessing is there’s still plenty [...]

Do You Black Friday?

 I’ve been one of those folks who gets up at 3am to stand in line for the really great deals. But year after year I was frustrated by the rude “adults” who act like 3 year olds, pushing, and shoving and stealing things out of people’s carts when they aren’t looking. And often the thing [...]
