The Joy of Cooking
If you're afraid of butter, use cream. ~ Julia Child Typically, the British Hubby and I share cooking responsibilities. Often times, he'll handle the protein portion while I make the veggies/side dish. Unfortunately, the British hubby's day job is keeping him far too busy the past week. This means I have KP (kitchen patrol) duty…Read more The Joy of Cooking
Conspiracy: Did Martians Come to Japan?
"Gravy for the brain, Jerry." ~ Conspiracy Theory Apparently, there is a growing movement that believes Japan was visited by Martians centuries ago. This riveting story explains in more details.

Life is adventure, not predicament. ~ James Broughton We're having a brief dry spell this weekend. Last week, we had almost three inches of rain.

Comparison is the death of joy. ~ Mark Twain It's the start of another calendar year. Traditionally, people like to set new year resolutions that are forgotten by the end of January.
