You call that a salad…

I went to a potluck in the south once and looked down at a concoction that I had not seen before. And the woman next to me said “oh that’s salad” and I said “it has Snickers in it” and she said “yes, it’s Snicker Apple Salad”. Oh well of course. I put Snickers in all of my salads…don’t you? I thought she was crazy until I ate it. Apples. Good. Snickers. Good. Whipped Cream. Good. Back in those days that’s all they put in the salad. I guess if Waldorf can be a salad and that Strawberry Pretzel thing…this can too. I have been craving apple pie like crazy lately. I’ve tried to ignore it almost breaking down and eating a Hostess apple pie when I got gas the other day (don’t judge) but I clearly needed to feed the apple pie beast within me. Since I tend to do things with a twist on here I decided to do a twist on the salad into tart form. And gotta say yum! Now it’s not apple pie-y apple pie but it’s good all the same. And hey…it’s salad. You can … [Read more...]

Ladies and Gentleman, Sexual Chocolate…

So I have a lot of teenage readers and I got a question through email that I originally was just going to write back to them directly and be done with it but I thought I would address it on the blog. It’s a super long email so I will just paraphrase the jest of it. Basically this girl’s parents don’t like talking about sex at all with her other than to just say don’t do it. She says that she really likes a boy and was trying to talk to her mom about it and got shot down. I just want to say to parents that if you teen is trusting you enough to come talk to you about sex be thankful. Regardless of your feelings on it, at least hear them out as open lines of communication are especially important during the teen years. When I taught 8th grade I can’t tell you how many kids would come to me with their real life problems because they didn’t feel they could talk to their parents about it. And parents please do not use the excuse of your kid is a good kid and therefore would … [Read more...]

Not a morning person…

When one gets up at 5:30am to clean and one is not a morning person, one does things like run a load of laundry…without the laundry. And before you get all impressed at what motivation I have to get up and clean, guess again. Procrastination led to panic of realizing I had until 11am to pull it together. Forget a cookbook, I need to write about book about procrastination…you know, when I get around to it. :P Also when you wake up that early without really getting much sleep the night before and you stop moving, you will wake up to your dog licking you while you have fallen asleep folding laundry on the ground. Such a good alarm clock dog though. Strange Addictions the show is beyond crazy. I watched per my friend’s insistence the episode where the guy is in love with his car. Not in an oh gee I love my car it is pretty kind of way. But in a tell people you are in a monogamous relationship with said car and have sexual relations with the car. Yes, that’s right, he bones … [Read more...]
