I'm not completely certain what all of the sauces are for, but I figure I'll open 'em up and give a taste and pick foods that might work well with them. I love going there, I really do. My husband and I had more Chr...

Poor Milo. He was such a good sport about this year's Christmas picture. Every couple of years I unwisely decide that I have time to make my own Christmas cards. I bring out the stamper and ink, buy the cardstock, and figure out what Milo gets to wear (ususally it's some silly headband with candy canes or something... but not this year).

UPDATE: 5:11pm. My story has been held until tomorrow (Friday) and if this weather system keeps hammering us like it has been then it will probably be Monday before it makes air. That'...

Okay.. marathon and heart problems. Who knew? Well, we don't know anything yet. The study was really more suggestive and since it was small there is still a long way to go. And, Dr. Kuehl raised an interesting question: is it that running marathons potentially does something to the heart.. or that the type of person attracted to running may also have heart issues?

Advertising Tricks!

This is one of those websites that is fun for kids, parents and non-parents (like me). It's a PBS website designed to teach kids about the tricks of the advertising trade.

Click on "advertising tricks" and you'll never look at that hamburger or roasted chicken the same again.
