In an effort to encourage my family to eat more fruits, I sometimes resort to making them a big fruit platter, like this one below. I was hoping that it would entice them to snack off that fruit platter, instead of reaching into the cookie jar. It seems like a good idea, doesn't it? I myself can easily polish off half of that platter. How can you resist a platter of fresh fruits?! But unfortunately, my plan does not always work. Maybe if I had hidden other snacks in the house, or hollowed ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #340
Dinner is served. That may look like breakfast to most of you, but seriously, that was our dinner last night. Why? Because sometimes the best thing for dinner is breakfast. You know what I mean?

Fiesta Friday #337
Internet is finally back up at Casa Angie, albeit temporarily, and sanity is restored. It took many days of calling and complaining before our house was equipped with a temporary cable line. The husband is unhappy about the service. Now there’s a visible above-ground cable line that starts from one end of the neighbor’s lawn to ours. Yay, that’s just great! ← In case you mistook my meaning, that’s sarcasm, by the way. The husband can’t even mow the lawn! The last technician they sent ... continue reading...
