Here’s an update on my experimentation with the Deceptively Delicious recipes. I’ve prepared some more deceptive cuisine since I last posted on this topic. In addition to what I described here, I’ve now also made Jessica’s quesadillas, chocolate chip cookies, and meatball soup.
Quesadillas: Nice, basic, quick meal. The idea here was that you mixed some [...]

I’m feeling the need for some blog chatter, so I’m conducting a little poll. Over the weekend I attended Debbycita’s wedding, and got to thinking about must-have wedding reception dance tunes. You know, the songs that separate a so-so wedding dance from a GREAT wedding dance.

It’s January 25th, which means it’s my little boy’s 9-month birthday. I don’t know why, but 9 months feels like a really big milestone to me. Maybe it’s because he’s now been alive for as long as I carried him inside me; or maybe it’s because before I even considered having kids, if I would [...]

I explained in my very first post on FatJ.wordpress that even though I am the author of this fabulous blog, I haven’t been known to do much reading of other people’s blogs. I don’t have any friends who maintain blogs (that I know of!! If you do- tell me!), and I don’t do a [...]

Could this be the beginning of a baby mullet?

I have the itch. The urge. The fever. The bug. To go somewhere. To travel. To take a vacation.
You see, it’s going on a year since I’ve taken a trip. And now it’s the dead of winter in Minnesota. Everywhere I look, someone I know has just returned from or is about to leave for [...]

Feeding himself some yogurt…
He totally appears like he’s up to something here. I believe he’s thinking, “see mom! I TOLD you I could feed myself!”
