Novels
My interest in novels is both for reading and writing them. Reading, of course, is easier. Unleashing my creativity and imagination to write novels is still a challenge. What about you? Are you a reader, a writer, or both?

I have made this one, and I really enjoy it. Feel free to experiment with the types of cheese you use in the recipe. I’m going to send you to the source, because the commentary and pictures are worth the effort — you may find ideas in the comments below … Continue reading →
Photo: Macaroni and Cheese
I found these recipes on Pinterest, and I’ve always wanted a good mac and cheese recipe, because I love the stuff, but I don’t want to use a box mix. This is my first attempt, and I’m not very happy with it. It curdled on me. There are comments in … Continue reading →
Monkeys
You probably would never know it now, but when I was a kid (pre-ten), I was bonkers for monkeys. I was serious in my request to have one for a pet. Alas, I was to be perennially disappointed in that quest. My parents did the best they could though, and … Continue reading →
Cats: Lost?
It just seems that way. We’ve been troubled about Rossie’s reluctance to assimilate with us. She likes to be near us for a good part of the day, but she doesn’t like to be handled. From day-to-day, this is not a problem. We’re perfectly willing to respect her preference. It … Continue reading →

How often do you think about your keyboard? Most of the time, it just works, right? How many of you are using the default keyboard that came with your computer? How many are using an ergonomic or other type of keyboard? I’m using a DVORAK keyboard, because I thought I … Continue reading →
Klepto
I confess when I reviewed my subjects, I paused at this one. Whatever did I mean when I mapped out A-Z so many months ago? Then I remembered. Eons ago, when I left home to go to college, I took some things with me. Some of those things weren’t mine. … Continue reading →
Jump Balls
When I was entering 8th grade, my school system added girl’s basketball to the extra-curricular options. I lived in Iowa, and at that time, Iowa played 3-on-3 basketball for girls. Delicate girls couldn’t be expected to run up and down a full court, so we had three forwards and three … Continue reading →
Juicy BBQ Ribs
The beauty of recipes is they can be varied. My friend Tammy has some great recipes. The one we’re trying today is BBQ Ribs. (Tammy hasn’t added any new recipes in a while — maybe she’ll consider it.) I’ve made this numerous times with boneless pork ribs. Today, when I … Continue reading →
