Spring Clean by Eating the Freezer Leftovers

I’ve been strangely silent recently because we are preparing to move.  If you haven’t moved 7 people twice in 14 months, you’re not walking on the wild side.  Anyway, in preparation for moving, I am trying to clean out the freezers.  Yes, we have two.  The goal is to use something each day from the freezer.  Today, I used a pie crust, orange juice and what I thought was key lime juice  for a key lime pie.  Turns out the key lime juice was egg whites, so I made a rather bland custard pie.  I’m going to have to start labeling [ ... ]

Round Three (or Four) of Lessening Our Load

I made a resolution in January to lose stuff.  I made progress for a while, particularly when our house sold and we were forced to get rid of quite a bit of stuff, none of which I can recall now.  However, we still filled two large storage units.  One at our land and one in a temperature-controlled facility.  If you count the boxes of photos and the curio cabinet at my dad’s apartment, we actually have three storages. I’m not sure where all the stuff we got rid of actually lived.  How can we cut our living and storage space in half [ ... ]

Where’s the Justice?

I generally keep things pretty a-political here.  Not necessarily, politically correct, but somewhat non-controversial.  However, I’ve observed a few things in the news which makes me wonder about a few things.  Perhaps I’m the crazy one here, but where’s the justice today? I think it odd that people would demand equal representation in the media for someone who is shot in an altercation with a police officer vs. another police officer killed in the line of duty.  In this instance one has dedicated his life to service, first in the military, then in the police force.  He is shot point blank, without [ ... ]
