My two KitchenAid attachments are here*: the pasta roller and cutter, and the meat grinder. I can now make flat sheets for lasagna and ravioli as well as linguine and spaghetti.

Cleaning, prepping, errands and a run to KC to visit Costco and have dinner with friends filled our Saturday. Sunday saw me up at 6:30am to start the grill. I decided to give smoking meat on my gas grill a try. There were a couple of issues–the smoke box was useless for my set-up and [...]

A little later in her life time line, she developed a disgust for broccoli so strong that even putting some near her caused her to gag.

Ada and I headed out Saturday morning to market. I picked up our usual breakfast of bagels as well as picking [...]

Friday Afternoon Hookey I took work off just a tad bit early today. Okay, like 1.5 hours early today. However, I worked until 8:00pm last night, so I felt justified. The weather was beautiful. Mac had a meeting in KC, so I had to go pick up Ada. I asked her what she wanted to [...]
