It’s going to be a Very Veggie weekend. Just look at this stuff! How fabulously obscene is that eggplant? When I pulled it out of the box from my CSA veggie share, I laughed loudly enough to distract John from his very serious phone call and make him smile. No joke even needed what with…

Queen of Tarts! That’s me, baby, I love a good tart. Takes one to know one, I guess, ha. Why am I inside baking on a gorgeous, sunny day? I don’t know…felt like it, I guess. And I wanted to make a dent in the abundance of produce piling up around here! So I’ve baked…

My minxes – who I’m sorry to say did not win the FM 107 Undiscovered Divas contest, booooooo (what are you gonna do, throw me out of the game like an over-zealous umpire? I think not! BOOOOOOOO!!!) – and their minxettes are coming to swim this afternoon. It’s another beautiful, sunny day (just like it…

Today was a Nathan-Mom Day, we have a dedicated one every once in awhile, something different and more special than our usual. Soooo fun. While it rained all day, we finished cleaning up from last night’s party, then watched part of a Justice League marathon, planned a dinner to cook together for John, shopped at…

No game tonight! Supposedly the temp reading, on the field, late afternoon, was 117 degrees in the sun…that’s insane! So the game was cancelled, due to dangerous heat. Indeed. Not to mention the humidity. Man, I could have almost slow-cooked a pork shoulder at that temp, mmm hmmm… But no, instead, we had our baseball…

The Laukka-Rempfer Floridians prevailed today, thanks to smokin’ hot pitching by Nick and sweaty, dusty catching by Owen. We are now guaranteed at least second place, which is the best we’ve ever fared in AAA or Minors Little League play – very exciting! The fans so lucked out with cloud cover and a nice breeze,…

None, some, or all of those lovely options? Then VOTE online for Kim & Susie to be the next Discovered Divas in FM…

YUM! Undiscovered Diva Suz and I had lunch at YUM Bakery today, what a treat! I ran into two former Park Nicollet girlfriends as well, Sonya and Laura, having some yum of their own. Suz loved her grilled veggie foccacia sandwich, I had a yummy (!) warm chicken club with a real summer treat –…

Undiscovered Divas, Kim and Suz, debuted at 6 p.m. on FM 107 tonight! I’m kicking myself for not posting earlier, before they were on, but this day got completely away from me. I myself only got to catch about the first five minutes – Nathan had a baseball game tonight, and Dad, Stacey, Bowen, Cooper,…
