Ugliest Animals on Earth
We've had our share of animals around here--hamsters and parakeets, frogs and fish, but these guys are pets for people who want to be just a little different than your average animal lover. To be honest, these are the animals that make a pretty good case for natural selection. 1. sphynx cat ...

How Not to Make Yogurt (or) So Easy a Monkey Could Do It
I should entitle this post "I Am a Doofus" because when you read this you'll agree that's what I am. Long ago my mother had a yogurt maker and occasionally made a batch and I thought it would be a great thing to try for myself. I started with this Make Yogurt in a Crockpot recipe which not ...

A View from the Kitchen
Funny how things can change so quickly. It used to be green and now it's white. I forget what it looks like covered in snow and then once it snows I forget what it looks like when it was green. We're dusting off our skis for the weekend. *** Congratulations to Keriane from Anchorage, Alaska ...

No Child Left Behind. Because They ALL Need to Be Watching Television at School.
scribbit.blogspot.com — My daughter came home from high school on Friday. "How was your day?" I asked. "Fine. We had another substitute so we didn't do anything." "What do you mean?" "Whenever we have a substitute we usually don't do anything, we just watch movies. This time ... (more) No Child Left Behind. Because They ALL Need to Be ...
Apple Brie Bread with Almonds
Colder weather here means more baking and I've been baking like crazy lately. This is a good recipe for breakfast, a nice blend of sweet and savory that is lovely with a cold glass of milk or juice--and boy does it smell nice when it's baking. For dough: 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1/3 cup butter 1/3 ...

Veggie Tales and Campbell's Soup Giveaway

The Ultimate Geography Question
It's been a long week and I'm to the point where I can hardly speak coherently let alone write in complete sentences--this starting up a business thing feels like its kicking us around pretty thoroughly. I told Andrew I'd truly be manic depressive if only I had more time for it. . . . So I'm ...

Chinese Yo Yos
I don't know if you've noticed, but yo yos are really hip right now. I don't suppose you would notice unless you happen to be hanging out at the local high school or have a high schooler living in your midst. But take my word for it, it's become completely acceptable to bring yo yos to high ...

A Winter Mountain Tour of Anchorage
Snow! It's finally snowed! December 8th--which makes our snow contest winner Cindy. I had to go up on the hillside on Saturday and I snapped some pictures just for you--those these were taken on Saturday before our house saw any accumulation. This is a picture of Cook Inlet from the ...
