Strange Food
I tried a strange recipe last weekend. It was a rice pudding that contained eggs and pineapple juice in place of milk, and black rice instead of white. The finished product was a deep shade of purplish blue and it … Continue reading

Bad Cat, Bad Cat
Mojo ate my blueberry muffin. On a day of leaky house plumbing, leaky diapers, and the final judgment that my son isn’t gaining enough weight, Mojo’s naughtiness was especially hard to take. All I wanted was a snack. Was that … Continue reading
Until Next Year
My mom usually gets me a big basket of Easter candy, but not this year. She knew I was pregnant and that babies don’t need a lot of chocolate. She did get me a bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs, though. … Continue reading
