Happy Birthday Joe!
This photo of Joe’s head was one I shot when we were first dating, I used it on the first birthday card I made for him. The following year, I used it again and after that, it became tradition.
Happy birthday to my kitty loving, better half!
Turkey Pot Pie
I’m always looking for new ways to use up the leftover turkey from our holiday meal. I’ve made crepes, tetrazzini, and large vats of soup – but a pot pie felt like the ticket since I had an excess of vegetables in the fridge and wanted to add a new post-Thanksgiving dish to my bag of tricks! This would also work well with leftover chicken, or as a vegetarian option, substitute a vegetable stock for the chicken, and beans instead of turkey. Continue reading

Christmas Tree Ornament Hangers
We put our tree up on Saturday, and while rooting through ornament boxes, I came across this vintage ornament hanger box. It was produced by Criterion Bell & Specialty Company established in 1937 in Brooklyn, NY. The graphics are marvelous!

Go-Kart or Speed-Bike?
So you scraped together the two bucks and waited patiently for the instructions to arrive in the mail while you pictured yourself buzzing the town on your boss GO-KART or sweet SPEED-BIKE! Wouldn’t it be great?! Imagine all of the kids choking on your exhaust while they were trying to keep up on their pathetic bicycles! You would be the coolest kid in town! The SECRET was inside a $2 pamphlet!
Now you have to figure out a way to explain to Dad why you have to destroy the lawn mower and your bike you got last Christmas IN ORDER to build a GO-KART or SPEED-BIKE. The pamphlet did not contain that secret.
