When Mister and I conceived the idea for Drunk-Dial Think-Tank, it was with the intention of being creative on a regular basis. Go figure, it’s working. This past week, it ended up working beyond what we’ve been…
Monday, Monday
It’s Monday. I’m not complaining, as I’m down with Mondays. Really. And if we both managed to wake this morning and are enjoying the gift that is this new day, I’m super-down. But last night was Beer…
Perfect Sunday Supper – Chicken and Dumplings!
I first encountered this “Southern Living” recipe in November 2001. (Original recipe link is here.) I followed it to the letter, then decided to tweak it ever so slightly. Over the last 13 years, Mister and I have…

Hummingbird Lost
Mister and I were in the kitchen. It was a beautiful day, so the windows and doors were thrown open wide. In L.A., this is common. We don’t have screen doors at our house, so when the doors…
Oscar! Oscar!
Aw, yeah! It’s that time again – the Oscars! Tonight! My favorite awards show – period! If you’re not into the Oscars, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it, and don’t have to! I’m super excited to…
