In case you’re ever on Jeopardy someday, about to win the jackpot, and your final question is “What did Janna have for a snack before bedtime on December 5th, 2008?”…. The answer is diced watermelon, eaten out of a cheap plastic container with a cheap plastic fork at 9:24pm. Be sure to phrase it in [...]
Hey there! I’ve spent the last couple days house-sitting for my mom and dad while they took a mini-vacation. (I still don’t know where they went. I’ll find out on Monday, I guess.) While I was there, I made a giant pot of chili for myself. When I say “giant”, I mean there was at [...]
Sunday was the first day so far this season that I’ve actually seen snow accumulating on the ground. So now, as far as I’m concerned, it is now officially winter. (Forget all that nonsense about the Winter Equinox starting on December 21.) So this means it is now time to start making hot chocolate and [...]
If I had a lot more money and a lot more patience, it would be fun to open my own restaurant. Sometimes, just for the fun of it, I like to draw up floor plans for a place, and make up my own unique menu. I wonder what my restaurant would be called? I’d like [...]
Some of you know that I’ve been on a tea kick lately. And yeah, I’ve become one of those people that buys it by the gallon. I’ve tried all sorts of varieties. Southern Sweet tea, Green tea with lemon, Sweet tea with lemon, and this stuff that’s half lemonade and half tea. Faygo makes a [...]
My mom and I both like tomato juice. We both love to inundate it with freshly-cracked black pepper. LOTS of black pepper. Yum. She likes drinking hers with tabasco sauce. I, although fond of tabasco for other uses, generally don’t like it in tomato juice. I much prefer to have my tabasco sauce on fish [...]
I used to love that “Magic Shell” ice cream topping. And… I suppose I still do. But I’ve been repulsed by it, ever since I learned that it has WAX in it. That’s the “secret ingredient” that makes it harden when you pour it on cold stuff like ice cream. Wax. All this time I’ve [...]
It’s two in the morning and I am craving peanut butter cookies. I MUST have peanut butter cookies. Must. Have. Yet the only place open this late at night which would actually HAVE them is either Meijer or WalMart. Both are about a 20-25 minute drive. Sigh. Hopefully if I can get some sleep, I’ll [...]
I found a website that sells hot sauce. That, in itself, isn’t unusual, but I love the name they chose for themselves. It’s called “Taste The Pain.” LOL! Here it is: http://www.tastethepain.com/ .
Since I love hot spicy things, (the hotter the better), some people have opined that this should be my theme song. I drew this awhile back and couldn’t resist posting it for today. Notice the stylish sunglasses and playful music notes. And my huge cavernous mouth. Can’t miss that. The actual “ring of fire” is [...]
