You know, I’m sick, so I’m already on threadbare nerves. Little tiny things that normally wouldn’t bother me seem so much more irritating through a haze of headaches and a volley of vomit. Then there are the things that always annoy me, making these largely annoying things into massively annoying things. The latest: onions. Mind you, I don’t like onions, not even a little.

Well, yesterday not long after posting, I was digging around in my purse for some gum to get rid of the taste of vomit in my mouth left over from puking up the potato soup.

I’ll admit that I screwed up on it already though because I forgot to heat the olive oil before adding the minced garlic (minced fresh Continue reading →

Well, I’m making a vague attempt at making Thanksgiving dressing to take to the in-laws’ for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I remember making this stuff before with Grandma Nolan years and years ago, but it’s not like I remember the measurements or cooking temperature or even necessarily all of the ingredients. So I called Mom who said Aunt Kathleen has the recipe, but Continue reading →
