He’s a scamp
A few weeks ago, I was asked to take part in “The Big Read,” which is going on, right now, all around the state. They wanted me show up at the JSU Houston Cole Library on March 22 and talk a little about the “world of Tom Sawyer”— the book everyone was reading.

It’s like a case of mental hiccups. That thing that sticks in your brain, like those jingles in the Free Credit Report commercials (“Free Credit Report dot com/Tell your friends, tell your dad, tell you mom/Never mind, they’ve been singing our songs since we first showed up with our pirate hats on”), and it won’t go away.

It is Thursday morning, and I have to clean the boy’s room before the cleaning lady gets here. I realize this makes no sense to some people, but the rest of you understand.

When a friend moved out of state last year, she asked me if I wanted her dining room table. Well, I didn’t need a dining room table (this one was a little small for my growing family, anyway), but I can’t say no to something free. Also, I had an idea on how to transform that table into something more useful for me — a pair of half-table consoles.

Great news for those girls — this is one “must-attend” event: the annual Mother/Daughter Panhellenic Tea, slated for Sunday, March 7, at 2 p.m. at the Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County.

In a lot of kitchens, the idea of eating healthy is still associated with the maxim of “fat-free equals flavor-free.” While there is some truth to that saying, there’s also something to be said for balance in all things.

Those old boxes of clipped and hand-written recipes can sometimes hold treasures. One of my favorite pastimes is looking through boxes of recipes that I have been planning to file away for years.

After the release of the movie Sideways in 2005, a minor merlot rebellion occurred. Miles, a main character in the movie and a pinot snob, made disparaging remarks about merlot and those who drink it, causing merlot sales to decline and pinot noir sales to increase.
