This will be an ongoing list of books I’ve read starting in 2010. I’ll post reviews as I finish each book going forward. Feel free to post recommendations for books–I’ll comment back if I’ve already read your suggestion, and I’ll consider all suggestions! 2010 (Goal: 30 books) 101 Ways to Have a Great Day at [...]
We (Eric) use our coffee grinder most days for coffee. Today I needed to use it for its first non-coffee use: grinding flax seeds. I read this week that they release far more nutrition if you use them ground, rather than whole. To clean the coffee grinder, here’s how. 1. Wipe down all removable parts [...]
Eric is playing golf this afternoon, so before he left, I wanted him to carve the chicken we’re having for dinner (uh, since carving comes after putting a whole chicken in a pan and rubbing it with spices before it bakes, and I wanted to have dinner ready for him when he got home from [...]

Today, I decided to bake some chicken to keep on hand for meals and snacks this weekend. In a baking dish, I combined: 3 (still frozen) boneless/skinless chicken breasts I splashed them with a little bit of EVOO (about 2T, I’d guess), and sprinkled them with: Salt (coarse sea salt) Pepper (freshly ground) Garlic powder [...]
