Pho: Worth the Hassle
October 22, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Of course my order was wrong. “Small number one without onions or cilantro” I’ve been ordering the same item dozens of times over the past six years. I don’t get creative with the menu. I find something that works and I stick with it. Small. Number one. No onions or cilantro. So I sit at [...]
The Two Sides Of My Closet

Last Friday, the alarm on my iPhone went off just before 6 am. I stumbled out of bed, put on gym shorts and laced up my Hyperdunks. In less than ten minutes I was heading to the gym with my neighbor to play basketball. For the next 90 minutes I ran up and down the [...]

But our children are still young and don’t understand big words like reverence so we revert to using [...]

Along the path to adulthood I knew I was making progress when I gave up certain habits. Like the day Pop Rocks and Fun Dip stopped being a part of my regular diet. Or the first winter I went without tossing snowballs at the school bus. You know, signs along the path of life that [...]
Making Pumpkin Cream Pies
November 27, 2008 by 5 Comments
My mom has been making this recipe for pumpkin cream pies for as long as I can remember. It’s been handed down for several generations. It’s the only pumpkin pie I’ll eat. We only make them at Thanksgiving, primarily due to the time they take to prepare. The filling must be stirred over heat for [...]
