Baseball Moms, woo hoo! We took the summer off because, well, we were all busy with baseball! But now baseball is (thankfully) done…so it was time to get together at local hangout McCoy’s and have some beer with our chat, on a chair instead of bleachers (ouch but those bleachers hurt the bum). First Monday…

Lookin’ pretty smart, huh, huh? Well I feel smart in my new purple (!) glasses. In fact, I bet you’ll notice the quality of my writing improving dramatically now that I’ve got them. Stay tuned for the fabulousness…And for grilled pork tenderloin, marinated with basil and garlic (per yesterday’s almost-pesto) and topped with lots of…

It’s going to be a Very Veggie weekend. Just look at this stuff! How fabulously obscene is that eggplant? When I pulled it out of the box from my CSA veggie share, I laughed loudly enough to distract John from his very serious phone call and make him smile. No joke even needed what with…

Queen of Tarts! That’s me, baby, I love a good tart. Takes one to know one, I guess, ha. Why am I inside baking on a gorgeous, sunny day? I don’t know…felt like it, I guess. And I wanted to make a dent in the abundance of produce piling up around here! So I’ve baked…

My minxes – who I’m sorry to say did not win the FM 107 Undiscovered Divas contest, booooooo (what are you gonna do, throw me out of the game like an over-zealous umpire? I think not! BOOOOOOOO!!!) – and their minxettes are coming to swim this afternoon. It’s another beautiful, sunny day (just like it…

Today was a Nathan-Mom Day, we have a dedicated one every once in awhile, something different and more special than our usual. Soooo fun. While it rained all day, we finished cleaning up from last night’s party, then watched part of a Justice League marathon, planned a dinner to cook together for John, shopped at…

No game tonight! Supposedly the temp reading, on the field, late afternoon, was 117 degrees in the sun…that’s insane! So the game was cancelled, due to dangerous heat. Indeed. Not to mention the humidity. Man, I could have almost slow-cooked a pork shoulder at that temp, mmm hmmm… But no, instead, we had our baseball…

The Laukka-Rempfer Floridians prevailed today, thanks to smokin’ hot pitching by Nick and sweaty, dusty catching by Owen. We are now guaranteed at least second place, which is the best we’ve ever fared in AAA or Minors Little League play – very exciting! The fans so lucked out with cloud cover and a nice breeze,…
