24 big banana boxes. That’s how much a Toyota Highlander with the seats up can hold. Visibility is nil, there is a faint produce smell present and not an inch left to put anything else. Thankfully I put my handbag in the car before the boxes. And forget stopping at Starbucks for a latte. I… Continue reading 1 Banana, 2 Banana, 3 Banana, 4…

Look to the Side

November 12, 2012November 13, 2012 dailyfrosting3 Comments

Sweet Potatoes. Yams. I’m still hazy on the differences. All I know, and what counts the most, is that my kids both love them and they happen to be the most nutritious vegetable on the planet. Super score on that one. That’s the gods way of saying “We know you deal with clothes battles and… Continue reading Look to the Side

In the past two weeks, we have had Halloween, a Hurricane (more frightful), power outages, gas shortages, there were trees toppled, roads and homes flooded, no school, delays and early dismissals, a Presidential election and…a snowstorm. I’m pooped. But it’s the weekend…storms and elections have blown over and things can start to return to normal.… Continue reading Calm Friday

The Obvious Answer

November 6, 2012 dailyfrosting2 Comments

Yesterday, I was running through a whole assortment of post ideas for today. Do I launch into Thanksgiving? Lord knows that the retail world is already at Christmas. I saw Santa at the mall today. I kid you not. A friend of mine did mention recently that I haven’t posted many recipes lately. Maybe that?… Continue reading The Obvious Answer

Good Riddance

I did not intend to take five days off from my daily posts, but Mama Nature had other plans. She stripped my home, my neighbors and our area at large of their power. Kaput. Hello, Sandy.
