Somehow in the last week or so I missed National Wine Day (why only a day?!) and National Margarita Day. Well, I did make myself a margarita but I neglected to post a recipe for 5:00 Fridays (though the one I did post was mighty tasty). I was hell bent on celebrating Margarita's … [Read more...] about Meyer Lemon Margarita – 5:00 Fridays TM

Meyer Lemme-Have-Some-More Aid – 5:00 Fridays
I was at Trader Joe's last night. The cashier, who was ever so friendly, asked me what I was going to do with all the Meyer lemons in my cart. "Why, make cocktails!" I exclaimed. I think we could totally be friends because she didn't bat an eye when I said that. I have several … [Read more...] about Meyer Lemme-Have-Some-More Aid – 5:00 Fridays

Luckily, this colleague is a … [Read more...] about Don’t Cupcake and Drive – 5:00 Fridays TM

Monday - 3 hour delay for school due to threat of freezing rain (Nothing happened, but we … [Read more...] about Menopausal Mother Nature – 5:00 Fridays TM
Just Snow – 5:00 Fridays TM
There's snow in the forecast, but all I hear right now is rain. There were some fluffy flakes before the boys went to bed, so at least they sparkled at the glimpse of (practically) ne'er seen snow. They went to bed in fits of giggles and wide-eyed wonder and kept popping out from … [Read more...] about Just Snow – 5:00 Fridays TM
Edith’s Fizz – 5:00 Fridays
A couple days from now (January 12, if you're a stickler for precision) marks the date on which the very first episode of All the Family aired in 1971. I remember watching that show when I was a kid. This was before the days of helicopter parental supervision apparently. I'm not … [Read more...] about Edith’s Fizz – 5:00 Fridays
