    Turkey Tuesday: Easy Peasy Baked Turkey Rigatoni

    February 28, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My head is spinning between the insanity of my full-time job right now (hello big convention in two weeks!) and my attempts to engage my LuLaRoe customers with sales of all my fabulous new spring inventory that is coming in (hello fun colors and florals!). Plus, sadly, I promised Teacher…

    My usual indiscriminate look back at the week.

    February 26, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Sunday night, friends! I’m watching all the skinny actresses at the Academy Awards – while I’m thoroughly enjoying a sub from Subway and a Dairy Queen caramel sundae. #SorryNotSorry Seriously, these actresses must be TINY in person. If they look ultra skinny on TV, I can’t even imagine seeing…

    Weekend Details

    February 18, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy weekend, friends! Saturday night around here has been pretty quiet … Teacher Man has a bad cold so he’s sleeping on the couch and Joe is working on some sort of Wii U game in the basement. As for me, I decided this would give me a few minutes…

    February 13, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So here is what I know about me. And also subsequently what you have learned about me – assuming you have been following my blog for any length of time. I love turkey. I love pasta. I love cheese. I love comfort food. That’s it. That’s me in a nutshell,…

    Sunday Catch-Up

    February 12, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It felt fabulous to be home the entire weekend with no schedule! It probably sounds a little crazy, but it was nice to get some laundry done, wash all the sheets off the beds, go grocery shopping, cook an actual meal for my family … all those things I haven’t…

    Lately

    February 9, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    (Full and total disclosure: Okay, so I wrote this on Sunday but didn’t have a chance to post it until I got back home. Today. Five days later. Sigh. Welcome to my world.) I’m writing this from a flight enroute to Orlando for the National Turkey Federation Annual Convention –…

    Joe Man is 13!

    January 27, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My little boy is a teenager! Oh be still this momma’s heart. How in the world did that happen? Of course I know how this happened. This is life. These are the years that fly by. And it is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. The clock continues…

    Overdue for some randomness!

    January 12, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m long overdue for some randomness, I think. If you regularly follow my blog then you know I just have to throw an occasional random post in with something like a hundred different thoughts that are completely unrelated. I’m like that.  I like random. 1) I realized tonight, after a…
