My Mom Got a Herbie Tattoo Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Parents

For several years now my mom's been saying she wanted to get a tattoo -- a hummingbird -- because she liked them so much. BUT every time she was visiting me, and I'd find a tattoo shop for her to get it done at (because she insisted I had to be there), she would chicken out.

Minimalist Monday: No Regrets, part 2 Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Minimalist

This Week's Q&A (Talking Diabetes, Pineapples & More!) Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: FAQ

You've got questions, I've got answers!

1. I was looking at the Pineapple Sponge Cake recipes on Pg. 256 in EHH, and was wondering why you call for canned pineapple rings instead of canned crushed pineapple when you end up crushing them anyway?
