Work that Muffin Tin

Who doesn't want a perfect egg?

Well here we are again for yet another Tips, Tricks and Treats Tuesday and once again we'll head to the kitchen for some tricky tips.

I'm so lame...I gather all these ideas and it takes me awhile to try them out (actually it's trying to remember to use them).  I have not tried out this method of cooking hard-boiled eggs but my daughter swears by it. It's pretty simple to do (always a plus for me) and I don't really foresee any major problems cooking them this way.  You just place your uncooked eggs in the wells of a muffin tin, place in a 325 degree oven (or 350 depending on if your oven runs cool) and cook for 30 minutes.  Carefullllllly take them out and carefulllllly place them in cold/ice water for about 10  

minutes and voila', they're done.  Next time I make hard-boiled eggs I promise I'll

Cartoons to ponder

Brief but to the point

Well wadda ya know?  It's Mesmerizing Medium Monday and today I'll serve up some Political Cartoons.  I love cartoons and I believe many out there do as well as evidenced by all the Prime Time "Toon Shows" out there in T.V. Land.  What an interesting way to put an important point into the public's mind.  Cartoons are eye-catching plus they're quick and easy to ingest so it makes perfect sense to use them to try and get your side of the story heard.  For instance, the political

Another Fun Friday

Oh no, it's Flashback Friday again and my mind is on the topic of Native Americans.  I happened  to find some vintage video clips of some songs in my wanderings and thought it'd be nice to pass 'em along.

First we have Cher doing her "Half- Breed" song from 1973.  She looks kind

Happy Thankseverything Day

Here we are back to Thoughtful/Thankful Thursday once again.  I was contemplating on what to write today and concluded I hadn't done a  "Thanks" post in awhile so here we go.  The quote to the left is key (I suppose that's why there's a key on the top!) to the door of contentment.  It really helps you along in life to have the attitude of gratefulness, especially for those little things that we may tend to overlook.  So 

Baby, it's you...sha la la la la la la

The Boys

I've dubbed this W/E Wednesday as another Beatles Day, so awayyy we gooo!  In case you don't know their names, (and it's hard for me to comprehend that some people don't know the Fab Boys' names, yet I've encountered such people), in the pic to the left starting at the top left and going clockwise we have John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr (a.k.a. Richard Starkey) and George Harrison.  I thought it'd be fun to go way back and check out some childhood

I've got this tick...

Not a particularly pleasant topic, but a helpful one

Okay, not the prettiest tips this Tips, Tricks and Treats Tuesday, but I believe anyone that likes to spend time getting back to nature in the warm weather should know the basics about those nasty, icky,disgusting ticks.  Now, I have never had a tick on me yet but the Hubs and I had a "scare" this past weekend (poor Hub thought he had one on him but it was a false alarm) so I thought I should prepare in the event of a real
