From the Kitchen – port peppercorn sauce and a petit beef tenderloin filet

Although we’ve wandered a bit off of the South Beach diet lately, we are doing pretty well in keeping any new weight from being added back on.   It does help us to weigh ourselves every day, just to keep an eye on things.  We also got back some lab reports and everything is better, including cholesterol (your … Continue reading From the Kitchen – port peppercorn sauce and a petit beef tenderloin filet →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – insisting on apologies for telling the truth

There’s an op-ed by Christine Flowers, a conservative Catholic with a problem. She isn’t happy that her religion is presented in a less than favorable light by some emails that are supposedly from the Clinton campaign, released by Wikileaks.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “I’m shocked, shocked…..”

(addendum: unsurprisingly, we have some of those "shocked" people now insisting that Trump is perfectly fine now, including a number of pastors.  Thanks folks, nothing like showing the religious right is simply cowards and hypocrites) “I’m shocked, shocked that gambling is going on in here.” “Your winnings, sir.” Just finished watching CBS Sunday Morning, where … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “I’m shocked, shocked…..” →

What the Boss Likes – we got really cool upholstered chairs!

As the title says, we got really cool upholstered chairs.   Some background on this,  my husband's parents once did upholstery.  And when my mother in law was dying from colon cancer, she asked what we would like.  We got a pair of decrepit chairs that my husband loved because they were so comfortable, and a … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – we got really cool upholstered chairs! →

What the Boss Likes – a vigilant Amazon.com: always remember to change your passwords often

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a response to Dale re: prayer and free will

(10/20/2016 - I've had a lot of Christians follow recently and like this post, as well as other posts about how religion fails.  Not sure why this is, but I'm more than happy to see people approve and agree with my posts.)

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham,  the son of Billy Graham, famous American Christian evangelist, was in Harrisburg today.   It was part of his tour insisting that one needs to pray for America.  He didn't endorse a candidate, but it's not hard to know who he wants to win, mostly because he has said it himself despites the claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – beating back the theocrats again, Pennsylvania

Here, in my lovely home state of Pennsylvania, the PA House of Representatives has been sued by some residents for not allowing a secular e.g. non-theist based invocation before the body. The suit, brought by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, American Atheists, and members of various local groups here in PA, is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – beating back the theocrats again, Pennsylvania →
