Made Our First Garden-Fresh Salad of the Season

I had to use store-bought cherry tomatoes (mine aren't ripe just yet) but I was able to make a nice salad with lettuce, onions and green beans out of my garden today. And that sure did hit the spot. You never realize the difference between garden-fresh and store-bought until you've picked and used your own vegetables. Now I can't wait until the rest of the stuff is ready, especially the tomatoes.

Movie Review: Doctor Sleep (2019)

Image
Synopsis: Years after his father went insane at the haunted Overlook Hotel, an adult Danny Torrance is an alcoholic who has been forced to use his psychic abilities to defend himself against the starving ghosts that are still pursuing him. When he begins communicating telepathically with 13-year-old Abra Stone, he realizes she is in danger from a group of psychic vampires that feed on people like them. Who's in it? The movie stars Ewan McGregor , Rebecca Ferguson , Kyliegh Curran , Cliff Curtis and Emily Alyn Lind . Review: As I've said before, I'm not normally a big fan of movies based off of Stephen King books and usually don't go out of my way to watch them. However, my oldest daughter wanted to see this film and I added it to my Netflix DVD list as a result. We finally watched it this weekend and, unfortunately, it wound up being exactly what I thought it would be. The reality is, not all Stephen King books work as movies. There was some potential with this one,

When Adrian kills himself and leaves her a $5 million apology, Cecilia finally begins to feel free. However, a series of strange occurrences make her believe Adrian is still alive, invisible, and tormenting her. Who's in it? The movie stars Elisabeth Moss , Aldis Hodge , Storm Reid , Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Michael Dorman . Review: I had some serious doubts about this film when I first saw previews for it, but my wife was interested in seeing it, so I ended up adding it to our Netflix DVD queue. After watching it last night, I quickly realized my doubts were confirmed. I will start out by saying Elisabeth Moss put on an excellent performance in this movie. Her portrayal of Cecilia as a woman who was trying to regain her life after an abusive relationship was very believable. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie just doesn

Review of Paws Happy Life Cat Food

Image
We have two cats in our house and they seem to go through a ton of cat food, to the point I feel like I'm constantly having to buy more. Adding to this is the fact my cats are apparently very picky about the food they eat and, even though they will occasionally eat Friskies canned food (my preference because it is cheaper and comes in bigger cans), they aren't overly thrilled with it and, instead, seem to have a preference for Fancy Feast (which is, of course, more expensive and comes in smaller cans). Having been a cat parent long enough to know the whole "let them go hungry until they eat it" trick doesn't work, at least if I don't want my cats keeping me up all night or getting on the counters/in the garbage, I have mostly just given up and purchased the more expensive cans of food for them. However, when I was at the grocery store last night (once again, for the sole purpose of buying cat food), I noticed the store added this brand to the shelf. Thi
