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.

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

Image
Synopsis: Hoping to fend off an attempt to remove him as president of the California & Texas Global Development & Exploration Company, Jerry Conway agrees to meet a mysterious caller offering him valuable information. When he arrives at the motel room, however, he is met by a half-naked woman holding a gun. He disarms her and leaves but quickly discovers the gun has recently been fired and, realizing he is being set up, calls Perry Mason . When a murdered woman is later found in that same room, Mason predictably needs to defend his new client from murder charges. Review: My wife has been working on a sewing project for the past couple of evenings, giving me plenty of time to read while waiting for her to join me in the living room. As a result, I was able to get through this murder mystery fairly quickly. It ended up being a decent choice. When I first started reading this book, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it all that much. This is mostly because the murder mystery, at

Movie Review: Road Trip Romance (2022)

Image
Synopsis : A vintage toy company owner, Megan Miller, wouldn't miss her younger sister's wedding for anything. However, an airline strike has left her stranded in Denver and she finds herself driving to Wichita, Kansas with her bitter rival from high school, Alden Brown. As a series of misfortunes threaten to keep her from reaching her sister's wedding, she begins to realize Alden isn't as bad as she first thought. Who's in it? The movie stars Natalie Hall , Corey Sevier , Julia Borsellino , Elana Dunkelman and Wendy German. Review : I added this Hallmark movie to our library a few days ago, figuring it would be something my wife would enjoy watching. Even though it wasn't my first choice yesterday evening, I put the movie on at her request. As it turns out, it was better than I was expecting it to be. I'm not going to lie, this movie is about as predictable as you would expect it to be, to the point I probably written the script myself. This includes the l
