I don’t know about you, but getting enough liquid in my child during the hot, hot, hot summer days can be a challenge. I have tried many tricks, but this one works the best. I make homemade jumbo popsicles with a variety of juices and other drinks.

At home we have a nifty popsicle maker thingy, but we are on vacation this week and I had to improvise.

What I discovered, is she likes the jumbo ones more than the little ones I make at home. I like it because she gets more hydration each time and my favorite part is that I used handy kitchen items everyone has on hand (no fancy gizzmos or special clean-up and storage).

Pursue good stuff this summer…

Tonight’s Dinner

It is cold in Kansas City. It is hump day. My daughter starts another four day weekend tomorrow because of conferences. I have walked to the fridge 10+ times thinking I will be inspired. Truth be told, this is what I am craving.

You can find Ed’s Lobster Bar in New York City here. Sadly, there isn’t a subway from midtown Kansas City that will take me there. But I will be there again in May.

Now, what should we have for dinner tonight?

Brunch-Blocked

I enjoy language. Word play is fun. So, when I recently read the term “brunch-block” in an email, I cracked up.

I enjoy language. Word play is fun. So, when I recently read the term “brunch-block” in an email, I cracked up. The sender was being literal. She was proposing to plan a brunch for a good friend and she discovered that a brunch was already being planned. She then stated that she hadn’t meant to “brunch-block” the host.

I am stealing this term. I will be using it. And, every time I do, it will make me happy.

PS…Since we are talking about brunch, I thought I would share one of my favorite brunch spots.

Fish Tacos

I am craving fish tacos. And, for the life of me I have never found a good recipe to make them at home. I need your help. If you have a great recipe or tips for homemade fish tacos I need it.

Because, the dishware we are putting out at the store is making my tummy growl.
