Kraut-salad and potato dumplings ... mmm ... both are throwbacks to the big Sunday dinners my dad's mom used to make. Potato dumplings are just divine - balls of shredded potato and flour, boiled and covered with gravy. And kraut-salad. My mouth i...
I'd childproof the pantry :)

21 deaths. Nearly 10,000 reported adverse reactions. There is no way my kids are getting this vacci...
I actually scored my job through Linked In, simply by updating my status and profile to describe the position I was looking for; I connected to my current boss at, ironically, a class on using LinkedIn :) He was looking for an employee and when he...
Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?
