Daddy's Rules for Dating
Daddy's Rules for Dating
…10 simple rules for dating my daughter
Rule #1
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a
package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
Rule #2
Do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so
long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot
keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
Rule #3
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to
wear their trousers so lo...

Pate
Captain's Log, Stardate 11.11.2009
I discovered pate sometime after college. I never ate much (if any) French food growing up, and never even heard of pate except that I read about it in a novel. I think it was one by Betty Neels.
Anyway, I saw some at the store. You might know what I'm talking about—a nice slice of a pate loaf, all pinky with speckles, in shrink wrap, in the deli section along with all the fresh cheese assortments.
My first taste was absolute heaven. OMG that stuff is like crac...

Grape lip balm
Captain's Log, Stardate 11.10.2009
I'm continuing my Etsy.com raving today with another product I bought, grape lip balm from Pacific Paradise Soap.
For one, this stuff tastes yummy!
For another, look at this ingredient list:
Grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, concentrated Vitamin E, grape flavoring, Stevia.
I can pronounce everything on that list! I know what most of it is!
I'm pretty picky about my lip balms because I have a violent a...

Excerpt - Fit to Be Tied by Robin Lee Hatcher
Fit to Be Tiedby
Robin Lee Hatcher
Who says a woman can't do a man's job?
Cleo Arlington dresses like a cowboy, is fearless and fun-loving, and can ride, rope, and wrangle a horse as well as any man. In 1916, however, those talents aren't what most young women aspire to. But Cleo isn't most women. Twenty-nine years old and single, Cleo loves life on her father's Idaho ranch. Still, she hopes someday to marry and have children.
Enter Sherwood Statham, an English aristocrat whose father has sentenc...

Vosges Haut Chocolat Holiday Collection truffles
Captain's Log, Stardate 11.05.2009
Those of you on Twitter and Facebook saw me freaking out patiently waiting for my chocolate to arrive. Well, they came on Wednesday!
Isn't this pretty? I love pretty packaging.
You can order the chocolates here if you can't help yourself. Just to warn you, they're a bit pricey and contrary to how they look, each truffle is only a little bigger than a marble.
The flavors are very intense, however, so actually I don't think I'd have been happy with a larger piece...
