    We bought foam containers at Smart and Final or Cash and Carry. Each held a stack of about a dozen cookies. We then used shrink wrap and a ribbon from the Dollar Store to seal in the cookies and give them a bit of color.

    I am amazed at people who sit in the ED waiting room for hours with some complaint that would not seem to justify the inconvenience. Sometimes, they honestly do not know whether or not their condition is serious but other times, I get the feeling patients stick around just because they are not quitters. They…

    As I have said before, most of the straps come with the ends sewn back on themselves. If you have been looking at my bags at all you will have noticed that I  have used these tabs as style elements. Here is a new idea I came up with to do just that. These pictures…

    I am always looking for interesting ingredients. This clearly caught my attention. I have to say, I am very skeptical that a teaspoon of beer will make any difference but I didn’t try them without. This recipe has more chocolate chips and cooks for less time than the original.

    Skinnier Than Most Prisoners Police cars need to have a way to be able to roll down the back windows of their squad cars to provide ventilation while preventing any suspect from escaping through the open window. In our fair city, they address this need by placing a metal plate horizontally across the rear window.…

    My wife and I have had a long-running joke about licorice. Following my dad’s good example, I grew up eating and enjoying black licorice. My wife, on the other hand, just can’t imagine how it could be considered edible. When my good friend, Debbie, sent me this recipe, she cautioned you had to be a…

    During the election, I thought about trying to do Michelle Obama’s and Ann Romney’s favorite cookie recipes. The problem was that the Romney recipe was a peanut butter cookie with M&Ms in them. Ho hum. These are not really amazing but they are unusual in that they have mint. I was unable to find mint…
