Life Lesson #462

No, you cannot put wax paper in the oven. (Even though the recipe calls for "parchment paper"—what the hell is parchment paper—why is it different than wax paper, and why is it okay to put any paper in the oven?) 

But, more importantly, do not panic when you open the oven door, allowing the smoke to billow out, and pick up the tray with your bare hand.

Afternoon with Aggie

As per usual when leaving the house without my camera, I regretted it. So, I had to settle for iPhone pictures. What I thought would be a couple of hours hanging with Grams turned into a full afternoon of family time. Grams is a trooper, as always. Most of us could only hope to have a fraction of the strength this woman does. Fractured ribs, a fractured spine, quite a few lumps on the head, and she still had the sense of humor to make fun of the food.
After a hurricane and a snowstorm, it ended up being a nice 60 degree day today. 

I tried all of the food she was served. It was terrible I don't blame her for sticking with the coffee.
