Necessity is the mother of invention, the saying goes. And so when my husband wished for a Christmas morning quiche like his mother used to bake, I took it to heart. Then I took it to the kitchen. We had tons of left-over mashed potato from our ham the previous night, and so I whipped [...]

An Adoption Story: When Reunification Works
Posted in Adoption, tagged adult adoptee, birthmother, LDS adoption, Mrs. R., reunion on December 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today I was deeply moved by Amanda’s story over at Mrs. R’s House. When she was talking with her dad (an adoption attourney) about finding her birthmother, he recommended that she wait until after she was married, rather than proceeding immediately upon turning 18. According to her dad, many adoptions that take place in [...]

Today I’d like you to visit “Over Here in the Bonny Glenn” and read about a sick young man with a large (though ailing) heart. I’m telling you, if I’d been that radio producer, Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce would have beaten Paul Newman, hands down!

The recipe was given to me by my friend Kimberly, who died as a missionary in China, in an automobile accident. She left behind several children, and a husband [...]
Soft Hearts, Open Hands

It was the most remarkable Christmas miracle that transpired the other day in the Parent Room. Before my very eyes, a stand-off that had begun over an unfortunate misunderstanding, suddenly righted itself. Without preamble, a former political adversary suddenly and inexplicably proffered an olive branch. And I snapped it up before she could change her mind. Now, [...]
Wee Cook Wednesday: Simple Soup

The other day I came across this recipe for a lovely Simple Soup at Anna’s “Domestic Felicity.” Perfect for a cold winter’s day, especially if you’re looking at the checkbook and realizing that “Santa” has blown the budget. Bon Appetit!
