Women Who Eat Chocolate

I'm still alive -- still plugging away!  Work, kids, life has taken over so this blog suffers in the meantime.  Check out this link here . It's my latest blog at the Bargain Hunter on my love for the hand held book over the e-reader.  Chime in and give me your two cents on your preference.  We're going to Mexico.  Yes.  After five long years of George not seeing his family we'll be taking off in a big jet plane southward.  We'll leave the end of May and return June 11.  Tickets have been bought, passports applied for, and now we wait.   It's track season, so we're headed out this slightly gloomy Saturday to watch Hunter and the entire Hiland track team run their best.  Love sitting in the stands at my kids sporting events.  

This poor little blog is a little dusty and neglected.  Well, at least post-wise.  It's always fun to gussy it up and make it look pretty, but another story to try and find something to write about.  I don't like to blog about boring things.  Although things I may find boring are interesting to other people.  Ramble, ramble -- that's how I feel on this Friday night.   I've been following the quake/tsunami in Japan and I find myself glued to the set. I rarely sit down and devour the news channels, but bring on a natural disaster and you can't tear me away.  Why are we drawn to the bad stuff?  There's no rhyme or reason to it.  I can tell you exactly where I was when I heard about 9/11.  I was folding towels on my living room floor.  The kids were at school, so I was able to watch the coverage all day without interruption.  It was riveting.  Going back even farther, I recall watching the war as it raged in Iraq back i...

After repeated requests for the One Egg Cake w/Chocolate Sauce recipe, I'm finally posting it so everyone can enjoy! A little background would be in order for it.  My mom created the paring of the two.  She baked the One Egg cake from the old Betty Crocker cookbook and thought it needed a little pizazz.  Her grandma made an old-fashioned cooked chocolate pudding that she thought would go well over squares of cake.  Thus, One Egg Cake w/Chocolate Sauce was born.  The cake is served hot with the hot chocolate sauce poured over it.  The result is heaven on a plate and is the Sundheimer family all-time favorite dessert! One Egg Cake with Chocolate Sauce Cake: 1 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 1/2  t. baking powder 1 t. salt 1 cup milk 1 t. vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups flour Mix sugar and butter.  Blend in baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla, and egg.  Stir in flour.  Bake at 350 in a greased and floured baking pan for 35-40...

This is my newest blog post on The Bargain Hunter website. It's from my heart and is slightly corny and painful, but it's real. I just can't be someone I'm not anymore. I've learned so much, and am still learning these life's lessons. Dead Carnations

I really like my newest blog post that went up on The Bargain Hunter this week.  I'm thinking it got a little lost in the ice storm we had this week, so I decided to post the link on here.  I love a good snowstorm, but instead of snow we got plain old ice.  There is nothing like ice to ruin a perfectly good blizzard.   Here is the link! http://www.holmesbargainhunter.com/article/20110201/BLOGS11/110209993/-1/hbh

It's time to lay down this load -- I keep picking it back up when God said he would carry it! There are people who are always anticipating trouble, and in this way they manage to enjoy many sorrows that never really happen to them.  ~Josh Billings
