Orange Roof on the Avenue: Old St. Valentine
http://orangeroofontheavenue.blogspot.com/2012/02/old-st-valentine.html
Orange Roof on the Avenue. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Old St. Valentine. I love Valentine's Day. Not the mushy/tacky parts of the holiday, but pretty much everything else about it makes me grin. What other day of the year is it acceptable (and encouraged) to combine any shade of pink with bright red? J'adore a good pink/red color combo.) What other day of the year is giving a simple carnation to someone sweet and thoughtful? Feel guilty about it? Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown. Valentine's. we nev...

Orange Roof on the Avenue: Switching it up
http://orangeroofontheavenue.blogspot.com/2012/02/switching-it-up.html
Orange Roof on the Avenue. Monday, February 27, 2012. Recipes discovered on Pinterest can be a total hit or a total miss. A sticky bun recipe I found that is ridiculously simple {made with a tube of Pilsbury biscuits, butter, syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon} was a definite keeper, and I've made it several times. Easy and delicious! Via Pinterest. It is DELICIOUS! Healthy, light, and best of all, filling! Nothing is worse than battling hunger pains an hour after you get back to your desk. 1 TBSP rice vin...

http://orangeroofontheavenue.blogspot.com/2012/02/let-me-re-introduce-myself.html
Orange Roof on the Avenue. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Let me re-introduce myself. I am a mad-woman. And I don’t mean to complain… wait, yes I do. I know that complaining won’t solve a thing, but damn, it feels good to vent. And it’s my blog so I can do what I want. There. Stress, the ugly little monster, makes it hard for me to breathe. He sits on my chest and squeezes the air out of my lungs and makes me beg for mercy. Can toddlers even eat hot dogs these days? Aren't they a choking hazard? I hope thin...

http://orangeroofontheavenue.blogspot.com/2012/02/couple-of-things.html
Orange Roof on the Avenue. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. A couple of things. A bunch of random thoughts that bounce around in this head of mine. It means no wedding cake for me. I plan on taking some gladware in my purse so I can bring a piece home to enjoy on Sunday. I'm not kidding. Has anyone watched SMASH on NBC yet? I have been catching up with the episodes On Demand since they are currently conflicting with my Bachelor habit. I thought the first two episodes were phenomenal! By Billie Letts for boo...

Orange Roof on the Avenue: Slap Yo Mama!
http://orangeroofontheavenue.blogspot.com/2012/01/slap-yo-mama.html
Orange Roof on the Avenue. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Anyway, my friend Darby emailed me a recipe that she has lovingly christened Slap Yo Mama Asian Lettuce Wraps. And I've never really contemplated slapping my mama before, but if there is a meal that just might make me give her a big congratulatory slap on the back, then this is it. When the mood strikes, I will order the Chicken Lettuce Wraps appetizer from Miyo's as a meal because they are so delicious. This recipe is seriously more. Add ground meat...

Orange Roof on the Avenue. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. I promise I will stop writing about pumpkins after this post. I will not even mention the word. Until next Fall. Well, actually, I need to share my recipe for Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Pecan Praline Sauce with you. Then I will be done. I swear. I will keep my pumpkin-musings to myself.

Orange Roof on the Avenue. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. On my lunch break today, I decided to go buy a complete dog grooming kit and then spend this evening experimenting on Sam. He just blew a big puff of air through his nose and turned his head away. He’s telling me that he can’t help it. Well, I am tired of forking over $60 to the dog-groomer every month for her to spend 15 minutes shaving him down with an electric razor while she watches Days of Our Lives. His haircuts cost more than mine, and he ...
