Kitchen: Most Popular Room In Our House

One thing I’ve realized, and many of you probably would agree with me, is that the kitchen is the most popular and used room in a house.  All of Abby’s friends love to hang out in the kitchen specially when Cynthia is cooking. After Champagne helped Cynthia prepare a delicious meal, she was very tired…

Kitchen Help Wanted

For those of us that have furry kids, preparing a meal – heck, even making a sandwich- feels like someone put up a sign that says, “Kitchen help wanted,” and our canine companions never fail to answer such ad.  Look at the attention they are paying Cynthia.

Come On Kids, The Canine Kind, Let’s Barbecue

Yes, let’s barbecue in November.  This time Cynthia had two, Alex and Sienna, sous chefs in tow, therefore, thank God, she did not need me.   Boy, these kids have not patience at all. Wow!  Finally.  Why do they take so long to cook? Sienna has an innocent look that Alex is just not buying….
