http://happytobefromiowa.blogspot.com/2015/02/you-get-what-you-need.html
HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. You get what you need. You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. WANT a lot more money and economic security. GET a nice roof over my head, food in the house, and a healthy family. WANT someone to take care of me, make me toast, and mother me. GET a hubby who keeps the walls up, shovels the snow, lifts the heavy objects. WANT a youthful face with perfect makeup and no chin hairs. Good kids a...

HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Sunday, December 18, 2011. You Can't Have Too Many Cookies. Was all by myself. I'm just too busy this season to join up with my dear friend MG. For our annual gig. Next up was Mexican Chocolate refrigerator cookies. These lovelies were dark chocolate with a hint of cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Also made the ubiquitous pretzel-and-candy thingies, and some sugar cookies. 1/2 c evaporated milk. 1T instant coffee (I would just a bit more). 1/3 c whippin...

HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA: Motherhood is not for weenies
http://happytobefromiowa.blogspot.com/2014/12/motherhood-is-not-for-weenies.html
HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Motherhood is not for weenies. If you think . . . . You are a reasonably likeable person, with an adequate level of skills and talents. You have attracted some great people into your life because you are a good friend and enjoyable company. You are logical and mature about life's problems, and have a good sense of what's worth a fight and what isn't. January 4, 2015 at 5:11 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Picture ...

HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA: Cookie Day 2014
http://happytobefromiowa.blogspot.com/2014/12/cookie-day-2014.html
HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Saturday, December 20, 2014. Making my Mocha Chewies. Some rolled cinnamon bun cookies I found online, and cream cheese Spritz cookies - if I can find my cookie press that is. It's not as much fun without MG - but schedules didn't align this year. Not really feeling it this year - probably because I'm still suffering the effects of influenza a week later! I hope you had a great holiday! December 30, 2014 at 11:16 AM. Because blogspot requires a title.

http://happytobefromiowa.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-eve-update.html
HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Friday, December 24, 2010. The du Noel has been Buched, the wine is mulled, the nuts are spiced and soon the chicken will be parmesaned, the shrimp scampied, and the Eve-ing underway. Our regular Christmas guests had to bail with the crud. But we will make merry on our own. The Hippocras is one of my favorite holiday drinks - just enough to get all warm and merry. Just wish I had some medieval-type goblets! HIPPOCRAS - warm spiced wine. You Win Some...

HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA: Holiday Coleslaw
http://happytobefromiowa.blogspot.com/2011/11/holiday-holiday-coleslaw.html
HAPPY TO BE FROM IOWA. Even though I live in Minnesota. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Thanksgiving was a blast - literally. As you know my family is a bit, well, back-woods. Educated backwoods, but we still proudly carry our white trash genes. So of course Thanksgiving near some open fields means get out the shot guns and clay pigeons cuz dinner's over and it's SHOOTIN TIME! My first time ever shooting off something larger than a BB gun, and I hit 3/3! I myself uttered "We need more ammo! 1/4 c lemon juice.
