OK, welcome back – now we’re on to the last piece to this puzzle…the mirror. The ‘ugliest bathroom’ must have the ugliest mirror, right. Well, maybe not that bad, but it certainly needed some major attention. I case you forgot, this is what we’re working with… yes, my eyes were bleeding too! The mirror is […] Read more…
I’m sure there’s an ‘Ugliest Bathroom’ competition coming up and boy have I got an entry! Problem is,…I couldn’t wait…so I started to give it a facelift. Mind you I have NO budget for this project.

After the big […] Read more…
Mothers Day is coming, so this week I think I’ll post about flowers and gardening a bit. This is a ‘throw-back’ from last year, but still very relevant. I like to consider myself the Mistress of Mediocrity. I do many, many things pretty well – I don’t do anything particularly well enough to be considered […] Read more…
Several days ago I put up a post for Beef Shank Ragu. I had modified the recipe slightly to make it more like the ‘Ox Tail Ragu’ I had eaten at the Bar Corvo restaurant in Brooklyn. (oh, look I found a photo) I had served mine over polenta, which was easy for me…like Italian […] Read more…
