Never Stop Being His Girlfriend

0 comments

You’ve probably already guessed what the third “F” is. Because I like to consider myself a lady and also because I do NOT want to have the other pre-deceased Medora’s spinning in their graves, I’ll refer to it as: F3 If you are in the beginning stages of a new […]

7 Layer Salad

0 comments

In my personal experience, I’ve met very few men – or children – who will willingly eat a salad.  It’s not something that is usually on their list of favorite foods.  Now, I’m not saying that this is true of ALL men or children, but as a general rule, I […]

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

For my first recipe blog/post, I was going to talk about and explain how to make small cakes in a jar that are perfect for mailing.  I decided, instead, to start with something relatively simple and classic – chocolate chip cookies.  My recipe is a variation on the regular chocolate […]

Men: Figuring Them Out is Not That Complicated

0 comments

Recently, I was conversing with a twenty-something GenYer. She was talking about a couple she knew and that the male counterpart of this couple sometimes acted like a little boy.  He wasn’t necessarily immature – but he just seemed little boy-like. Without even thinking, I quickly responded, “why, all men […]
