It's actually Quaker's. But there are some alterations that I have made to suit our style. Some healthier alterations.Here is my gluten-free version:To-Die-For Oatmeal Raisin Cookies1/2 c butter1/2 c sucanat4 eggs, organic 1-2 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. cinnamon1/2 tsp. Himalayan...

What Do You Do When...
Posted on 11:42 AM by fbdfbfb
What do you do when your schedule is too full for you to do what you love best?That is the question. I'm a devoted writer who loves writing fiction AND non-fiction, and if I had the chance, I'd write 24/7. But I don't seem too devoted when I let my other responsibilities override my love for writing. I used to pride myself in doing what was necessary and leaving what I wanted for last. Any more I realize it's not a form of unselfishness but a misplacement...

Culinary Chronicles: The Holidays Are Here Again!
Posted on 12:38 PM by fbdfbfb
The days are growing shorter, and colder, and Thanksgiving is just next week! Every year we complain that the holidays come too quickly, but this year, though I still agree, I'm setting my mind to enjoy it anyway. I told my family that I'm going to listen to Christmas music when I want and do holiday activities when I want. This might sound spoiled, but what I really mean is I'm not going to wait around and let it slip by me again. My family understands...

Holothurian Distinction
Posted on 1:09 PM by fbdfbfb

After first being introduced to the "live" world of ocean exploration this last June, I have wrote a few articles on the finds of both NOAA's Okeanos Explorer, and the Nautilus, which is funded by many different exploration groups as well as by NOAA.Courtesy of NOAA Photo LibraryA creature that both have seen at their different destinations on more than one occasion is the holothurian, or sea cucumber. The terrestrial equivalent to these exciting...

The Best Intentions...
Posted on 1:35 PM by fbdfbfb
So much for the best intentions! Long ago I had intended to have written a post on Holothurians (sea cucumbers) in the Caribbean, as well as more on ROV's. Unfortunately, since I spend so much of my time trying to figure out which is more important to me, crocheting and marine science, I find myself falling behind in my plans. My crochet schedule is subject to a deadline not my own, while there is no such demand for my science articles. I can't say...

The Woman in White (1948) - Movie Review
Posted on 1:35 PM by fbdfbfb
Hello again, everybody! Halloween is almost here and this is a movie you must see! Full of suspense and danger, this movie will definitely get your blood racing. Never have I seen Sydney Greenstreet in a more terrifying and demented role. Hardly the overbearing-but-jolly man I grew up seeing in Christmas in Connecticut (one which I reviewed last year if you'd like to read about it).Eleanor Parker plays duel parts in this film and does a remarkable...
