Substituting apple sauce or pumpkin puree for the required oil in pancakes works well. Making such a substitution in waffles is much more risky. It seems the oil is essential to a crispy, non-stick product.

Add enough cream cheese and almost any meal can be salvaged including a cream sauce with too much apple-onion chutney as a base flavor.

Saith the dad… If two male bears live in the same cave, it might be time for one to find a new cave.

Saith the mom… It seems it is time for a cub to move out – or at least vacate the kitchen.

Saith the cubs… *Laughter*

My daughter just informed me that when she searches online for ‘old’ quotes, statements written in the 1970s and 1980s show up. This, she says, means that people who lived then must also be old.
She may be correct as classic cars are between 30 and 49 years old. However, I prefer ‘classic’ to ‘old’, but will draw the line at ever being called ‘pre-antique’.
Short-term memory issues are usually not fun, but they sure do make house cleaning an exciting adventure. It is often a treasure hunt, never knowing what you might find!
Just as I passed the halfway point in my current research paper, family interruptions led to a very strange conversation about space exploration and conspiracy theories.
Yes, this strangeness which I am about to reveal is all my fault. I am easily swayed from my paper on CIA interventions, and my creative energy has been begging me to focus on something utterly ridiculous.
So with all the seriousness I could muster, I informed my family that a combined space army of Imperial Storm Troopers and Klingons were poised to attack. The Death Star was in position, cloaked, and ready to fire on the Earth. If, however, it failed to cause magnificent destruction, an enormous herd of Tribbles would be let loose on humanity, thereby eradicating the sanity of the Earth population and making Earth irrelevant to the intergalactic order.
This bizarre conversation, and sorely needed break from my less-than uplifting historical inquiry, inspired an odd thought.
Life is really just a conspiracy to bring about our eventual death.
until it re-hydrates the poo!
There is something quite nice about writing late at night when the house is quiet. There is such a temptation to write until dawn.
But while the family would understand my crazy desire, it is probably not prudent to risk altering my sleep schedule.
Since I have reached the halfway mark and am at a good transition point, I will be prudent and go to bed.
Oh, but how I miss the days when a few hours sleep would offset an all-nighter at the computer.
Maybe the very best thing about being back in school is the long holiday break and the feeling that sleeping in is a well deserved treat.
People who only have cell phones do not usually get hit by pollsters. Pollsters therefore “overweight” the results for the 18-30 year old bracket to offset the numbers. So do more Democrats (Ds) or more Republicans (Rs) only have cell phones?
Of course I hang up on all pollsters which makes me wonder, do more Ds hangup than Rs or more Rs than Ds?
Now wouldn’t these questions make for good news coverage. But wait, how would the data be collected since people like me don’t play along with all the polling?
