My Favorite Crustless Quiche

It’s getting close to another marathon run but this time it will be different. I’m going solo. That’s right. My partner in “crime” is sending me off to Duluth, MN all by my lonesome. Ted will be working on his own training for upcoming triathlons so after accompanying me on 16 previous marathons, he says “you’re on your own for this one.” I don’t mind travelling on my own since I used to do it so often, starting in college then for work.

Beware of Your Socks!

First things first: No critter in the live trap this morning. I didn't check the peanut butter bait and can only hope it's still there. If not, the situation is worse than anticipated: we could have a "smart mouse". Stay tuned for more updates..... Second: This is a warning. Socks can be dangerous! It has happened again.

Personally, the last finger I would injure pulling on my sock would be my middle finger but we are [...]
