Now that I travel with a little one, I like using VRBO to find a place, even if it is just for a few days. It's usually the same price as a hotel, has a kitchen, and means that we don't have to hide in the bathroom or hallway while we wait for the little guy to fall asleep!

Circus cookies at the beach. I thought I was going to be the mom who brought the fun treats to the beach. Instead I found out that they melted in the hot car on the way there, and when little sandy hands tried to get them out the result was melted icing mixed with sand on shortbread cookies. good times. I gave my self an A for effort though. Road Trip Food Mishaps: What Car Trip Snack Idea Was a Total Bust? |

When I was introducing "table" foods to my son when he was a baby, several parenting books, blogs, etc all said not to get discouraged if/when he didn't like a certain food and to try introducing it again at a later time. Their (collective) reasoning was that it could take up to 80 tries for a person to like a food. So, yes, I do think that the taste buds can be trained.

I have a friend who breaks the ice simply by saying, "Ron Jeremy." The first person to respond gets a smile, handshake, and a friend for the evening. It's funny to watch. What's Your Very Best Ice Breaker? Reader Discussion |

I fond a similar note on a pasta pot I recently purchased, but it didn't have detailed instructions so I "winged" it. Fingers crossed. BTW, what's the average life of a non-stick pan? Do You Season Your Nonstick Pans? |

Got to replenish the body's lost electrolytes so gatorade, pedialyte, or some soup with crackers will do. Follow it up with a long walk to justify dozing on the couch while the latest professional golf match plays on the t.v. quietly. My Favorite Hangover Cure |

The grocery bag in the sink has always freaked me out a little. How do you keep your kitchen safe from cross-contamination? I'd prefer taking a couple of steps to the trash can/compost bin rather than risking a food-borne illness that could knock me out of commission for a couple of days.
