Mamacita says: When the kids came home on Christmas Eve, I was ready with Christmas cookies. I knew the children were glad to be home for Christmas, but I didn’t really understand all the laughing coming from the kitchen. Then they ran for their cameras and took pictures of the cookies. Or, rather, one of [...]

Mamacita says: 1. We’re supposed to be on the receiving end of a mighty and majestic ice storm tonight. I hope not. I’ve got candy canes for my students tomorrow. I am hoping, since so many of them didn’t do well on the final, that when they look at their test and the “This sucks!” [...]

Mamacita says: It seems that there is yet another category in which I am a rare bird: I love to wrap presents for people! In this day and age of stuffing things into gift bags at the last minute, I love to savor the wrapping of a gift. I love to look over my stash [...]

Mamacita says: I baked three more pies tonight; the cherry pie turned out fine, but the two pecan pies boiled over and the bottom of my oven is covered with sticky carmelized sugar and the whole house smells like “Is something burning?” I had to open the patio doors to let the smoke out; I [...]

Mamacita says: What is this “leftovers” thing I’ve been hearing about? I don’t think we have any of that. That’s why I’m baking more pies tonight. The company is still arriving and the first two batches done et up all the pie! I love Thanksgiving. And company: I love you even more. Keep driving up; [...]

Mamacita says: There were times when “I’m late” meant something completely different. 1. I finally figured out the main reason I hate most rap: I can’t stand “near rhymes.” 2. I’m putting up my Christmas tree, which always gives me a bad nosebleed. If I tell you that I’ve collected wondrous ornaments since 1973 before [...]

Mamacita says: I’ve posted before about Velveeta, but I’m doing it again because Velveeta is sponsoring a contest and if you know what’s good for you (seriously, cheese is good for you!) you’ll click right straight on over there and check out the recipes, accompanied by pictures. And you’ll also notice some familiar – I [...]

Mamacita says: I made oatmeal-raisin cookies this evening. I really wasn’t in the mood to bake anything, and I hate raisins, but my husband loves cookies and ever since I learned that Splenda works in almost any recipe that requires sugar, he’s asked for them on occasion and I usually come through. Eventually. I’m still [...]

Mamacita says: Indeed YES, that is homemade apple pie that you smell. Four different kinds of apples, butter, cinnamon, a sprinkling of flour, and a half cup of Splenda. Oh, and crust. Sometimes I make the crust myself, and sometimes I buy generic the very best. I always poke holes in the shape of a [...]

Mamacita says: 1. I haven’t mentioned, here, if I’m happy or upset over the election results. I’ll have to say that I’m majorly unhappy over my own state’s choice of governor, but as for the presidential election, I’m only saying that I will stand by the winner. One’s personal choice of candidate is supposed to [...]
