I have an inexplicable attraction to teen-oriented shows, and right now I’m stuck on “Vampire Diaries” and “Gossip Girl.” Even though I’m a vampire fan, I didn’t expect to like “Vampire Diaries” — my spouse described the first episode as “Dawson’s Creek with vampires,” and he was right on. But the plot is moving along at a good clip, there’s some decent humor in it, and the young actors are talented and fun to watch. And last summer, I enjoyed the dark humor of Edie Falco in “Nurse Jackie,” although I confess I haven’t yet caught up on the last few episodes. I want to like “Glee,” but I’m having a hard time with it. Jane Lynch is just so brilliant at being awful that I find her hard to watch.

I made the Tres Leche Cake this weekend from Pioneer Woman’s site. I have to say we were a tad bit disappointed. It sounded like such an indulgence but was basically a cream saturated sponge cake without much flavor.

I have copied several other recipes off her site and am sure we’ll find many we love! I’m anxious to hear of your favorites from her new cookbook!

I am interested to hear what you think of FFF and how your family likes that food. My family is pretty picky, and they surely won’t eat anything made with canned soup.

I am sorry to hear about all your troubles.

I’d be bitter about the interrupted sleep thing too.

To paraphrase that old saying … “If mama ain’t sleeping, nobody’s happy.” Sorry to hear about your loss and work troubles. I hope you have a good, long rest tonight. I’m going to bed now myself. Zzzzz.

We are enjoying all of those as well. Plus Modern Family. Its a truly well-done 1/2 hour comedy…..not many of those around anymore.

I watch The Big Bang Theory with Laura. That’s the only one that’s got me hooked.

Glee is the one and only. And it’s the first show I’ve watched regularly for several years. I’ve caught part of one episode of Modern Family and thought it seemed fairly smart. But I haven’t seen enough to say for sure and I haven’t gotten the chance to see it again. Glee, though, is currently the only show already programmed in my brand new DVR.

Thanks for stopping by! We definitely have similar parenting styles. I’m sure that means it’s the best one.
