    What is your favorite seasonal candy?

    Candy is present at almost every holiday that I can remember.  All different types in all different shapes and sizes.  Today we ask – do you have a favorite seasonal candy? I am a chocoholic at heart and I don’t need a holiday to eat it.  I love just about any kind or flavor of chocolate, the exception being the “healthy” ones – the 80% and above cacao. BUT, I do have a favorite candy that I can only get at Easter.  I know this is not going to be a popular or even appreciated answer but I love a good PEEP.  I know it is pure sugar and nothing…

    Is there a particular holiday present that stands out to you?

    As we look back over the years of holidays, we realize that we have received a LOT of presents.  Is there one that stands out above all the rest? A lot of the presents I have received over the years have been special, unique and/or fun.

It was a rather ordinary Christmas that became special in time. I was working full time with three young children; Adam was just six months old that year.  So, to say that I was stressed and overwhelmed trying to get the house decorated, presents bought along with the day to day schedule is an understatement. I can remember sitting…

    How far is it to the nearest big city and how often do you go?

    Cities. Some of us live in them, some near them and some so far away the trip is wearisome. We would love to hear what your nearest big city is – and then, do you visit it?    I am lucky enough to live quite possibly directly in the middle of two fairly “big cities” – Boston, MA and Providence< RI.  Yet, I can honestly say that I can count on my hands the amount of times I have visited the city of Providence.  Mostly to attend a theatrical production at the Performing Arts Center there and I did pick my brother up at the bus station for one of…

    What recipe are you famous for?

    Food is always at the center of our family get-togethers. We each have our favorite dish and whether we like to cook or not, we usually have one recipe that we are famous for.  We would LOVE to acquire some great new recipes – would you like to share yours either below in comments or over on the Facebook page?   Scroll down to see what Pam and Ellen have picked as theirs. Let me start this off by saying – I HATE TO COOK. I have never liked it – just does nothing for me even though I love to eat what others have cooked. (Psssst – I don’t like…
