Goodbye, burned brownie edges!
You know when you were a kid, and you’d mistakenly say to that annoying kid on the bus, “I really love Marathon Bars,” and he’d say in his annoying voice, “Oh yeah? Well, you gonna marry them?” And even though you were only ten you knew that was a really stupid thing for him to say, but it bothered you anyway? Well, I’ve just met a piece of bakeware that I don’t think I’d mind marrying…especially … Read entire article »

Claymation Sensation
Like practically the rest of the entire country, we’ve been freezing here at Chez Polka Dot all week. I have to admit…I have not been happy. Had I wanted to freeze in January, I would have stayed in New York instead of moving south of the Mason Dixon fifteen years ago. But, you can’t do anything about Mother Nature, right? So the kiddos and I turned to indoor pursuits to entertain ourselves. I’d been wanting to … Read entire article »

The Evolution of a Cardboard Box
There’s a cardboard box in my backyard, and the kids are playing with it. For some reason, that cardboard box suddenly sent me on a time warp into the past. It used to be… A cardboard box meant I was packing up my stuff from my bachelorette pad(s) and moving in to a new house with friends, or heading to a new town, or shifting from college to home for the summer.

Geomate Jr.
So you and the kids are ready to go geocaching…ready to sniff around and find a hidden treasure. You pile into the family truckster, head to a local park, tumble out of the car…and then you realize: You forgot to upload some geocaches into your GPS.

Return of the pie iron
Okay, so I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from Polka Dot Suitcase. Miss me? Happily, Big Fish is nicely healing from his four-level spinal fusion (ouch!) and we’re back in business. Looks like I’ve got some blog-catching-up to do. And what better way to start than to revisit my beleaguered pie iron attempts from last month? Happily, I learned my lesson from that sad experience and the next couple times we tried it, we did … Read entire article »
