Are you a procrastinator?

I've been accused of being a procrastinator and I must admit I can be. I'm not lazy or unmotivated, there are just some things that I hate to do, like: hanging up my clothes, emptying the dishwasher, paying bills and returning unwanted/unneeded merchandise. "Studies show that 95 percent of us procrastinate once in a while and a whopping 20 percent to 25 percent of Americans are considered chroni...

Homemade mozzarella cheese

About a week ago I planted a Italian Plum Tomato plant and it has nearly doubled it's size. I also have an herb garden which is full of basil.

Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes

I have become a huge fan of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and TV show on the Food Network. Ina Garten is actually a relaxing, pleasure to watch...not a booming, obnoxious Rachael Ray. I made this pasta salad yesterday for lunch and it was incredible. I added toasted pinenuts as well.

1/2 pound fusilli (spirals) pasta
Kosher salt
Olive oil
1 pound ripe tomatoes, medium-diced
3/4 cup...
