The Puxatony Pill
Well, tomorrow is Groundhog Day! Supposedly, Puxatony Phil will predict the weather yet again. The tradition of Groundhog Day dates back to 1887. The story goes if Phil sees his shadow we will have six more weeks of winter but if he doesn't, Spring is on it's way. Text the word "groundhog" to 247365 to get his prediction via a text message. Rodents and technology partnering to bring us news we can use!
The question is do you swallow the Puxatony pill? Do you believe a groundhog can predict the coming of spring or the continuation of winter? Do you plant your garden by Phil's forecast? Historians report Phil seen his shadow more times than he didn't, 97-15. I can't remember exactly what the weather did after his predictions. Can you?
The largest crowd ever is expected for the countdown on this 2013 Groundhog Day's Eve. Dick Clark would be proud! People will gather at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania awaiting the impending decisiveness of the illustrious Phil. A large plexiglass illuminated cutout of him will stand erected for visitors to ohhh and ahhh over starting at one minute before midnight. Join the Inner Circle. You get some nifty groundhog stuff for a membership fee of $15. If those cool top hats are one of the perks, I'm in!
How about you? Do you swallow the Phil pill or not? Leave me a comment and let me know if you depend on Phil for your winter/spring forecast. You may think it's a bunch of baloney, well that's not so or the groundhog would be a pig...
Phoney or the real Phil,

Saving Thyme - Thursday's Pinterest Recipe Review
Do you pin recipes you rarely make? I do. But for you and me, for us, I'm committing to trying a new Pinterest recipe every week. You'll find a review posted here every Thursday as "Saving Thyme". How will you benefit?
- It takes time to make new recipes. Time is precious. Let's use our time for easy, delicious recipes!
- It takes money to buy different ingredients you may never use again
- "Saving Thyme" will save you time and money.
- I didn't duplicate the basil. I used the dried basil but replaced the fresh basil with Italian Parsley. (yum)
- I omitted the Parmesan Cheese from the cheesy yum. If I smell it, I won't eat it!
- I used gluten free lasagna noodles.
1 =save your time, 2 =try if you got the goods, 3 =just so-so, 4 =close to Mom's and 5 =grab a recipe card

Lasagna Soup deserves a recipe card for taste alone. I rate the preparation of the recipe as a (3) where 1=kid proof, 2=easy, 3=worth the time, 4=difficult and 5=enroll in culinary school. The recipe has many ingredients and takes about an hour to make from start to plate.

Godere! Enjoy in Italian...
The soup slides down so easy! Garlic Bread complements this Italian favorite. The dish is perfect for a cold afternoon, a sure hit for game day and the leftovers will taste better than when first cooked. Make it a day ahead to save even more time!

Every day I challenge myself to create exciting and different meals for my husband and me. I love to make homemade french fries. Today, I fried broccoli (without breading). The taste was unique and interestingly good. The regurgitation I'm experiencing... |

The Decision Tree: "Leafing Me Sappy"
Are you faced with decisions? Really, is that even a question? We all face minor, major and everyday decisions...even when we don't want to!
Life comes with built-in decision making abilities. Decisions -- a means to an end. If you take the ring, you're getting married soon. If you get an education degree, watch out students! If you stop taking birth control, chances are you'll get pregnant and maybe have not one baby but twins! Compounding the decision, you have to "decide" you're ready for the results of your decisions. Knowing the outcome of all decisions should be as simple as peeing on a stick.

Small Space, Big Organization
Do you scour magazines or websites dreaming of an organized laundry room/closet combination? Frustrated with the elaborate large spaces that would cost a fortune? Secretly, you know an average person's closet isn't "that" organized and "that" neat! Recently I had the opportunity to remodel my laundry room/closet. I designed the layout of my 10'x10' room, a mere 100 square feet, into a highly organized, functional space. The
