Killer or Prank
I don’t know when I became one of those people that call the police but with every year I get older I seem to become the neighborhood patrol officer. Today as I drove to pick up some things at the store I was cut off by a man in a station wagon (which happens and I moved on with my day) As I followed behind him I noticed there was something caught in his trunk the closer I got the more my heart pounded, the horror of seeing Blonde Hair coming out of his trunk put me in a panic, I flew up behind him and my erratic driving I’m sure sparked his as he then whipped down a side street….Of course 911 was dialed as I played “pretend cop” and whip down the same street after him….I quickly explained what I saw and was told to stop following the car hahaha How could I …. I’m in a high speed chase with a KILLER!! The man quickly lost me and I gave the plate number to the dispatcher. I got a call about an hour later, they had went to the man’s house had him open his truck and there lied a hair clip attachment that clipped to the side of the trunk as a Halloween decoration….Really??? Really?? With all the Crazy things happening in the world the last thing we need is hair hanging out of trunks. Of course I can tell if its a fake plastic bloody leg but seriously HAIR!?

Family Books
A little glimpse on how our Household runs, I have certain ways to keep our house organized and efficient. Years ago we had a drawer full of Menus and Recipes and I knew I needed to organize it, but how?? I decided to head to staples and get white binders with plastic slip in pages. I really got into it and decorated the covers and put inserts of their names on the side. I took twenty minutes and went around to all our favorite take out joints and restaurant, even some new places we have never tried before and made our very own Family Take out Guide (there is nothing worse than wanting to get takeout on a Saturday night and being clueless on what to get, this way Ralph and I can flip through it together) . Then I collected all of my recipes along with some of Ralph’s moms recipes and made my "Recipe Book" If I ever need some ideas or just have no clue what to make I will flip through my book. I also have it organized in sections so If I have chicken in the refrigerator and need some ideas I can easily hand Ralph the book and he can go to the chicken section and decided what he wants for dinner, it definitely takes the guessing game out of the equation.
It’s expanded from there and we now have a “Family Activity Book” and “Home Project and To Do’s” book. Ralph and I are pretty busy but when we have a weekend off and want to do something new and exciting we go into our Family Activity Book (Which contains EVERY activity Imaginable in the Boston area, and a few things in VT and NH) and choose what would be Fun! We used it a lot during the summer and we really enjoying having it….I always think to the future too, when we have kids it will be nice to let them look through the activity book and choose what we can All do as a Family.
As far as our Home Projects book goes, it’s been interesting...It ranges from everything as far as taking out and storing AC’s for winter to Building Ramps/Rails on one side of the bed so Josh won’t fall off!! I always try and find ways to make life easy in our Home, we now have a place for all our recipes and menus, we don’t have "to do" list lying all around the house and if we want to get out and have an adventure we have plenty to choose from!!
More To Come...............
Oh and I know I'm not a VACCA yet but like I said....Always planning for the Future HAHAHA

Doggie Cookies
You know the exciting and warm feeling you get when your house is filled with the aroma of homemade chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven…I do, It brings me back to my childhood when I would bake cookies with my mom. I always wondered if my Pups were missing out and I wanted them to experience that same feeling…Who says dogs don’t deserve a little spoiling too!
I bake these cookies for my dogs every so often and they Love them!!! You can also personalize them with their name if you want to get fancy. Take the left overs and put them in a Tupperware and they are set for a few weeks! Or if you have neighbors with dogs put them in a carton and tie a ribbon on them and have you and your dog walk over a special treat for your doggie friends!!
Dog Bone Cookie Cutters can be found at AcMoore ( I practically live there, my Favorite Store!!)
Ingredients
Makes about 5 dozen
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken stock, plus more for brushing
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt; set aside
2. Place oil in a large bowl. Add stock and flour mixture in three alternating batches, beginning and ending with stock. Mix well.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a dog-bone-shaped cookie cutter or by cutting around a store-bought dog bone with a butter knife.(Make biscuits that are appropriate for your dog's size.)
4. If desired, you can spell out your dog's name or a holiday message in the dough with a toothpick (wet the toothpick first so it won't stick).
5. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
6. Bake biscuits 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets, and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven, leaving door closed. Let dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
