Could it be Freddie?

A pair of squirrels scrambled onto my ice-covered patio as I exited the house to get another shopping bag out of my car.

One of them looked suspiciously fat. Could it be Freddie? As the squirrel bounded up the stairs, I noticed a red tail. Another good sign.

Then came the test. Would the squirrel take a peanut held between my fingertips?

The squirrel hesitated, stopping on the second stair from the bottom. Oh, maybe it’s not Freddie.

But then she advanced, grabbed the nut, and zipped away. It was Freddie and all’s well in the backyard.

Freddie, where are you?

Freddie, our big fat friendly mommy squirrel, hasn’t shown her face recently.

Freddie, where are you? Come on out to play!

Teaspoon vs. tablespoon makes a difference

Iggy made his delicious lasagna recipe on Saturday.

Only problem is, he added spices by tablespoon instead of the teaspoon. The three tablespoons of red pepper nearly scorched my tongue.

Speaking of scorching, Iggy burned two sauces. The white sauce pan wasn’t too resistant to a good scrub, but progress on the marinara sauce pot has been slow.
