Harlequin is 60 years old and to celebrate they are making 17 of their books (a $60 value -- get it?) available for free download. They have a variety of types of romances, from inspirational to historical to suspense to hot and steamy. I don't know how long this offer will last so go, go now. You know you want to.
My daughter told me about it last night and we both downloaded a few. Today at lunch, I asked her if she wanted to watch an episode of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency with me (thank you Netflix). She said no, she wanted to finish the first chapter of one of the books she had downloaded. A couples hours later she came out and said she had to stop reading because it isn't good for you to look at a computer uninterrupted for an extended period of time. I suspect she read more than the first chapter. Because she is enjoying it and you should, too.

Leftover Sauerkraut
Whenever we have hot dogs I like to have some sauerkraut. Sauerkraut and mustard is may favorite hot dog topping. My husband will take a small portion of sauerkraut and my kids will tolerate the smell but do not eat it. Since I have loved sauerkraut since I was a small child I do not understand this behavior. Who raised these kids? Just weird.
Anyway, I always end up with at least half a can of sauerkraut left over. Sometimes I eat it in the next few days, sometimes it ends up being pushed to the back of the fridge where it sits becoming cute and fuzzy.
So, I was looking through recipes that used sauerkraut over on allrecipes and that inspired me to create a wonderful dish that uses apples, onions and smoked sausage.
Sauerkraut Skillet
Heat skillet over medium heat and add one slice smoked sausage.
When the sausage has had a chance to brown a bit add a tablespoon or two of butter and one chopped onion.
Cook until the onion becomes translucent and add two sliced apples (unpeeled).
Cook until the apple begins to soften and the onion is getting a bit of color, then add your leftover sauerkraut (or a whole can, if you'd like) and about two tablespoons of brown sugar.
Heat through and serve.
Delicious, IMHO.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
My goodness. Over a month since I posted anything here, but today is my mom's birthday.
I love you, mom. Happy birthday.
Here is a video that isn't really birthdayish, but at least it lets my mom know that she raised me right.
