Anyone out there know how to get lots and lots of purple marker off a two-year-old’s arms, legs and hands?

Just curious.

He used to be so cute.

I’ve always lived in Indiana, but things are different up here. I grew up outside of Indianapolis, but now I live in the far northwest corner of the state. We’re considered part of Chicagoland.

People up here speak strangely. Not all of them… just some of them.

You know those little clips used to hold hair out of your face? Are those called buh-rettes or bar-rettes?

Settle the score for me, please.  Just curious.

I’ve confessed before that my husband and I are Food Network nerds. Sometimes we actually set our DVR to record Iron Chef America or the Food Network Challenges.

There, I said it. Now you now.

Anyway, he and I are puzzled by something…. Maybe one of you smart people out there can help us.

What is the difference between a chef and a cook?

I know that a chef is in charge of the whole kitchen, while a cook is in charge of a specific station. But, is there a schooling factor also? What if you’re an educated cook who does not work in a restaurant? Are you still a chef? Please help! We’re confused foodies, here.

I’m just curious here. I’ve been thinking a lot about space these days. We certainly don’t seem to have enough of it, but then again, I could live in Manhattan. My quaint house would be huge. ;)  Thankfully, it’s summer, so our yard helps expand our non-existent playroom.

This post is for everyone. I need people to comment on the amount of space you have in your house per person. For those of you who are a bit math-challenged (like I am sometimes,) it’s like this:

Take the total number of square feet in your house and divide it by the total number of people living there. (For our purposes, we will not count pets… that would up my denominator by two more!)

Just for the record, my answer is 151.4 sq ft/person.

For all you “lurkers” out there who read my blog but never comment, now’s your chance! There’s no threat of controversy posed by your commenting. Please do so now! (And while you’re at it — just for fun — tell us where you’re from.)
