If you get to the bottom of a box of Life (or Living Well) cereal and want to use the dregs, this recipe is pretty useful.

It’s a cookie with a firm peanut butter base and a topping made with melted chocolate, peanut butter, and a cereal called Corn Soya which I’d never heard of and had to look up on Mr. Breakfast. It sounds kind of good, but [...]

Apartment life is going well. Our neighbors are college students, retirees and families with kids. Judging from all the barking dogs and cats in windows, I think almost everyone around us has a pet. Speaking of which, Lizzie and the cat are adjusting quite nicely and Lizzie’s learning not to bark every …
