March 25th, 2009 by IraThese are hard times for the state of Michigan, the country and pretty much the entire world. The economy is hitting everyone hard these days from rich to poor, young and old- even Georgia and Ira are feeling the squeeze! Please be aware this blog post contains adult language.

Dad in the Gazette circa 1964
March 13th, 2009 by Jason
I recently found this Kalamazoo Gazette newspaper clipping while cleaning-up the house w/ Robin. It’s from 1964, my father, John Craig Van Dalson M.D., was 17 years old at the time. It’s eerie- he looks just like my young brother Jeff (see the pic below). It’s a great photo and his expression is priceless. I remember that look very well. We all miss him dearly.
This Week’s Menu: March 1-7
March 7th, 2009 by Jason
This picture looks pretty dirty, but it was very, very delicious
(Friday’s stromboli).
Sunday: Beef Roast w/ Carrots & Potatoes
Apparently this is our Sunday dish, it’s a very basic recipe, just throw all the ingredients into slow cooker on low and wait a couple of hours.
Monday: Spaghetti
We used ground turkey and added mushrooms but apparently I used the wrong sauce! Darn, my telepathy isn’t working too well this week.
Tuesday: Bacon, cheese, asparagus sandwiches on sourdough
These sandwiches are my new favorite sandwiches, sorry muffeletta.
Wednesday: Hash brown Quiche
This was the best meal of the week and plus it was super easy to make.
Thursday: Chicken Pesto Penne Pasta
Big-shout-outs this week to allrecipes.com this recipe came from there along w/ Friday’s meal.
Friday: Stromboli (with pepperoni, banana peppers & mushrooms)
The recipe is actually is for pepperoni bread. It turned out good taste-wise but looked pretty interesting once we baked it (see the photo above).
Saturday: [out]
