November 14, 2011 I realize it's still a little over a week away, but the turkey is the BIG DEAL on Thanksgiving Day. It warrants planning. If you've made the Thanksgiving Turkey in the past, you know there are several different ways to season it, and bake, grill or deep-fry it. If you've never made a Thanksgiving turkey, you've probably been scouring cookbooks, the internet, or asking for advice from others. Taste of Home can end your search for the perfect recipe and you can move on to your salads, rolls and side dishes. Here's Taste of Home's Herb Roasted Turkey Recipe, check it out!
November 14, 2011 When I got the text from a friend that Dolly had passed, three came to mind, Dolly Parton, THE Dolly Llama and Dolly the llama at the Lake Superior Zoo.

I had spent some time with her during Boo at the Zoo this year and she was her usually sassy self. She kept trying to nose her way into our cauldron of candy!!
The Lake Superior Zoo will be holding a Memorial for Dolly, to celebrate her life, and you're invited. Here's the details, she will be missed!!!!

November 7, 2011 When I was pregnant with Kylee almost 18 years ago the main thing they told me to be careful of, was eating fish from the St. Louis Bay. They were concerned with the mercury content I might be ingesting
November 4, 2011 It's this week-end, Daylight Savings time! If you are still confused, it's FALL back an hour.

That way you know they're fresh and ready to keep your family safe. Here's the Duluth Fire Department's reminder.
