Last night I went to the grocery store to buy cream cheese. Well, ok, Trevor needed some cream cheese for a dessert he was making for work the next day, and I said, I'll go, but give me the grocery list on the fridge and I'll pick up those things, too, while I'm there. It was a short list--turmeric, onions, crushed tomatoes, and then, cream cheese.
Eighty-five dollars, three bags of groceries,...
The WCHA went to 10 teams in 1999-00, adding Mankato State.
And all we've ever known in that era is boring playoff series for the top seeds.
In the 14-year span from 1999-00 to present in the WCHA, No. 1 seeds are 14-0 in the first round, going an astounding 28-2 in games in that span. The only two losses by top seeds were Anchorage over Minnesota in 2007 and Duluth over North Dakota in 2001....

If you've ever had to downsize your belongings or help a parent or aging relative with downsizing, what you're about to read will come as no surprise.
Most of us possess an enormous quantity of stuff. Stuff we don't use and don't need, yet continue to hang onto for whatever reason.

In the week following the Pemberton Trail 50K, the warm days in the desert offered an opportunity to pile on miles.
Easy, flat footing, along with ideal temperatures, allowed me to easily log more than 45 miles, bringing my 8-day total to an all-time high. Near the end of my stay, I began reading the Hanson Marathon Method in preparation for spring and summer.
My return to Grand Forks also pr...
I love Asian foods, but I find that I don't think to make them too often. In the last few weeks, I've been trying dishes from PrepDish so it's thank to her that I have this picture of Chicken and Broccoli to share with you today. The original recipe called for beef, not chicken, but since I already had chicken in the freezer, I decided to use it instead.
You'll need to check out PrepDish on ou...
