| To save cash and time during the hectic holidays, try making dinners ...
When my handsome husband and I got married 13 years ago, I worked at a restaurant and was accustomed to living out of the to-go boxes I carted home every night. In typical bachelor style, John was accustomed to eating out three times a day. Facing the usual newlywed financial struggles, such as a new mortgage, I knew one thing that had to change immediately was John's three-meal-a-day restaurant habit. This was one bad habit that proved surprisingly easy to kick. We invested in some Rubbermaid, and I would simply make enough extra food for a lunch or two when I preparing dinner. John quickly realized just how much more money he had in his wallet at the end of the week. He also liked not wasting part of his lunch break having to chase down food. .

Baddeley enjoying another game: American football
I'm learning about it," Baddeley told reporters at the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course on Tuesday when asked about American football. "I enjoy watching good quarterbacks because you can kind of see how they sort of control the field. I love watching (Tom) Brady play because he seems like he's always calm, cool and collected and knows exactly what he's trying to do every time. I like watching (Tony) Romo, too. I'm learning about the game. I always like to sit with someone who knows about the game so I can ask them questions about what you can and can't do. I'm definitely starting to enjoy the game a lot more than I did."
Baddeley said he does not have a favorite NFL team and that he does not plan to attend Super Bowl XLII in Glendale on Sunday. .
Cook's Corner: Get ready for football with party dip recipes
The Super Bowl is coming, and so are the parties and get-togethers that surround the event. I'm usually not much of a professional football fan, but I must admit I'm happy about the New England Patriots being in the big game this year. I can remember liking the Patriots for a long, long time. Even when I was laughed at for liking them, I still liked them. I'm not sure why I like the Patriots. I just like the name. For the same reason, I'm a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At any rate, I plan to take a little time on Feb. 3 to watch at least some of the game. Actually, I'll probably be watching the commercials as much as the game because of all of the interest in those little spots between plays. If you plan to watch the game and the commercials, you may want to have your party foods planned out well in advance so preparation is done before the game begins.

Mike Gravel no dropout It's war. Lincoln Park Mayor Frankie Vaslo vs Susan Giffin, the Michigan codirector of the Mike Gravel campaign for president 2008. Those with perfect attendance at reading this production of the Smintonian House of Fun noted that Mayor Vaslo was making light of the late Pat Paulsen's vote total in the recent Michigan Democratic primary. Vasio said: Paulsen's "strong showing, I am sure, convinced Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel to gracefully exit the race." But, "Senator Dodd did drop out of the presidential race after the Iowa caucus; however, Senator Gravel did not," Giffin said.
