Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

Pork Art

In the Lane-Domingos family, Sausage Balls are a fall/holiday staple. A tradition if you will. Many years ago that tradition also began to include the sculpture of the sausage ball dough into the likeness of a pig face. At times the resemblances are hard to see and other times we question if it should be dissected into balls or put into the Louver for all to marvel at. Our latest batch proved to be very special indeed and both Matthew and Lori were inducted into the Lane brotherhood of pig face artist. I am so proud to pass on this beloved family tradition. I guess that's just what us mama's do!



Who must know the way to make a proper home,
A quiet home, a kosher home?
Who must raise the family and run the home,
So Papa's free to read the holy books?
The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!
The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!

London 2012. Here We Come!

Well, the kiddos are in the early stages of new sport development. A new sport that will take the world by storm at the next Olympic Games in London 2012. The Laundry Luge! This sport is done by riding in a basket/"sled" and luging down the stairs on mounds of dirty laundry.

Caution: This should not be tried by the faint of heart. Only serious athletes and competitors should attempt. Please note that the adrenaline rush is contagious and you will want to repeat this activity often. Please also take note that only when your laundry has been seriously neglected for long periods of time will the conditions be right for optimum luging. On a serious note, please be warned that the photos that you are about to see are graphic in nature and may be frightening to small children and to mothers who would be apalled to ever admit that this could happen to them.

No laundry, delicates or linens were harmed in the making of this event.
