Teri's Doing It! PodcastHam and Banana Rolls? Man!So good that we’re having them for Christmas morning breakfast this year! Even the Professor liked them. Visually, they aren’t quite as attractive as you’d hope (gooey banana and gooey cheese look a little off-putting) but they are very tasty and easy to prepare. I plan to go to the deli counter for the thinly sliced ham next time so I can get longer slices that wrap all the way around the bananas... This is a public episode.

Teri's Doing It! PodcastFall on the Oregon Coast: Best Time to Visit and Things to DoThough I’m no fan of losing leaves on the trees and the abrupt slide into winter, there’s just something about Fall on the Oregon Coast that I can’t wait for. Some of the best weather all year long happens then. The foggy days of summer are past and days are warm and nights are crisp. At night, light a fire in the fireplace, settle in to listen, and appreciate the sea doing what the sea does. The hard part about trying to find a place on the Coast that fits my bill is that it’s hard to...2024-09-0800 min
Teri's Doing It! PodcastChecked TWO Things Off My It's Not Too Late List This WeekI have a lot of things on my It's Not Too Late List. BBL & HALO laser therapy weren't on the list... until they were. I had an inordinate amount of pre-cancerous cells from sun damage, lots of pigmentation, and rosacea had made a ruddy mess of my face. When my dermatologist, Dr. Lindy Borton of Sun Valley Skin Center in Boise, told me that BBL (broadband light) and HALO (a fractional laser) could help, that got my attention. So far, I'm six days post procedures. Before treatment day I decided to make a video of the experience...2024-09-0507 min
