Here in the United States, the housing market has been struggling over the past few months. Here in Florida, there are probably more houses for sale than I ever remember. The good thing is that if you are in the market for a new home, there are plenty of choices. And the prices are coming done enough so that Mortgages are not as scary as they were a few years ago.
Tonight at the gym, we were just talking about how many people got over their heads with a mortgage that was way over of reach. With the many foreclosures and short sales that have taken place, some could be fearful of taking on a mortgage. However, most mortgages are less than rent! And you are building equity with a mortgage.
When you are looking to get a mortgage, be smart about it. Don't become house poor. The way the economy is right now, prices may drop further and you don't want your mortgage to be higher than the value of your home. Borrow what you can afford, even if you get a pay cut next year. Do you research and find a reputable mortgage lender before you sign on the dotted line.

I am involved in a few social networking groups, but none of them are for food lovers. www.foodconnect.com has a wide variety of networking opportunities for those that love food and wine. They have an extensive selection of member shared recipes that are available even without signing up. It actually gives you the nutritional information for the recipes too. That alone is enough reason to submit them- not to mention, a community to share with and to learn from. I love that the recipes are broken down into categories with a title to review before seeing the actual recipe. Definitely worth the time to check out.
www.foodconnect.com is the ultimate tool for every foodie.
What makes foodconnect.com so great? These and many other features:
- Free nutritional analysis, for all recipes on the site and every recipe you submit.

For some reason, my sons school was closed today. They said it was a teacher work day, but March 3 seems a weird day for a teacher work day! Needless to say, I did not remember that there was no school and drove up in the parking lot. The lights were off. So my son got to spend the day with his aunt instead of going to school. He was thrilled! Always remember to check the calendar!

I am one of those that does not keep bananas that turn brown and if I do, I freeze them, only to never unfreeze them! But tonight, I pulled some brown bananas out of the refrigerator to make banana muffins and I could not decide- is there a major difference between rotten and overly ripe.
I know you want the overly ripe, but is there a time when it gets to be too much? I went ahead and made the muffins, but I cannot tell still if thy are actually good. it could be that the recipe was bad since I "adapted" it- I never make a recipe the way it says too.
I guess my husband will be the judge! And we may just throw them out!
