My Daily Travels

The funny part of my having a wee bit of a sore throat this morning is that I wasn't even going to watch the football game since I'm not a real fan of either team that was playing, but I quickly got caught up watching the Seahawks defense in action after John switched the channel to the game.

No matter what I make for John, some form of hot sauce or peppers will find their way into his food. He knows what he loves and that is spicy food. I on the other hand prefer a lot less spice and a little more flavor enhancers that come from spices, herbs, vinegar, and sauces. I enjoy a good sub... Sign in to see full entry.

I purchased a colorful variety of bell peppers last week for the purpose of using them in a variety of dishes. I used one in the breakfast bowls I made a few days ago, one in my sausage, pepper, and onion hoagie, so the remaining peppers are getting stuffed today with a 50/50 blend of ground Italian...

When the mood strikes, which isn't very often, we head to Buffalo Wild Wings or Quaker Steak & Lube for wings. Years ago, I made homemade wings that turned out pretty good, so I am attempting to make them again today. John enjoys the atomic hot while I prefer the teriyaki, comfortably hot, or the...

There was a light dusting of snow this morning, accompanied by a deep chill in the air. Even the birds knew enough to stay in their warm nests rather than enjoy the buffet I provided for them at the feeders. It will reach 23 degrees today according to the weather reports, but the temperatures are... Sign in to see full entry.

I always forget how much John loves breakfast bowls until he asks me if I will make them. Last night, he made the request for them this morning. They are a fairly quick, easy, and filling meal. I include hashbrowns, sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, jalapeno peppers, and cheese in his. I leave the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's sunny with a high of 30 degrees expected this afternoon. Just perfect for a drive up the National Pike. I am anticipating a good day all the way around. There are several points of interest along the way, but today we are on the hunt for a new restaurant to try. I found a few good contenders,... Sign in to see full entry.

We normally take a drive up the mountain to Farmington, Pennsylvania for the scenic views and dinner on Tuesdays. Tomorrow, weather permitting will be no different. Damn that groundhog anyway! After researching some of the tourist favorites on the Allegheny Mountain Passage, we will be including a... Sign in to see full entry.

Seeing the sun shining brightly this morning gives me hope that the snow will begin melting. The blue skies are reassuring me that the day will bring no more snow. I have a few chores to get done, including laundry, shopping, and some meal prep for hubby's dinner request today, so I will begin by... Sign in to see full entry.

Walking outside this morning to feed the critters, I was hit with an arctic blast of freezing cold air. Our outdoor thermometer read -18 degrees. This is just not my jam. I prefer warm weather, sunshine, ocean waves, and rainbows. John shares my view 💯, but he works with a group of guys who thrive... Sign in to see full entry.
