I Broke Out the Crockpot This Morning to Make a Batch of Homemade Soup

John normally gravitates towards soups that include some sort of meat, but recent dental issues have forced him to forgo meat and lean towards softer soups, which are my favorites. I talked him into trying some cauliflower soup for the health benefits, as well as the creamy base of the soup that is... Sign in to see full entry.

It is the Perfect Day For Eating Outdoors

Our oldest daughter and her wife will be joining us this afternoon for an enchilada dinner that will come complete with all of the fixings and a side of Spanish rice. Since it is such a beautiful autumn day I will be serving our dinner outdoors at our picnic table on the patio. I figure that we... Sign in to see full entry.

Some People Are Seriously Lacking in Common Sense

There have been several reports from concerned residents in Kiski Township, Pennsylvania regarding alligator sightings. They are not native to this area due to the extreme winters, but one guy didn't see that as being a big issue. I mean, who in their right mind would think that raising alligators...

It's Chilly Today, So I Am Preparing a Very Overdue Request for Dinner

We had an abundance of peppers this year, which I use in many recipes. We have four good sized green bell peppers that will be perfect for stuffing.

This is the Best Day Ever Even Though It's Not Good for Getting Things Done

I am a self-proclaimed Food Network junkie, especially on Sunday mornings. From the Girl Meets Farm to the Pioneer Woman, Delicious Miss Brown, Valerie Bertinell, and my all-time favorite, Mary Makes it Easy with Canadian chef Mary Berg who never fails to cook up something delicious; it is my idea...

Decisions, Decisions...Too Many Delicious Choices to Choose From...

I normally choose some sort of seafood for my dinner on Friday, which usually consists of a beer-battered fish platter of some sort or a bowl of crab soup loaded with plenty of lump crab, and even though John will tolerate a fish sandwich if it is doused with hot sauce, it is not his preference, so...

Pleasant Surprises Can Happen When We Least Expect Them

While visiting our favorite restaurant a few days ago, John and I were treated to a lovely visit from the local wildlife as we were exiting the front door of the Cracker Barrel. These guys were cool, calm, and collected, and they were apparently up to being photographed without complaint. Sign in to see full entry.

Not A Fun Morning, But It Was At Least a Productive One

I usually watch the Food Network on Wednesday mornings simply because I enjoy learning about Jewish, Chinese, and Midwestern food that Molly Yeh makes on her Girl Meets Farm cooking show. Due to helping John trim our overgrown Japanese Maple along with making a new trail through our back flower bed... Sign in to see full entry.
