SIMPLY STATED : NEVER DULL
A truly amazing thing has happened, it appears that the warm weather is finally here to stay for the season. This is not something I would have ever imagined my self saying, let alone being excited about it. I like cooler weather. I’ll tolerate the heat because some of my favorite places are where it’s […]

Read More Bowls full of happy pt. 2 – My take on Alton Brown’s Curry Chicken Pot PieIf I mention a bowl full of happy, more than likely I’m talking about pasta (or Lucky Charms, but for this post, I’m focusing on the pasta).

The taste was okay, but they were a bit dry. I’ll have to try it again sometime […]
Read More Lunch and other thingsComfort can be a lot of things to a lot of different people. Right now, to me, comfort is knowing that my mom is getting better.

Lunch time is a good time to pull something out of the freezer, if necessary, or run to the store, if desperate. Since moving into the new place, our goal is to eat at home as much as possible. […]
Read More Pastaparsley found in my garden last week – it blooms! I sat down tonight to package up some bracelets to ship out and started to work on some earrings.
