Yum Yum Give Me Some

This might be my new favorite way to find out what’s for dinner: Tasty Kitchen Go there… you can thank me later. I cooked two recipes from that site tonight. This and this. Both were delicious. Both were modified slightly by me but that’s just how it goes in my kitchen. I also sauteed up […]

Changing

This past weekend was an enjoyable one, considering the circumstances. Saturday was my mom’s memorial and the day could not have been more beautiful. The weather was amazing, especially for August. The guests were plentiful, the music good, the conversation even better, and the love and support that my mom’s friends and family members have […]

Mom – you’re free now. Fly high in your single engine Cessna. I love you.

Finding the words

Peaches for me

Time out

Warning – I get personal here. I’m one of those blog readers that rolls their eyes when someone blogs that they are taking an internet break. How on earth could updating a blog be so taxing? Well, sometimes it is and go ahead, roll your eyes at me because I would. For lots of reasons, […]

‘Cause I’m kind of popular like that

The lovely Janell over at MooneysMusings awarded me with the Kreativ Blogger award today. I suppose I’ll accept this award since I do consider myself creative… and I blog… so I suppose I’m qaulified. Oh, and I’m highly honored as Janell has been one of my favorite bloggers since I started blogging about my Etsy/Garden/Cooking […]
