A favorite re-run…one of my first blog posts. Interesting to see how my style has changed since last October….. ******************** Obviously, I do a lot of cooking. With the first signs of Fall hitting last week, that interest turns to baking and candy making, gearing up for all of the parties, feasts, gift giving. Snacks […]
This past weekend was opening season for dove hunting in Texas. So begins 6 months of nearly continuous hunting seasons open in the state. It starts with dove season, and only a brief break in November will divide it with whitetail season. So what, you may ask? I’ll tell you so what. Hunting season in […]
Today is my husband’s birthday. Forty four years ago today, his mother was having her own Labor Day, of sorts. On his birthday, as I celebrate with him, I also pause to remember how we met, why we married each other, and how we stay together. It isn’t something we take for granted, and we […]
Soooooo, I see some pretty weird search strings that lead people to my blog periodically. I thought it would be fun to list some of them….Check out my new page “Why Are You Here?” located in the upper right corner….
Hello! If you are linking to this page from Griffin’s Grub, don’t run off yet….There is another “Breakfast on the BBQ” recipe at the end of this post–a cinnamon roll cooked on the grill–and you can’t see it anywhere but here! I think. ***************************** Well, Y’all, I am doing it. Breaking a vow. I told […]
Funny what you remember, sometimes. I can’t tell you what I had for breakfast two days ago, but I remember, verbatim, the audio tapes we used to listen to in high school French class. “Où est Phillipe?” “A la piscine.” “Avec Luc?” “No. Avec Anne.” “Où est Sylvie?” “À la bibliothèque.” So, in case you missed […]
One of the things I have loved most about being a parent, and missed most as my babies got older, is the toddler vocabulary. Both of my kids called cupcakes “pupcakes”. Spaghetti was “sketti” and “passketti”. That thing you eat in the morning? Breaktess, or brefftess, depending on whose kid was eating it. And it […]
I am old. I will be 45 in September. I don’t really feel old, and I don’t think I look old, but I have long suspected that I must be old. Cashiers sell me booze without blinking, and everyone calls me ma’am. But any doubt that I was aging died a few weeks ago, when […]
Getting creamed is usually not a good thing. In sports, it would mean you lose. Badly. Not a close game. And possibly the game is called early, due to the ten run rule. OUCH! In the South, and if you are a vegetable, getting creamed is good. Very good. You see, in the South, if […]
Since back-to-school time is quickly approaching, I thought I would dedicate a post to it. I am going to discuss cheap and easy foods for college students and others on a tight budget, and with limited kitchen access…..There will be ramen noodles. And meat that comes from a can. My friends and readers in the […]
