I have not written a post for over a week. I have to admit, I haven’t written because I’ve been kind of angry. I don’t feel well….again. It is rare that I have a pity party that lasts more than a day but this one I’ve had trouble shaking. Just as my energy started to …

Red Gold Summer Grilling Giveaway
My tomatoes are not doing well this year. They are getting too much rain. So instead of having my usual bounty of July tomatoes, I have very tall green plants. The only thing red in my garden right now is my watering can! So when Red Gold Tomatoes and Laura’s Lean Beef (Laura’s Lean Beef …
Know Your Food, Support Your Farmers
Most of my reader’s know that I rarely if ever write up a post BEFORE an event happens. I usually like to write from my personal experience and go from there. (Let’s face it…I’m a story teller not a reporter.) So after I wrote the piece about Chef Sarah Stegner earlier this week, I felt …
Prairie Grass Cafe & Chef Sarah Stegner
Ooooo. Aaaaahhhh. OOOOooo. Aaaaah. Did you make a lot of those sounds this weekend as you watched fireworks? I love Ooooo and Aaaaahhh moments. They are moments that not only light up your eyes but they light up your heart. I had an Ooooo/Aaahhhh moment last week that had nothing to do with fireworks but …
Time to Ketchup
Helllllooo July! I can’t believe you are here are here already. I haven’t had a chance to picnic or go to the beach. I haven’t gotten one tomato out of the garden and I’ve only worn shorts a couple of times. My patio furniture is still in storage and my hammock is all rolled up. …

“Talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old Sometimes I’d like to quit Nothin’ ever seems to fit Hangin’ around Nothin’ to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down” I have never felt more like singing this song by The Carpenters than today. The day started like a usual workday for us. He …
Ty Cobb Salad?
My husband and I did something the other day that we haven’t done for a loooooong time. It is stereotypically something guys want to do more than girls but this time I was pushing for it. The interesting thing is that he only wanted to do it if we had another couple involved. Since I …
Take a Dip in My Garden
I’ve been growing a vegetable garden for the last few years. It has been fun walking around the house to grab a tomato or a zucchini. (I didn’t venture much further than those items.) This year I wanted to expand the garden and grow everything from seed. (Previous years, I bought little plants.) It was …
Foodie Fun Day: Sullivan’s Steakhouse
When do you have the urge to go to a steakhouse? Do you like to take your sweetie on your anniversary? Or maybe they are your go-to place for birthdays? Do you only consider going to a steakhouse on a special occasion? Or maybe you only go for dinner? I have a new theory. Isn’t …
It is getting so hot….
There were some steamy days this week. It was so hot that I saw a bee take off his yellow jacket. It was so hot that I bought bread at the store and when I got home it was toast. It was so hot the debt ceiling needed a fan. There are good things to …
