Small Potatoes. Do you ever feel like your life is small potatoes compared to the bigger picture? I’ve been trying to write a post for the past couple of weeks and all I do is delete what I type because I feel like it is such a tiny view in world that seems so large. My first …

The Controversy and Making Chili
I have a confession to make. It is a little bit controversial so I was concerned if I should bring it up on this kind of venue. It seems you say one wrong things these days and next thing you are you are banned from society. It is like people aren’t allowed to have an opinion or debate …
If Loving Carbonara is Wrong…I Don’t Wanna Be Right
There is one thing that writing Felt Like a Foodie has taught me over the years….no…it has nothing to do with food…..it has to do with the fact that I am wrong….a lot. Every time I start to think about a particular blog, I look up words for inspiration and to make sure I am …
It’s My Kitchen….
Do you ever get a case of the grumpies? You grumble, mumble and lash out. You can’t be cheered up no matter what anyone says or does. You may even start to react violently and fling scrambled eggs across the room. (What kind of lunatic does that…um…thanks for cleaning mine up, Honey.) I had a …
Tomato Jam in a BLT World
I can’t believe Labor Day is over. OVER!!!!!!!! Did you barbeque or spend some time outside? Did you just enjoy the extra day off in your workweek? We’ve done the same thing for the past seventeen years…..we celebrate our anniversary. There are some years we go away and others we just go out for a …
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 …
Now Playing in My Kitchen: Big Fork and Pasta
My brain seems a little frazzled right now. I’ve eaten a lot of really great food these last couple of weeks and now I am trying to get back into the swing of my own kitchen. I keep waiting for someone to present me with a menu, put it on a small plate and do …
A Writer’s Bacon Block
I’ve got writer’s block. I keep sitting at my computer and I type a few paragraphs, reread it and then delete. It seems relevant as I type but then I hear a little singsong voice in my head going “booooring.” (I really hate that voice.) I think the reason I’m mentally obstructed is that I …
My First Festivus
Are you happy that the holidays are over? I am. To put it mildly, I was a super sourpuss this year. Was it because I was naughty and I knew Santa would be skipping my chimney this year? Noooo. Was it because I have Scrooge genes coursing through my blood? Noooo. (Okay, there is a …
Livin’ the Dream: Bacon Rice Krispie Treats
2:34. 2:34? 2:34! Why the heck did I wake up at 2:34?! Now according to my husband, I was not fully awake. I would have to agree. I remember lifting my head, looking at the clock and plopping my head back on my pillow. I know I didn’t fully go to sleep for a few …
