It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness….(I know there is more to this but this is as much as I can remember.) I think the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities could also describe the recovery period …

Fact Checking Fat Tuesday
It is funny. Before I write a blog, I try to research the topic to make sure I am being somewhat factual. (Nope, that isn’t the funny part.) I mean, just in case my blog comes up in someone’s search engine on a topic, I want to be considered a good resource. (Still not the …
Pesto from Another World
Winter in a small town is like being transported to another world. (I mean a new place not the soap opera, Another World, but that would be kind of cool to live in a pretend soap opera world.) There is a peacefulness because unless you have somewhere to go….you stay home. You get projects down …
Tinga-ling with Self Awareness
If I had to give a title to this winter, I think I would call it the Winter of Self-Awareness. (I’m not talking the naughty self-awareness that no one ever talks about.) I’m talking about looking into myself and being aware of some things I want to change. I’ve stayed home a lot due to …
New Year Resolutions
Happy New Year!!!!! Do you make resolutions? Do you need to drop a few pounds? Read more books? Stop swearing? (Damn, I should have thought of that one earlier.) Or are you already perfect? (I am always trying to live up to this standard….note…I said trying.) Alas, I know I am deeply flawed so I …
Giving Thanks for Leftovers
So Thanksgiving is OVER!!! Did you survive drama free or did you dream about taking a turkey leg and shoving it in someone’s pie hole? Did everyone get along or did you have to sedate yourself by drinking your sister in laws wine cooler when she wasn’t looking? Ours was very nice. (Thank you for …
Using My Noodle
Know what I hate? (Besides rainy days and Mondays, they always get me down.) Sticky noodles!!!! Have you ever had this problem? (By noodle I am talking about pasta/macaroni not some other kind of weird noodle you may have in mind.) The ol’ hubster (and his noodle) were gone somewhere last weekend and I was …
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 …
The V Word
Sometimes when you write a blog, you have to talk about uncomfortable subjects. I dread having to write these types of posts but alas it is just a subject I can’t avoid much longer. I’m talking about the “V” word. Sigh. I’m not sure why I have such a hard time saying it. It is …
Sandwich Acronyms
I was working in my garden this week trying to find the perfect tomato for a BLT. Okay, it was the ONLY tomato in my garden that was willing to sacrifice its life for my sandwich. (Mother Nature continues to play havoc on my garden this year.) As I plucked this bright red beauty from …
