It is New Year’s Eve 2020 and I have not written a blog in a very long time. This has been a year of challenges. I’ve had so much to say and so little to say if that makes any sense. On my walks, I started to think of summarizing the year in a blog and kept …

It’s Not That Easy…
“It’s not that easy bein’ greenHaving to spend each day the color of the leavesWhen I think it could be nicer bein’ red or yellow or goldOr something much more colorful like that It’s not easy bein’ greenIt seems you blend in with so many other ordinary thingsAnd people tend to pass you over ’cause …
SOS (Save Our Sandwich)
Stupid…..stupid…stupid..stupid. This is what I was saying on Friday night. We were going to have weekend company and I thought I would try something new for dinner. Nooooooo!!! You are NEVER supposed to do that! What happens if it doesn’t turn out? What happens if it is overcooked? Now a normal person would not go …
It’s a Miracle
I’m fine but I’m whipped. I am so lucky that I have friends who care so much about me that they realize I’m sick when my blog and Facebook posts decrease. So, because I can’t keep up with the emails/messages….my Crohn’s is having a bit of a flare right now and decided to bring along …
Urban Accents Simmer Sauces-Your Culinary Wingman
Do you have a wingman (or wing person)? You know that person who helps you out when you just can’t do it on your own. It can be a guy in a bar who enchants women for his shy pal. It can be that person who helps you with your kids when you go to …
Saturday Night Special
The other day on Felt Like a Foodie I kind of joked around about strippers. I meant no offense. We all know that it isn’t a job for everyone and I shouldn’t judge anyone. (Unless your parents gave you a name like Candy Cane, Cinnamon or Sunshine, you really didn’t have a choice.) I do …
It’s My Pantry and I’ll Sigh If I Want To
Power is a dangerous thing. It can make a person crazy, wild and vicious. It can make you do irrational things and sometimes make poor decisions. It can be like an evil villain depending on who has it. (I am not speaking of myself…never.) It also can be wielded nicely. (This is me.) It can …
Reincarnation of Ravioli with Lobster Sauce
Do you ever have moments in your life where you are sure that you have been reincarnated? (Yep, I’m still on pain meds!) Were you a pioneer who crossed the plains in a covered wagon? Maybe you were a caveman who used to work in a quarry? (Or did that only happen on the Flintstones?) …
Am I Blue Pasta
Am I blue, am I blue Ain’t these tears in my eyes telling you Am I blue, you’d be too If each plan with your in-laws done fell through Was a time I was their only one But now I’m the sad and lonely one, lonely Was I happy till today Now they’re gone and …
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 …
