    Our pets

    Update on our Harley. We have used Chewy to purchase food, treats, etc. from them. Couldn't say enough good things about them. So...today when arrived home from our weekly grocery shopping trip, there was a FedEx box with our name on it. What was it? It was a bouquet of a dozen fresh roses...

    Our pets

    Well, sadly...our sweet Harley went over the rainbow bridge this morning. We rescued her from our local shelter when she was just a pup. She was on death row there because the shelter was ultra-full. She had a week, then...it was the green mile. We had recently lost our dog, Sadie, of many...

    What's your weather right now? 2024 Edition

    Well, we're truly into a typical spring for our area. Hot, hot, warm, cold, rain, wind. Choose one from the menu. However, we also have to be cognizant of heavy storms/tornadoes, which is why we have had a tornado watch for the major portion of our afternoon. There have been some touchdowns...

    St. Patrick's Day dinner - 17th March 2024

    Regular St. Patrick's Day of roasted corned beef and cabbage, along with mashed potatoes and the last of the raspberry-coconut cake. Okey, dokey...we'll be fine.

    Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

    Have Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman on my audio player. "Scout" is in her mid-20s and has returned home to visit her ailing father, Atticus. I've just begun the book and I think I'm going to enjoy it.

    Good cooks in family?

    My mother was a good "basic" cook but wasn't interested in doing anything adventurous in the kitchen. I ended up taking over (yucky family issues) when I was about 8-years-old and have never looked back. Love to cook and will try darned near anything. What an adventure!!

    What have you had for breakfast lately?

    Today's fare was browned sausage patties, soft scrambled eggs, cinnamon-raisin English muffins, orange juice and coffee. Needless to say, we left the table satisfied.

    What's the last movie you watched?

    This afternoon Glenn and I watched a 1997 Robert Urich movie entitled Final Descent. The beginning was a bit slow, but by the time it took off (pun intended) we were fully hooked.

    Do you prefer to follow recipes or do you prefer to improvise?

    If it's a new recipe, I usually follow it to the letter and, if I find it necessary, I tweak it and put my own spin on it. More often than not, I do make changes.

    What's the last movie you watched?

    Last night Glenn and I watched 13 Minutes. It was the story of a tornado hitting the heartland of our country and couldn't have been closer to the one that hit here 2 years go. Whoa!

    What do you drive?

    My horsie is a 2001 Lincoln Cartier L and I love it. The "L" indicates the car is about 8 inches longer than any of the other Lincolns. The back seat is fabulous. My husband just got a Nissan Frontier and he is very pleased with it.

    What inspire you to do baking?

    I have no degree or such, but many years of experience. I am 70+ and have been making most of our bread products for that time.

    Those little things that your mum or dad used to do?

    My mother was relatively good basic cook, as long as she had a written recipe. Nothing notable because she had some food quirks. Such as corn HAS to be yellow and beans, cut, are green. There are more but I don't remember. One thing I do recall vividly is when she cooked a steak, it was so...

    What all is in your freezer(s)?

    Since we were gifted for Christmas by Glenn's children with a full quarter of beef, we have no need for any beef. I've only put a dent in the almost 30 pounds of ground beef. Whoa! Not to say all the packages of hamburger patties. Then there all the roasts and steaks. Probably won't have...

    December 10 - Whatcha eatin'?

    Cold as crap here, at least for our area, so I have a nice big pot of oxtail soup simmering. Beginning to smell yummy! What is everyone else having?

    Tips, hints and tricks to share with our members

    I've been having some serious health issues since October 1st and cooking has been a challenge to say the least. Flatlined twice on that day and it's been a long road back. So, having said that, today I put 4 containers of cooked ground beef in the freezer. Each pound was browned with 1/2...

    Complete Kitchen Reno - advice?

    My first and, in my opinion, is to pay attention to lighting sources. NO LIGHT behind your back. Worst thing ever. I've been having that challenge with our current kitchen and doesn't appear to have a solution without ripping the kitchen to shreds. We're not at the age or $$ where that is...

    Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

    That will work. Lots of things to find...many with tons of their original tags and stickers on them. Oops, am I repeating myself? Still true! Love it. Where you can get a Donna Karan blouse for $3.99, tags included?
