Our dear friend V-dub sent this recipe to me ~ she knows I am married to a man who loves his treats…and, she’s got one, too. We’d given V-dub and her treat-lovin’ man a baseball-size zucchini from the summer’s garden during our visit in November. This recipe is how she used some of that zucchini. [...]

Since I began dabbling in quilting and sewing, along with my slowly increasing fabric stash, my thread stash has also been increasing. I’ve been wanting a proper way to store the spools, as opposed to having them all thrown into a plastic bag. I glanced around the craft stores and saw a couple varieties ~ [...]

Little Big Brother had a birthday Saturday. He turned 19 years old ~ his last year as a teenager. As every mother probably does, I’m sitting here looking back and wondering how the years could have possibly gone by so quickly. I promised myself I would not get all teary-eyed and emotional ~ at least [...]

I didn’t do any baking of desserts last week. Darling Husbie came home from work and announced that he is participating in a rather competitive weight loss challenge amongst co-workers. Therefore, I felt it my duty to support him in his efforts ~ immediately cutting out ice cream, soda, coffee creamer, cakes, cookies, pies…he did [...]

I was looking through the SD card for the camera, and I spotted these photos of some of the green chilies we grew last summer. By the time stamp, I see that I fully intended to share these with you back in August. Better late than never, yes? No. Not really. I need to get [...]

Before I get into this week’s menu, I have to report that I did uphold my promise to bake Darling Husbie his Cherry Pie last week. Granted, it wasn’t until yesterday, but that still counts as last week! I never would have thought making a cherry pie completely from scratch could have been so easy [...]

Nobody likes me; everybody hates me. I’m goin’ down the garden to eat worms. Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones. Oh, how they wiggle and squirm. I write things off the top of my head, and try to think of clever things to say. Nobody knows how sad I grow, when there’s not [...]

Hello, my name is Farmer J, and I’m addicted ~ to Rust-Oleum Hammered paint…particularly Dark Bronze. Seriously. Not only is it a great choice because of its distinctive ability to hide flaws and imperfections, which is very important since I couldn’t spray paint to save my life, but it definitely has its place here around [...]
