| April 27, 2011

Sometimes you just need to take a break from everything for a few minutes and do something to refresh your mind, right?  I needed that break yesterday.

Our Daily Bread: 25 April ~ 05 May

| April 25, 2011

Boring and mundane?  Or, trusty tried and true?  That is the question.  Either way, the answer is meals that I know we like.  I’ve been feeling like my menus were stuck in a rut, so I was venturing out a little bit and trying some new recipes to mix things up a little around here. [...]

| April 18, 2011

The menu plan was pretty much a flop the second half of last week.  I had intended on getting to the store Thursday for the odds and ends ingredients I needed for various dishes, and, well, that didn’t happen for a myriad of reasons.  So, I may ‘borrow’ a couple of those dinners for this [...]

Frolicking Snakes

| April 16, 2011

I can honestly say this is the most snakes I’ve seen in one place ~ and what a delight it was!  It was beyond difficult to count these guys as they were furiously frolicking in the warm sunshine, but I think I counted 19 in this pile, plus the two big ones that slithered away [...]

Sometime last weekend, Darling Husbie came in and announced that I had some onions poking their green heads up in one of the boxes in the small square foot garden.  The square foot garden?  Oh, yeah!  That cute little fenced off area with the pretty flower bed in front of it ~ on the opposite [...]
