I’m craving carbs, here.   I’m usually meh about carbs, but last night I made a  loaf of whole grain/oatmeal/flax meal bread and today I’m researching potato recipes.  I have a compulsion to make sausage/potato/chard soup and parsley potatoes today and I’m not sure why. Unless—could it be?  Is my subconscious talking to my conscious [...]

This is week two of having a huge box of organic vegies and fruits delivered each Thursday.  I'm liking the challenge of figuring out how to use the stuff I don't usually get. Last week was chard.   This week, it's beets. I love beets that come in a can, but I've never had any with [...]

I just discovered Swiss Chard.   At first, I didn't know what to do with it, until a 1963 cookbook instructed me to cook Swiss chard like spinach.  Spinach, I can cook.  So, here's what I did to my first batch of chard.  (True confession.  On my first attempt, I tried making chard chips, first.  Yuck!)

Off the Vine was advertising their new-ish delivery in my area of organic fruits [...]

 Check out the title of this post.  Yes, I love alliteration. The four people Goodreads choose to receive copies of The Baby Who Saved Dr. Cynical are Randy in the U.S.; Suzette in the Phillipines; Gail in Canada; Marcelle in the U.S I'm popping those copies in the mail today. I made up a Goodreads quiz to celebrate. (This [...]

I couldn't  have made it through childhood or adolescence without books. My mind would have imploded and I would have died of boredom-driven insanity. I am positive of it. So understand how hard it is for me to wrap my brain around the concept that some people don't read, don't have books of their own, [...]

I turned in my final, final edits for my August book a few weeks before Christmas. So, during the holidays, I could enjoy all the hustle and bustle our family is famous for. I promised myself time off until Jan 2.  The break was just long enough that by the day after New Years I [...]
