Cooking Adventures

It’s not just me, right? I mean, I can’t be the only one who would decide to do something relatively simple for the big dinner, and have it cascade from there?  I just wanted some goat. Or lamb, but ideally goat.  I am planning to make gulyas for dinner. I’ve got beef, since Alma Boykin… Read More Cooking Adventures

To All the Veterans

They all went out, in service of their country. Some came home again.  They came home, and went back to work quietly, but we remember what they were willing to do on our behalf.  We remember, and are grateful for the men and women who marched until their feet bled, for our safety and comfort.… Read More To All the Veterans

The Cozy Book List

It’s been a while since I made a book list. There are reasons, one being that this isn’t a fast process. The other is that due to the algorithms of ‘social’ media, I can no longer toss out the question of ‘what do you like to read?’ and get more than a hundred enthusiastic responses.… Read More The Cozy Book List

Odd Prompts: Moon Rising

A bit of drabble here, might not expand on it, or perhaps they aren’t all human…  *** “You need a little extra there.”  The paunched man grunted and eyed the new guy. Guy was a misnomer. The boy was frankly larval, and about as attractive.  “I got this, now shove off.”  “But Skewer said to… Read More Odd Prompts: Moon Rising

Cozy Reads

It’s that season here in my neck of the woods. Leaves are falling and so are the temperatures. I’m inclined to dig out the fuzzy throw blankets and keep them handy for the moments where I have the actual time to curl up and read, with a mug of tea next to me.  Which got… Read More Cozy Reads

Hippos and Moose

And just what do those two have in common, you may wonder?  I’m so glad you asked.  One of the things Peter Grant has mentioned, when the topic of dangerous critters arose, is the sheer wrongheadedness of American Tourists in Africa. “You see,” he says, with a shake of his head, “they have seen the… Read More Hippos and Moose

Art Peregrinations

A bit under the weather today, but MidJourney rolled out V4, so I’ve been playing with it. This is a whole other level of AI art and as much as I have been doing? This is only getting better. So much fun. Honestly I could play with it like a game for hours. The story… Read More Art Peregrinations

Eat This While You Read That: Joelle Presby

 It’s rare I can time a ETWYRT post with a book launch, but The Debare Snake Launcher came out this week, and thanks to a timely author reminder, I have the recipe for you to enjoy while you read your fresh new book! The book opens with food, but not the stuff you’d willingly eat.… Read More Eat This While You Read That: Joelle Presby

Big Damn Heroes

I’ve been lucky enough in my life to have met some men and women I’d call heroes. All of them, to a soul, would reject that appellation. That’s part of the charm, to be honest. Self-aware heroics… aren’t.  They were, they will tell you if they are willing to talk about it at all, just… Read More Big Damn Heroes

An American Hero Needs Help

I’m going to get a ration for the title of the post, but I mean it, so…  Lawdog needs help, folks. He’s been backed into a corner by corruption and betrayal, and it costs money to fight that. If you can’t add money to the fund, you can share the word to help this man… Read More An American Hero Needs Help
