A long time ago around this time of year, I posted my best gravy recipe here. I recently mentioned on Twitter the crockpot stuffing recipe I've used the last few years and how much I like it. And then I promised it to someone, so I thought this was as good a place as any to post it :)

You've missed a few BWA HA HA moments in our house lately and I've been trying to remember to blog about things Unk said lately that made me go LOL. I had three "food conversations with Unk" I was going to share with you, but I can only remember 1. *sigh* The mind is the first thing to go ( Read more... )

Old BookCrossers may remember this chit-chat thread, which just took me about 20 minutes to find using the "new" search feature on BC. It took long enough that I decided to condense the BBB part because it entertained me, and I talk about it periodically.

As I was just looking at ( Read more... )

Just because I thought it'd be fun to record it, and I also may want to remember this for next year ( Read more... )

There is no way to take a good picture of ravioli in a cream sauce on a white plate with the camera on my phone, but suffice it to say that yesterday's lunch was gooooood. When I left the house for church, it was sunny and brisk. By the time I got to church, I was glad I'd left a coat in the backseat of the car the previous time I'd driven it, ( Read more... )

It's no secret I'm a sporadic blogger -- heck, just a quick click on the "archive" button will tell you that. So I have a slight dilemma. As I posted close to the beginning of the year, I'm doing once-a-week menu planning (and enjoying it! Me, Joe Disorganized!). So what's my dilemma? I don't have a food blog, although I've considered one ( Read more... )

I do, however, like the ideas of:

• Eating seasonally, locally, and on-salely foods
