We had some sweet potatoes left from our weekly produce delivery and I decided I wanted to make Sweet Potato Chicken Curry. So, I found a recipe that looked good from some of the ones I've saved over the years, picked up the ingredients I needed for it and then went to make it for dinner the other night.

Of course, it was only later that we realized we had absolutely no plans in place for ( Read more... )

...which, I'll warn you, is fairly boring. Ran out to our old neighborhood this morning for my weekly walk with taradaktyl and her dog, Toby. This was a bit tricky, since we're finally getting some of that rain for which we're so famous... and it was actually, at times, pretty heavy. Of course we didn't bring any umbrellas with us (umbrellas, shumbrellas ( Read more... )

I found my copy of this recipe recently (as dictated to me by my grandma) and I was going to title it "My Grandma's Banana Pudding" but I'm pretty sure it's the same recipe everyone's grandmas used (since I think it originally came from the back of a Nilla Wafers box ( Read more... )

By popular demand, I managed to secure a copy of the recipe from tomte as well as her permission to post it.
