That rather ridiculous Clinton-has-a-seizure video....
One of my sons has epilepsy. He's an adult now, so I try (and fail) to step back and let him and his doctors take care of things, because, well, he's an adult and he has to learn to manage his condition just like he has to learn to do a thousand other things adults do. But along the way I've learned some things about epilepsy and seizures. So when ( Read more... ) -
Arrows
I think everyone has seen the Great Seal of the United States, the one with the bald eagle with the shield on its chest, if for no other reason than that Hollywood loves using as shorthand for "the people you are about to see work for the US government". And many people will have noticed that among the many symbols on the seal, the eagle clutches ( Read more... ) -
60N: Shoo-fly pie
A regional specialty from my old stomping grounds. Also Kenneth's favorite pie, and possibly favorite dessert, in the known Universe. This makes a proper, wet-bottomed shoo-fly pie.

To Connecticut, from Oslo
I know how you feel. I wish neither of us knew that, but we do. And I'm very sorry. Nothing anyone can do or say will help at this point. But perhaps your road ahead will be easier if you know what's coming. If I could hug all of you and give you some advice, this is what I would say.
Take care of one another. It won't make anything better, but it ( Read more... ) -

Flodfood: Baked beef taquitos
Not authentic, but healthier and GOOD. This is as much a process as a recipe - you can make them with beans, or chicken, or whatever you like in place of the ground beef.

Flodfood: Hamburger Roll-Ups
A comfort food from my childhood. My mother would heat up a can of cream of celery (or sometimes cream of mushroom) soup to pour over these, but they're good with gravy or even ketchup - or just as they are. This was originally a 1970s, stretch-out-the-meat sort of recipe from the back of the Bisquik box, adjusted for what is easily available in ( Read more... ) -
Flodfood: Chicken with Mustard-Cream Sauce
Recipe from the Pioneer Woman website
I'm serving it with couscous (cooked in chicken broth for a little extra flavor), salad, and steamed carrots.
