Betcha all thought I’d fallen off a cliff somewhere, didn’t you? Well, all 2 of you who are still reading here, anyway! The truth is, I didn’t fall off a cliff or otherwise become totally incapacitated. I just got caught up in life. Work, family, relationships … all kinds of things overwhelmed me this summer [...]

No links today … just a wish for Happy Holidays from my home to yours. I’ll be back after Jan 1st. PS – The Christmas Eve prime rib was wonderful – thanks to Steamy Kitchen’s prime rib recipe!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating, today. I hope your day was filled with fun, family, and food! (Thanksgiving recipes coming, really, truly, I promise!)

I also picked up some goat cheese from a local dairy – Cole’s Lake Diary. (They don’t have a website, unfortunately, but there’s more information about [...]

Yes, I know I’ve been absent from blogging for a while. All of my blogs have suffered as I’ve been dealing with about 3 weeks worth of … stuff … that has happened in my life. Some of it is resolved, some of it is being resolved, and some of it is currently in limbo [...]

No farmer’s market today, unfortunately. I got up a little late this morning, and I think the late morning hour (after 11) and the gloomy weather had driven off most people.
