Hey All- just a "by the way"... although it might be hard to see clearly, my new avatar shows myself with 3 co-workers a long time back posing in the hotel lobby w/ cajun food personality Justin Wilson. He was a hoot- remember him? (In case you don't recognize me, I'm the one in the back on the...

said something really stupid and callous to a friend. It hurt her and I was really wrong to say it. I was in an annoyed mood- I was caught at a bad, bad moment and what I said reflected that. No excuses- I was pretty ugly- and really wrong for it. I'm making a blackberry-jam bundt cake and a...

This is one of those topics totally unrelated to food that the "chatter" topic was invented for! :) I respect folks of all faith- and those who choose no faith... I certainly don't fear or run from those with different belief traditions! If you're kind, friendly and lovable- I love you...

You haven't gotten groceries yet and your fridge and pantry are low on goodies- yet you need to make a meal. So, you piece together a haphazard dish or menu from a bit of this and that. You don't have all the exact proper ingredients- so you improvise. And sometimes you're lucky enough to come...

Does anyone have any experience w/self-publishing? Or any kind of publishing, in general? I have finally a completed cookbook project. And considering the next step- the prospect of maneuvering into the tricky maze before me seems as daunting a prospect as writing the book was in the first...

Wednesday, 1/6 Mom and I made simmered round steak w/ mushroom gravy, smashed red-skinned spuds, buttered deep-green peas, cloverleaf rolls and had keylime yogurt & oatmeal cookies later for dessert while watching tv.
