I’m still not quite feeling totally normal but the good news is that I finished my monthly workload a week early so I have the days free until March 1 when my March workload will drop.

Kenny got the fever Wednesday. I got the fever Thursday. Darren got it Friday. Ed came home Friday evening with it. Vincent is hiding in the closet and won’t come out. Can’t say I blame him. This totally bites the big one. I have no choice but to work today and while I’m out I […]

We’ve got a crisis
February 16th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Cooking, Family
This is my secret weapon. This is the secret to my great cooking and even when I tell my kids that they’re “tasting the love I added”, well 9 times out of 10 it’s really this. And that’s where the crisis comes in. I’m almost out of bacon grease. I usually cook up three pounds […]

No hay reglas

There are no rules. This is the direction my wonderful stepmom has put me during my quest to learn how to create a few of the wonderful mexican dishes she makes.

Waves of snow
February 11th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Life on the farm, Uncategorized
We were recently treated to two solid days of snow falling and temps well below zero. Â It wasn’t fun. But it was pretty! We’d been snowbound for a couple of days, including Ed, because of the 2′ of snow on the driveway. We were all snug in the warm house but when I told Ed […]
