Fall Fermenting With Pictures!
I purchased Sandor Katz’s The Art of Fermentation and I have fallen in love with fermenting everything. Well, I have stopped at fermenting the dogs. Pickles, relish, I’ve even started doing naturally fermented root beers…have I mentioned that I love fermented stuff? Oh, I see I have. I just looked back over my … Continue reading
Thunder Porch
I’ll need to take a few minutes out of my day today to tidy up our screen porch. Thunderstorms are predicted to come Friday night. And the screen porch is our favorite viewing spot. Okay, truth be told it is my favorite spot. Others in the family leave the safety of the porch for better … Continue reading

Green
The theme this week is Green. I know, first glance, even I have stretched the concept too far. But I’ve had a piece, an article, an opinion, to unload for nearly a week now.

Supper Bowl
It was great wasn’t it?! And the commercials were pretty cute too, well some were. My favorites? The Doritoes commercials, both, got great laughs, and the Budwieser light home improvement one was hilarious. The beattle bug introducing the new Beatle Bug was good. I hate Pepsi, and diet pop to boot, but I have to hand … Continue reading

New Yorkers, who before had not been much for neighborly meals, were talking strongly about how they were finding themselves looking … Continue reading
