Geesh, does time fly. I have been so busy keeping up with the chores outside I have had a hard time getting anything done inside like sitting down here and writing. First off we’re OK, we did not flood! Thank you so much for thinking of me! We ended up with 6 inches of rain which is […]

Yesterday I was feeling domestic. I took the day off from the soap shop and worked in between the house and garden all day. I did laundry that had been waiting for water, hung loads out to dry in the warm sunshine (My dryer has been unplugged almost a year now) and cleaned a house that has been […]

Soup Dejour
Sometimes I get in the mood for soup and it doesn’t matter if it’s hot or not. Luckily for us we have had some rain (1 1/2 inches) and a few dreary days to boot, which in my opinion is a wonderful time for soup. So I made a mess, threw together what I had […]

I have worked the last two years for our local Post Office, every Saturday with little time other than filling in for vacations and last week was my final week of work. I loved the job, but it didn’t pay well, no benefits, and no hours (I was only guaranteed 2) plus it got in the way of […]

It has been super humid here this past week, in the mid 90’s and my cooking has become non- existent with nothing but sweet corn, cold peas & couscous, salad, and beets filling in for so called supper. But today the humidity dropped and we feasted- which after a long hot week, was welcomed.
On the menu for this […]

The garden continues to grow and provide for us which makes me very happy and yet a bit sad because we are teetering right on the top of a downhill slide. Before we know it fall and then winter will be upon us and the excitement of new seed catalogs coming in the mail will […]

Where oh where does a week go? Between work, garden, and animals the week just flies by. We have managed to eat out of our garden for the most part this week- except for one night which husband thought I was killing him since we have had no meat in a week or so and added a […]

My first is always the best and this morning was no exception. I made an omelet from the chikkers with fresh green onions and basil from the garden, with a dab of fresh Minnesota Montrachet goat cheese and it was out of this world!
The basil made the whole omelet! I could live on it year round and I would […]

It’s been a busy week so far. Husbands two brothers have been home since last Friday and I have been packing them up to go on fishing trips with the other days wrapped around impromptu family gatherings and today is the last family gathering I have to attend! Don’t get me wrong, family is great but I love […]

I posted this Monday morning, but like everything else that ”was” my blog- it’s long gone. Here is the meal we had Sunday night for the start of One Local Summer, held by Liz and her pals.
T Bone Steak-Our half a beef we bought last fall that was raised a couple of miles from here.
Swiss Chard & Cilantro- […]
