It's Homegrown, Man

Tuesday, 18 August 2009 3:30 P GMT-05
One of the easiest things we have grown is garlic.  This years harvest looks like double last years harvest and I just finished last years harvest a couple weeks ago.  The bulbs this year are huge.  Larger than what you would buy in th

What? Are You Nuts?

Monday, 1 December 2008 10:08 P GMT-05
There I am, lying on the floor, stomach distended unnaturally from pounds of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green been casserole, and corn casserole.  I am physically unable to lift a forkful of pumpkin pie to my lips

One, Two, Cha Cha Cha

I think Labor Day has become my all time favorite holiday while living in Johnstown.  Starting Friday night until Monday night there are two awesome festivals in which to immerse your senses.  There is the Cambria City Ethnic Festival and t

The allergies struck with a vengeance on Monday.  You would think I would remember the warning signs from the previous years or at least that every Mother's Day I should have starting my allergy medications, but I don't.  Maybe it&

F the Beach

Monday, 14 April 2008 1:27 P GMT-05
I have found a new vacation wonderland.  The desert southwest.  Maybe it's the novelty of something new but this was paradise.  Warm and dry without all that sticky humidity.  If we wanted wet, the hotel had a pool. 

The Quest Continues

Saturday, 22 March 2008 6:48 P GMT-05
We woke up at seven this morning and after looking over the sixty new channels Honey traded for Showtime, we have come to the conclusion that there still isn't anything to watch on TV.  I convinced Honey to brave the elements and try a new p

It's Official

I'm retired.  Well, at least from the orange apron.  Now all my former co-workers are lining up to have me come make their houses pretty.  I have already put in 20 hours at Diane's house.  Her hubby likes to do home improv

Pesto and the Bread Machine

Tuesday, 4 March 2008 5:52 P GMT-05
A new musical group?  Nope, just a couple of things you can make with stuff from your garden.  Yes, I know the garden is dead and under the remnants of a foot of snow.  This is Pesto you would have made in the summer when your basil wa

Who Loves You Best?

Friday, 15 February 2008 4:44 P GMT-05
Nothing says I love you best than a string of Shrimp "hearts" for Valentines Day. Use two skewers for each string of hearts.  I used 26/30 sized shrimp, raw and peeled.  Two shrimp per heart.  Each facing one another.  I

Why I Don't Read Horoscopes

Monday, 11 February 2008 3:46 P GMT-05
On my Saturday trip to the Evil Walmart, they had three crates of perfectly ripened Haas avocados marked down to something ridiculous like 69¢.  How can you pass something like that up?  I grabbed two, a lemon, and a bag of tortilla ch

To Resolve, Or Not To Resolve

Tuesday, 8 January 2008 6:35 P GMT-05
That is the question.  Especially at this time of year.  This is also the time you find the best and worst of . . . lists.  And everyone seems to be in that "out with the old, in with the new" kind of mood.For some reason Hon

Serves Me Right

Sunday, 25 November 2007 4:27 P GMT-05
In an effort to avoid last years temper tantrum over giblets in stuffing, I rushed home from work on Wednesday to PREpare my contributions to the Thanksgiving dinner that we would be assembling up at Honey's Dad's house.  Honey volunteer

and other Sunday appropriate thoughts, activities, and conversations.Ah yes, it's Sunday morning, 7:15am.  Ooops, make that 6:15am.  We forgot to set the clocks back before we fell asleep.  Honey checks his e-mail and discovers &qu

On The Cutting Edge Of Cool

Saturday, 13 October 2007 9:35 A GMT-05
Last weekend Honey and I went to our friends house for a bonfire.  We stood around in our shorts and T-shirts eating hot dogs, drinking beer, and talking with friends.  Out of the twenty people who had gathered, half were in shorts and tees

The Party Animals

Saturday, 29 September 2007 10:28 A GMT-05
I don't know why I got all panicked over my grandson's birthday or more specifically shopping for him.  Twenty twenty hindsight seems to turn off in certain situations and small children's birthday present shopping just happens to be

Tomato Mania

Thursday, 6 September 2007 5:45 P GMT-05
Honey's seven foot tall tomato plants have been producing these two hand sized tomatoes.  He bought 3 varieties of tomato this year.  Two of the varieties are heirloom tomatoes.  He first started planting Ox Hearts about three year

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Wednesday, 29 August 2007 2:47 P GMT-05
We are puttering along enjoying the summer when all of a sudden IT'S AUGUST!  Like it snuck up on us and we didn't even see it coming.  I had a moment of profound sadness as I wailed, "Oh my God!  It's going to start s

Try The Weed, Man!

Wednesday, 6 June 2007 12:39 P GMT-05
Yesterday was cool and overcast.  What a shame.  No painting.  But that's OK, I was sizing up my herbs and dreaming of all the wonderful things to be cooked from them.  This year it appears we are going to have a bumper crop o

Organic Dirt

Sunday, 20 May 2007 1:23 P GMT-05
Spring has got to be my all time favorite time of the year. After being stuck inside for the better part of five months looking out the windows at the dead snow covered earth, I could just burst out of my skin. Not unlike the bulbs, leaves, and sprin

Orlando, Part Deux

Thursday, 22 March 2007 1:24 P GMT-05
That's right, it's French!  To normal people it would be said and sound like "Dew".  To the Pennsylvania French that's "Ducks".  Today we are finishing up Orlando or really Kissimmee, these are the

And The Winner Is . . .

Tuesday, 10 October 2006 3:34 P GMT-05
I've really been lagging in the blog entries lately.  I seem to have adjusted to the new work hours which give me afternoons to explore cooking experiments and weekends to explore Honey.  Um, or at least to do some exploring with Honey.&NBS

The Spice of Life

Tuesday, 3 October 2006 6:28 P GMT-05
Sometimes I look at my entries and think, "She's really manic-depressive."  One entry is all happy and upbeat and the next is angry and depressing.  The doctors never diagnosed me with bi-polar disorder, just boring run of the mil

I Found It!

Tuesday, 19 September 2006 6:34 P GMT-05
This past weekend Honey and I went to Pittsburgh to shop in the Strip District.  The Strip District is located along the Allegheny River where the trains unload the fresh produce to be distributed to area markets.  There are several streets
