Rain is a product of nature we have become quite unfamiliar with, unfortunately. Most of Texas has been declared to be experiencing severe drought conditions. This is sad news and I admit I’ve forgotten how to use an umbrella. Last evening we, my man Dan, our daughter LuLu and her guy ventured out, even though […]
Last weekend my man Dan was in Las Vegas, sin city, to photograph the goings on at a convention for one of his clients. His take on L.V. is, “it’s like Disneyland on crack”. I don’t think he saw the light of day until he’d been there for three days and was forced to venture […]
We all have them from time to time; those worrisome events in our lives that turn life upside down or inside out. This week was upside down for me. I am a soft hearted animal lover and this week I’ve had a very sick kitty. Now I know human sickness is hard to deal with […]
The heat has returned to North Texas. It seems as though we might break that record after all for # of days with temps reaching 100 or higher. After all those wicked hot days we’ve had I said, “why not tack on a couple of more just to break the all time record!” Fall is […]
Staring at all this fresh, pure, local, and I do mean local, amber-colored, delectable honey sitting on my dining table for the last week inspired me to find a recipe that uses honey.

Gainor Inn is an early 20th century, German farmhouse sitting on 23 scenic hilltop acres in the gorgeous hill country. It has been lovingly restored by hosts Jerry and Laurie […]
I hope you will laugh with me over this one! I was clearly perplexed with the semi-failure of the ginger snaps in my post It’s A Snap. After posting the recipe, my mind kept going over the amount of flour I had listed and the amount I had used. I just kept going back over […]
This week I had some fresh asparagus staring out at me every time I opened the refrigerator door. I totally wanted to eat that asparagus but I also wanted to do something different with it. All week-long I was pondering those lovely green stalks. This weeks meals never lent themselves to the addition of asparagus […]

With our warmer weather, windy March days, blossoms bursting out all over the place, birds nesting, and bees buzzing I’ve been dreamin’ of lazy summer days. Not that I wish to pass over spring – I do not! Right now Miss T and I are on spring break from school. It’s just the precursor to […]
