It is May – right? I thought so, however our warm, spring like weather has turned unseasonably cold and wet. Temperatures the last two days have been in the 40’s and that is just not like May in Texas. We desperately needed the rain, the water companies have already mailed out their water rationing dates, […]
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 […]
Check out the “Ponderings” page for some cool photos I took yesterday afternoon. It’s so beautiful outdoors that it’s hard to slave over a hot stove to bring you new food creations.

When I left the chiropractor today he smiled and said, “I’ll always think of you as the bee lady”. “Okey dokey! I’m good with that”, I replied, pleased that he tacked lady on the end. Thinking okey dokey made me think of those kinds of sayings. Like zig-zag, heebie-jeebie, nitty-gritty, bee-knees, (couldn’t leave out that […]
Today I had a few extra minutes. Well, I never truly have a few extra minutes. Today I decided to make free time and bake some chocolate chip cookies. I have been lazy about baking sweets to enjoy. No, I’ve really been too busy to bake. Yes, that’s it – I’ve not made time to […]
