Smoky Chicken Tortilla Soup
2007-05-01 02:24:00 This past weekend was warm, summerlike and slightly hazy. Today, however, was more April-like, cooler with some wind and rain began to fall in the afternoon which was really good; we’re awfully dry here in MN. I love how the rain smells on the ground, so fresh and intoxicating. I have finished clearing out my ... More About: Soup , Chicken
Veggie Burgers?.also known as Delicious!
2007-04-28 15:17:00 AND they’re made of meat!!! Huh? I’m sure that someone will have sufficient evidence claiming that they have a perfect recipe for a non-meat ‘veggie’ burger that is delicious. Bring it on, I say. I love a good burger, but it’s got to have some ‘POW’ to it; I can’t just take any ol’ hunk of decimated ... More About: Burger , Know , Burgers , Delicious , Deli
WCB- Best Buddies
2007-04-28 14:32:00 Lately, it seems the cats can’t get enough of hanging out together, snuggling and being buddies. This was the cutest scene: one on the table and the other in the laundry basket, happily hanging out among some clean towels and rugs on my craft table. Then this awe-inspiring cuddle occured. And of course, there has to be the ... More About: Dies
Worthy Wine Notes
2007-04-27 21:21:00 I came across a website this morning called The Wine Century Club. I first thought it was a club for wine lovers over 100, I mean there should be a lot of them what with wine being touted as such a cure-all for what ails you, but in fact, it’s a club that promotes the ...

When you?re on the mend?..
2007-04-24 17:52:00 my hopes would be that you have someone who is incredibly thoughtful taking care of you. I might be willing to loan out one incredible husband, but I would want him back.

Grill Fever gets me back on my feet
2007-04-22 02:31:00 It’s been a gorgeous summer-y like day, the temps are warm and the air punctuated with Saturday sounds- cars, kids, motorcycles and laughter.

WCB-When relaxing turns bad for the cat
2007-04-14 16:50:00 Some mornings after I get up, Harmon just needs a snuggle.

Lately I have been simply pulling him into my lap to snuggle, and he ... More About: Cat , When , Relaxing , Relax , Turn
Stir Fry Chicken with Bok Choy
2007-04-13 04:15:00 I love stir fries….I could eat them all the time. Trouble with them is that they often don’t photograph well, coming out resembling something other than their true nature and not often wholly appetizing. Yet I persevere. This photo turned out pretty good. This simple recipe from the current Food and Wine magazine was twisted up ... More About: Chick , With , Chicken

2007-04-04 14:45:00 Yup. Snow. *sigh* But only a little; not like April 27, 1983 when I was a freshman in college and we had over 20″. This is a dusting, but the temps are in the teens.

Pork and Vegetables in Peanut Sauce
2007-03-29 02:05:00 I love peanut sauce; love it madly, truly, deeply.
