I started this novel the other evening while relaxing in a hot bath. My plan was to relax a bit then hit the hay…only once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. So I sat in the bath until I was a prune, then went back out to the living room and kept [...]

“You should be kissed…and often…and by someone who knows how” Rhett Butler to Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind” They have been advertising the release of Gone With the Wind on DVD and Blu-Ray and that is the scene they use…when ever I hear it, in my mind I say… Amen Brother!

One of my birthday gifts from David was this book. I had heard of the ratios behind cooking “standards” before in other cookbooks; when I heard about this book, it immediately went onto my wish list. It is a fantastic book…something that will allow me to do more experimentation. One of the sections in the [...]

This will be the first Thanksgiving where I am doing all the cooking…and I am looking forward to it. In previous years I’ve always been intimidated by the mere thought of “hosting” Thanksgiving. I’m kind of surprised that I am looking forward to it. Is it my renewed joy of cooking? Or cooking in this [...]

I’ve been dreaming of my brother Jeff a lot lately. If you don’t remember, it was Jeff that made my life difficult when it came to caring for my Mom…and made my life completely miserable as trustee for my Mom’s estate. So I find it odd that I dream of him about twice a week. [...]

She, Rachel, had noticed my Nevada License Plate (ITAKPIX) and asked what I take pictures of. This got us talking about photography…she shoots Nikon [...]

Those orange things in the box would be the elusive clay pigeons. You can only hunt them while in flight. But the damn things don’t have wings, so you need a launcher…hence the weird metal thing mickey-rigged on a tire rim. Once you’ve shot the clay pigeon, you needn’t clean it, only make sure, when [...]

I am someone who is very happy with the way my life has turned out. I have occasionally wondered how things would have differed had I taken the “other” path when I have reached certain forks in the road. An example would be going away to college…would I have been successful? Attained the DVM designation [...]
