I’ve never been fond of Thanksgiving. In fact, truth be told, I honestly detest Thanksgiving. What a strange thing to say, huh? Why would ANYONE dislike a holiday that centers about family and being thankful? It finally hit me last night. I am always really emotional around this time of year. My birthday is coming [...]

Ho-Ho-Ho…Merry Christmas!!!! And what a Christmas it was! As usual, it’s early December 26th and I am up, long after everyone has retired, and am reflecting on the day(s). Every year I am amazed at the speed at which the year has passed and how quickly the Holidays snuck up on me. How can I [...]

I am shocked that I haven’t posted on here since 11/25! How can that be? Honestly, the older I get the faster the time goes by!. We finished with the Basketball Season for the 6th graders, then between studying for tests (David’s), work, and getting ready for the holidays…it seems there is never enough time [...]

Thanksgiving is not my favorite holiday. Why, you ask…well, I truly try to be grateful/thankful every day. My birthday is in the vicinity of Thanksgiving so it was usually “celebrated” on Thanksgiving. I’m not fond of turkey and all the trimmings. And, in all honestly, I have some unpleasant memories of Thanksgivings growing up. Last [...]

It was an incredible Christmas, blizzard and all! Brian and I hosted Christmas Eve last night. Kenny, Michele, Jake, and Michele’s Mom, Betty joined us, Rochell, Gigi, and Sonya. I’d thought it would be nice to have a couple of pots of soup on the stove as well as some freshly baked bread for dinner. [...]

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 [...]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM “SMALL TOWN” NORTH DAKOTA!! Halloween in Mott is very different than what I am used to. The local weekly paper that comes out every Monday came out last week with an odd boxed blurb on page 2: Trick-or-Treating from 4pm to 6:30pm (or after the football game) Dinner to follow for those [...]

This is a sorry excuse for a fireworks picture…some photographer I am. But I chose this one to illustrate a point. This, way up in the sky, “professional pyrotechnic” looking firework was purchased by one of us non-pyrotechnic people. This illustrates the difference between the “safe and sane” fireworks that are the only available option [...]

The Lummis Elementary Honor Choir performed for the School Board of Trustees tonight. They did a fantastic job…as usual and thanks to Kim Dotts!!!! Since I knew Brian was going to be in ND and Shawn would be at work, I asked Erin if maybe she and Kailee might like to go grab a bite [...]
