It's a hot weekend here to celebrate the 4th of July, but an anticipated short afternoon rain may cool us off for the fireworks tonight. It is expected to be in the mid-70s later. We haven't decided if we will go downtown to the Music on Main concert before the show like we did last …

Sunday Chat – Blogging, Cooking and Shopping
Boy did my post on Thursday touch a nerve for a lot of us. With over 50 comments in just a few hours, it is clear that most of you love blogs still. Several commenters asked me not to stop blogging, and I want to assure you that I fully intend to keep blogging. I …

Japanese Style Chicken Meatballs
With the price of food rising almost daily, I've been looking for new recipes to use less expensive cuts and ground meats. Ground chicken is still economical, but I didn't have a good idea on how to use it. Then I got the Milk Street World in a Skillet book, and there was a great …
Sunday Chat
More things have been blooming around our home, and a few have come and gone. It is enchanting that we have lady slippers, as they are so difficult to grow. I was thrilled a few years ago when one turned into two. Each year I marvel at the unusual flower that grows where the fairies …
Cooking Up Deliciousness
Experimenting in the kitchen this week has been fun. My Sweet Babboo has been eating pretty well, with new dishes to try and being my guinea pig for the coffee cake contest. I made an Apple Coffee Cake with some apples I had from the basket we got a couple of weeks ago using a …
Alfredo Chicken Corn Chowder

Chicken Pasta For Two
In the pursuit of tasty recipes for two with little left over, I am often stymied by the size of a bottled sauce. The ones most available are made for four, not two. So the challenge is how to have two meals from the same bottled sauce and have them be different. My Sweet Babboo …
Sunday Ham Dinner and Leftovers
Are you cooking a ham today? It is a tradition in many households, and one that usually leaves a lot of leftovers. While having nice slices for sandwiches for a few days is nice, I usually want something else before we can finish it off. See my post on Ham Dinner and Ham Casserole to …
Shrimp and Grits – A Fast Meal
Before Mardi Gras, I promised to give you all the recipe for my Shrimp and Grits. This is stupidly simple, and a really fast meal when I've forgotten to defrost anything for supper. I use frozen raw shrimp that will defrost in half an hour in a bowl of cool water, and quick cooking grits …
