Happy Earth Day

We all know what to do, a lot of it is common sense. I won’t lecture anyone on the evils of pollution, global warming, not recycling, etc. etc. We tend to take things for granted, even our very existence. Let’s hope we can all be aware and more conscious on daily choices for our future […]

That Time of Year

It’s that time of year again, and even though we have had a few tornado watches and thunderstorms already, luckily we have gotten thru unscathed. Last night brought more rounds of wind, rain, hail and watches and warnings. I snapped a quick pic at around 6 last night of some hail that fell. It was […]

Monday Music

As Monday rolls around again, time to start off the week with some music to sooth the savage…er tired soul. The following song is from a group that like last week, is rather new to me, but has that same sort of bluesy sound. One of my sisters-in-law turned me on to their music.

14 is the new 13

Today has started out as “one of those” kind of days that has me double checking the calendar to make sure it isn’t a real Friday the 13th day. I woke up to the smell of a burnt ham. I don’t know how the ham I put in the crockpot last night on low could […]

Peanut Butter Bars

A lot of people are fans of the Reese’s peanut butter eggs in their Easter basket. This is a quick recipe for peanut butter bars that hits all of those peanut butter and chocolate flavor notes. 1 cup (2sticks) of either margarine or butter (softened) 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs 2 cups powdered sugar […]

Deviled Eggs

Is there anything that screams Easter more than deviled eggs? A staple at Easter, picnics, buffets, and anywhere else a relatively cheap and easy appetizer or side dish is needed. How one makes their deviled eggs is up for debate. There are two camps when it comes to deviled eggs, those firmly in the mayo/salad […]

Whodunit?!

Tragedy struck Civatar today as word spread that “Egg” from Nutsy and the Egg fame has gone missing. With Easter on the horizon, fears grow for the fate of the egg. The list of suspects was released and it appears that no one is exempt from suspicion. At the top of the list of suspects… […]
