I recently posted about the ornamental peppers I’m growing in pots around the reservation here.

This weekend the weather turned off cool and crisp. Not cold, I don’t think my veggie plants are in any danger, but cooler than I like this time of year. (Then again, I’m into shorts and bare feet by Texas Independence.) Cool weather is a good excuse to break out the slow cooker and make […]

Cat-sitting has its moments. (Archie, ready to roll above, might disagree by now.) After all the fights, the feedings and the frenetic searches (how’d Samantha get into […]

Today is World Nutella Day. That’s right, a whole day devoted to the tasty spread made from hazelnuts and chocolate. Irresistable! (Especially to my daughterperson, who has her 21st birthday tomorrow.) Creamy, gooey goodness that goes well with almost anything! At least I’ve never seen a recipe containing Nutella that anybody ever complained about…
I’ve […]

You remember that game where you say a word or phrase, and your friend says the first thing that pops into her head? Well, I bet if you try this with “hominy” here in Texas, the automatic response is likely “grits.” (Not a bad choice.) If […]
