Carole saw my post about Chicken Barley Soup where I posted a photo of my soup next to a plate of bread. Forget the soup, baby, what’s that bread?!?!? Well, it’s not MY bread. I haven’t baked bread in… gee, must be 5 months? Now that we have our kitchen back, I’ll probably start it [...]

Chicken Barley Soup
September 14, 2010
We’re cooking again! After the massive 4-month kitchen renovation, we’re back at the stove. This recipe is perfect for a cool, autumn day. Chicken soup can be bland (which is why I don’t make it very often), but I have found that the Salamida Pinch seasoning makes the big difference. The soup is very savory [...]

I can never seem to get this meme straight. I look for it at Val’s site, but I can’t seem to find it on Friday. Then, when I visit Chatbug Karen’s blog and By the Sea blog, they have theirs posted. I feel left out. lol. Well, even though FFFF #119 has been issued, I’m [...]
No More Four Foods on Friday?

Am I missing something? We haven’t had a Four Foods on Friday meme for over a month. Was it canceled? Did I miss the announcement? Maybe Val is renovating her kitchen, eh? That’ll keep a lady busy. It’s keeping me crazy busy, anyway…. so much so that I don’t remember the meme for a WHOLE [...]

Considering the Raw Food Diet
April 14, 2010
I’ve been hearing about something called the Raw Food Diet lately. As I’ve gotten older, I absolutely LOVE fresh vegetables and fruits (especially vegetables).

We have another One Question Quiz, and interesting one. What can you make with meat or poultry, rice, cheese and a vegetable? Hmmmm. I’m not very fond of rice or chicken.
