He: What’s this in the freezer? Me: Oh, it’s a container of hailstones. He: Hailstones? Me: Yeah, I saved some for you. He: Why? Me: Because I didn’t want you to miss out. He: Miss out on what? Me: Miss out on seeing the hail! We had two huge hailstorms pass through and I wanted [...]

One piece! One tiny little piece of homemade Chinese-style beef jerky remained in the bowl. In the quick ten minutes it took me to wash the dishes, the entire contents (minus one piece, of course) had been devoured by He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named! Noting the digestive-inhalation that just occurred, I considered my first foray into making beef jerky [...]

What’s not to like about a cake that has all the delicious components of a bakery-fresh eclair, but is easier to make?

Picture smooth, thin-skinned, lemons swaying seductively in the breeze. They temp you with their fresh fragrance and their bright eye-catching color. Heavy with juice, that begs to be released, the luscious fruit cry out “Take me! Use me! Squeeze me now!” A while back I wrote a short piece called Got Lemons? for a Friday [...]

For a person who likes to collect things, recycle, and drink wine, this was the perfect rainy day project for me! Several years ago I received a small, child-sized chalkboard as part of a gag gift. Being the perfect size for a desk top message board, I decided to hang on to it and figured [...]
