I really love short ribs, but have never made them here at home to the deliciousness standards that I hold so dear. Well, that statement is a thing of the past because this is one of those dishes you will make again, and again. It is so delicious you will want to serve it for […]
Roosters crow all the time. The connection with the sun coming up is a misconception. They might, on occasion, crow right at dawn. Foghorn starts his deep loud crow usually 30 minutes before the sun crests the horizon. However, roosters crow whenever they feel like it: morning, noon and night, not to mention afternoon, evening […]

A week ago I competed in a race named “Mudathalon”. A three mile race with 40 obstacles through the mud. Me, my hubby, Jacob and a handful of friends all enjoyed getting thoroughly and disgustingly muddy! I know it doesn’t sound fun, but it was. Imagine rappelling ropes draped over ridges into muddy streams, a […]
This has to be one of my favorites dishes to serve to guests. It has a lot of steps, but all the time is in the prep work, and you can do it before you plan on cooking and before the guests arrive. That way when its time to cook, all you have to do […]
