I’m finally finishing this up late Sunday night. We’ve had a bit of excitement around here. A severe thunderstorm made its way through our area and brought baseball size hail and a tornado or two with it. We spent some time under our stairs with poor Shiloh who was terrified. Our roofs took quite a…
Busy Day Swiss Steak – A Vintage Recipe
Sometimes it’s fun to spend time in the kitchen concocting a special recipe. Put on some music, pour a small glass of wine and really get into the whole, creative experience. But some days you just need something you can stick in the oven without a lot of fuss. Busy Day Swiss Steak to the…

Menu Monday ~ 1950s Style
This week we’re going to eat like it’s 1955…or thereabouts. I spent a couple of hours this weekend looking through old cookbooks and family recipes. Let me just say – they ate some weird stuff back then. And they had a strange compulsion to put all manner of food stuffs in gelatin. Still, I think…

Sometimes there’s a little something I want to…
