TToT – Light from Darkness
As I was putting together my list of Thankfuls for the week, I realized that there was something of a theme at work. We’ve had several “darker” moments this week – things that just haven’t been the most positive or haven’t gone quite the way we would have liked. But in several instances, a positive…
Traditions Old and New
Tradition – the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way. When we think of traditions, it is easy to think of things that have been handed down for many generations. Tradition is the way we’ve always done things. But traditions had to start…
Soup of the Week – Corn Soup with Roasted Corn Guacamole
I am happy once again to give you a Soup of the Week that has come from a dear reader – thanks to Sarah at Amycake and the Dude for this week’s recipe. We actually tried this about two weeks ago and then I got distracted by the two batches of homemade chicken noodle soup…
TToT – Fastest Long Week Ever
I’m really not this late in posting…I had this ready on Saturday morning. Somehow, I failed to remember to link up the post, though. So here it is, better late than never. This week has felt incredibly long. And yet, since Friday evening I’ve found myself frequently wondering how the week went by so fast.…
Not Your Day to Win
This post has been a long time coming. Mostly, I guess, because every time I sit and write some or think about the words that inspired it, I end up with really conflicted feelings about it – one day the whole thing spins very positive and another day it spins off in the absolute opposite…
TToT – Sick Tea and Chicken Soup Edition
The flu is running rampant in our state. At least that’s what the news keeps telling me. I wasn’t sure it was true, but then it decided to rear its ugly little head in our house. At work on Monday, I was certain I was coming down with something – by the time I got home,…

A little reminder of warmer days to come…
Ten Things of Thankful – Thawing Out and Going Basic
No muse befriends, this week, really, friends – haven’t found much to post here. Maybe I’ve just been focusing my brain power on other projects this week. Anyway, better late than never, here is my list of thankfuls for the week. I am… Thankful that – for the moment at least – it is not snowing. Or…
German Fest in My Fridge
Ever have leftover CSA vegetables you didn’t know what to do with? In January? Yeah, this surprised me as well. But sure enough, just after New Year’s, I found myself staring at some leftover kohlrabi, turnip, and carrot and half of a huge head of purple cabbage. They were perfectly fine – wrap and package…
Every Day Love
I’ve been thinking a lot about love the last couple of days. For starters, there’s that rather large and obvious thing called Valentine’s Day that has just passed us by. Kinda can’t miss that. Love it or hate it, there it is. I can’t say we’re huge fans of Valentine’s Day here. We’re not huge…
