Time to own up. I’ve decided to write a blog post every day in November. It’s part of something called, alternately, NaBloPoMo or NaMoWriMo – a country cousin to the National Novel Writing Month. I don’t know if I need to sign up somewhere, or if there is a website organizing the movement. All I… Read more »

List Making
I’m feeling the pressure of the holidays already. It’s less than three weeks until Thanksgiving and I haven’t started making my lists. I’ve got the menu pretty well figured out (considered an Ode to the last Gourmet magazine – cooking their entire Thanksgiving dinner, but can’t give up my favorites.) Now, it’s time to get… Read more »
Packing for a Trip
We’re heading to Michigan tomorrow for a wedding. It’s a very quick trip – we’re both busy with work and life – so we’ll be back on Sunday. We’ve done these trips before, for other family functions, and it’s always important to carry some snacks. Everybody’s happier when there is something to munch on. Tonight,… Read more »

Here’s an quick, incredibly easy, dinner using one of those 6c bags of stock in your freezer. I… Read more »

A few years back, Betsy and Forrest made the decision to focus full time on running the farm. It’s a… Read more »
Sunday Roast Chicken Dinner
We’re still cleaning up around here. The house has been in a complete uproar since the basement was drywalled. Today, with the clocks falling back, rain steadily falling, and no need to go anywhere, we took on the clean up. First we had breakfast to fortify us. Buttermilk pancakes and Sauteed Spiced Apples. Served up… Read more »
Dinner in a Hurry
It’s been busy around the house the last few days. We finally had the basement drywalled and painted, after ten years of talking about it, and everything that was stuffed in that hideous, dark, dusty room is now spread throughout the house and garage. It’s going to take the rest of the week to get… Read more »
