The Divine in Nature
My day lillies have exploded into giant yellow suns. The morning glories have created a natural fence around the vegetable garden and are showing their pretty white faces. The tomato plants have turned into tomato TREES, and when I say we will have hundreds of tomatoes, I'm not even exaggerating. I'm thinking in terms of big vats of gazpacho for ( Read more... ) -
Hey Ladyjoust...
We were given a very sexy cast iron dutch oven as a wedding gift. Any favorite recipes to share? Especially those that would be good for camping?

My running schedule...
has gone kaput this week. This damn sinus infection is kicking my ass. I'm so low-energy and I can barely breathe... I feel like an 83 year old or something. Ugh. Started antibiotics today. Hopefully they'll kick in quickly and I can get back to my regularly scheduled full-plate next week. But for now... bedtime. ::sniffle:: -

While I was trying to figure out the mystery behind this, I discovered the poor dears had aphids all over them ( Read more... ) -

Party stress and other boring spoutings
I always wondered why brides tend to freak out about stupid things surrounding their wedding. I mean, it's a party for crying out loud! A celebration! It's supposed to be fun, not stressful!
