Category Categories are meant for organizing your posts like a filing system. They are typically broad terms like "Recipes" or "DIY Projects". These are your general topics that you write about. Typically you'll have a few of these.. maybe 10 of your primary categories. Don't get to specific with your Category titles like "ground beef".. that is what tags are for below. You can also do sub-categories where you have categories listed under a primary category. An example of this is "Recipes > ... continue reading...

Crock Pot Jambalaya
Ah, Tahoe. What's not to love about towering Ponderosa pine trees, a crunchy carpet of needles and Paul Bunyan-esque pinecones, a blue sky, and an emerald lake? Add to that a second-story balcony in a condo we were offered for free, and two weeks to dream, read, pray, think and sleep ... now that's a vacation. Of course I brought my crock pot. That's what I do. Call me cheap, but I just can't bear to eat out all day long when I know how easy it is (and how much more affordable) to just pop ... continue reading...
Zuppa Toscana
What a great day for Home Skills Fellowship! Perfectly sunny, perfectly warm ... well, maybe a little too perfectly warm if you ask some of us. But since we only have to endure a few of these very hot, too hot, hot, hot, hot days here in the Pacific Northwest, we who believe 75 degrees should be the temperature cap everywhere in the world will try to muffle our whimpering. Let's get straight to the Zuppa Toscana. I know a lot of you are waiting for it (because I'm getting emails telling me so). ... continue reading...
Dinner and a Show (part 1)
While on our trip to the East Coast, we witnessed an unexpected outburst by an old woman. I'll give you all the details in another post, but for now, here's an old post that came to mind while I was mulling it all over. Dave officiated at a memorial yesterday for a woman from our church. Patsy was 71, a hard-worker, the possessor of a great sense of humor, and a clutch-you-tight, squeeze-your-bones hugger. I miss her. Sundays will be odd without her. Later, we headed to Costco to pick up a ... continue reading...
Fair-Worthy Corn Dogs
I was watching Paula Deen a few weeks ago (I adore her to pieces, btw. When, o when is she going to invite me over for coffee?) when she announced that she was going to show us how to make "Co-wern Dahgs." I almost didn't have time to ponder her impressive and delightful ability to pull a second syllable out of a one-syllable word, because my thoughts instantly went to the Fair. Am I the only person who attends the Fair primarily to eat corn dogs? When I was younger, I ate a minimum of two every ... continue reading...
New York Cheesecake with Mixed Berry Topping
They say that only two things are certain in this life: death and taxes. In my world, there are two more certainties: Dave would like tacos for dinner, and Dave would like cheesecake for dessert. Any day, any occasion, any time. I almost don't bother adding anything else to the options. Why offer Beef Wellington when he'd rather eat tacos? And what good would it do for me to add eclairs to the dessert line-up, or chocolate cream pie, or creme brulee? As long as "cheesecake" is in the same ... continue reading...
