Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup
When my daughter-in-law texts me the "clapping hands" emoticon after I've sent a bowl of soup home with her, I know I've got a good recipe on my hands. While the tweaks and fiddles are fresh in mind, here's my version of Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:3] It probably goes without saying, but this is a highly bread-dunkable soup.

Wondering
There's a brand new Scougale boy in the world ... and he's the third. I have every confidence that he will be as adorable as his brothers.

Growing and Drying Mint for Winter Tea
From the age of 7-10, I lived in a tiny town in Oklahoma called Heavener. Over the years, I've met a number of people who were born and spent their whole lives in Oklahoma, and none of those people except for one ever heard of Heavener. I have a fond memory of attending a Seder Passover dinner at the home of Glen Campbell (and his beautiful wife, Kim) when my son was 8, and at one point during the night, I found myself standing in the kitchen talking to Glen while he ate a plate of food. Knowing ... continue reading...
