Hard for me to believe that some people do not know how to cook, like from scratch.  By scratch, I mean with a raw onion, carrot, or whatever.  I guess I am lucky and did not even know it.  My mother knows how to cook, both of my grandmothers cooked, I am now lead to [...]

I am so taken aback by the outpouring of supporting emails, phone calls, comments of facebook, DMs on twitter, comments on the blog (even the ones that I refused to publish to keep you from being retaliated against).  I had no idea that that many of you cared.  My whole family is deeply touched by [...]

Abuse and the passion 4 truth

Tomorrow we will be back to regular, edible programming.  Today, a dead leaf coated in ice. This has to get out.  Everyone must know, especially on the Eve of the Biggest School Fundraiser of the Year.  Just where is your money going? Is it going to a place that is safe for YOUR children?  I [...]

Duma and the last straw

I know you are hoping this is about strawberries and frankly so do I. Have you ever seen DUMA?  It is a fantastic movie.  Can you imagine our surprise when we were on safari in South Africa that we just happened to stay in the Farm Inn in Pretoria.  I love this place even more [...]

For the recipe skip ahead, please. I have some thoughts that I just need to get off my chest, so skip ahead please.  This is just my way of keeping sane, you should not read it. Please skip ahead. I did something dumb, stupid actually.  I spent the day at school with my 6th grader.  [...]

Best Christmas Gifts for Foodies (me)

READ MORE –>

Have you already prepared your gifts for your favorite foodie?  Do not fret, it is not too late.  No, forget that TGI Friday’s gift certificate you saw at Safeway.  You can give that to my brother.  He would put it to good use, but if you really care for the foodie in your life check [...]

I have lost 2 things, and I am in the process of losing the third.  No, I’ve lost 3 things lately. It is official it is 3 things.  The first being the battery charger for my Canon.  What the heck, how can I use the damn camera without a charged battery?  It has to be [...]

Bistro San Martín, Arlington, Washington

Thumbnail image for Bistro San Martín, Arlington, Washington READ MORE –>

The kids and I made an impromptu trip to Western Washington for a couple reasons.  First, my Great Uncle Lawrence had recently passed and there was a memorial for him.  It was really a nice ceremony and we were glad that we could make it.  It was when I was sitting there that I realized [...]

Is your chicken contaminated?

READ MORE –>

Sunday was a lot of things, St. Nikolaus Day, My grandmother’s 95th birthday, and a day of travel. Driving across the state of Washington is not my favorite thing to do.  The boring 370 mile trek through the cities, the mountain pass then forever along the straight, mostly flat, roads of the Columbia Plateau on [...]

Starbucks VIA Ready Brew

Recently Starbucks contacted me to see if I was interested in trying their new VIA Ready Brew.  I do not claim to be a coffee connoisseur so I was reluctant. I drink coffee, occasionally, and I think I know what I like, but I am not in the slightest qualified to even give my opinion [...]
