Seems every holiday I get into a discussion about this song, and every one of them is enlightening. I re-iterate my take on it, and each year add more info and research to my personal brainings. Thought I would put my current thoughts down this year for later reference.
To start, here is one of the breakdowns of the song I really enjoyed reading:

I have been challenging myself to work with ingredients I haven't cooked with before. Leeks was on that list and are a popular staple as we move into the holiday season given its hardy growth in colder weather.This recipe was surprisingly flavorful for the limited and simple ingredients. A lot came from the hot sausage I chose from the local market, I am sure. But for only 2 Tbsp of butter in th...

Earthy-Sweet Ginger Butternut Squash and Shiitake Mushroom Soup
NOTE: This is a recipe I created off Whole30, and then adapted to Whole30. So note there is mention of non Whole30 compliant things (butter, cream, bread, etc), but I have noted substitutions or removal for Whole30 compliance. I did NOT put Whole30 in the title, because it makes me wanna scream when people tout a Whole30 recipe that includes tempting non-compliant aspects. But it IS adaptable w...
Our other property was broken into last weekend. It is currently unoccupied and we were additionally on vacation out of town so didn't stop by as we normally do to check on the house and do yard work. Perfect timing he could not have known about. We found out today when we showed up and saw the side shed open and some tools laying about. Then I saw the apple tree was pruned, followed by seeing the...
Have you ever known a mother or father (or been a mother or father) who forgot to pick up their child from a school activity, playdate, daycare or school? Perhaps dates got shuffled around, maybe dad usually picks them up but today mom was supposed to, the usual routine wasn't in play, and it just slipped their (your) mind? Luckily, there was probably someone who called and jogged their memory, an...

In the late 80's, I was in a youth summer stock touring company. As we were traveling around Arizona and southern California with our show, we would get to attend lots of theater along the way. Debbie Reynolds was playing in a touring revival of The Unsinkable Molly Brown down in LA (at the Shubert? The Kodak?). This was a reprisal of her role 25 years after she was an Oscar nominee for her movi...
I was at a loss as to what yo cook last night and hubby was grumbling about being hungry but was stuck servicing my computer for a bit. So as usual, I dug around to see what I had for ingredients. When warm weather comes, I almost always crave garbanzo beans. And I had some chicken breasts. Okay, I can work with that. Maybe something with a little spice...cumin, I thought. So I looked up some re...
A post from my 30th birthday over on LiveJournal
"Hell, the entire latter half of my 20's in general were really good.I
started my own business when I was 26. I left my office job in the tech
sector soon after, to focus on what I really wanted to do. My husband
was willing and able to support me in this. I trained with my mentor and
started teaching classes not too long after that.My classes...

was a great wedding planner. I am guessing most Virgos are. I was
planning a wedding in another city, and it was all my mail...
Time for some more recipes to share. Here is a few I did in a couple hours one afternoon as a make-n-take meal for my bestie Arya and her hubby Rob, who just welcomed their beautiful new baby girl Theia into the world. They put out an all-points plea for someone to bring them a meal or two the day after the baby was born, as the cupboard was bare and they didn't have the energy or interest in prep...
