We’re nuts here, seriously crazy nuts. We are also nuts about nuts. If I put out a bowl of pistachio, before you know it it have a big pile of shells and pistachio skin all over the place. I used to buy shelled peanuts, but lately McGyver had shown a sensitivity to them. He seems […]
I’m not very sentimental and I don’t really like to dwell on the past, but mine and McGyver’s Honeymoon was one of the best times I’ve ever had in my life. I love McGyver, I love traveling, I love motorcycles, I loved, loved, loved our honeymoon through Europe on a bike. And because I loved […]
On a whim I picked up a jar of almond butter with honey. I’ve never had almond butter but I’ve heard about it and thought it sounded wonderful. The jar with honey in it was particularly enticing, peanut butter and honey is a favorite combination of mine, especially on celery. I eagerly dug into the […]
There is a tall stainless steel shelf in my garage. It’s an extension to my kitchen. I store big bulky items like a crockpot, pressure cooker and electric roasting oven on it’s shelves. I also store items not frequently used like cake decorating items and items used only when I entertain. Buried in a box, […]
I’ve been pretty lax lately on keeping up with my posts, especially Mondays. Spending every weekend up at the cabin and loads of visitors and many more excuses, time seems to slip through my fingers like sand. I’ve been meaning to recount mine and McGyver’s honeymoon. We did 13 countries in 10 days on a […]
Wowser, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks. Finally our much anticipated visit from our granddaughter and her Mom and Dad was upon us. This was their first visit to Montana, a whirlwind chaotic visit to be sure. You know how you’ve got things planned out? A sort of itinerary to keep focused. Let’s just […]
So many of my posts have been about eating up at the cabin, this is surely not the last one either. For me, I feel constantly challenged to serve interesting food. It’s so easy to fall into the hamburger/hot dog/cold sandwich/granola bar rut. Typically we are working during the day, painting, chopping wood, even fetching […]
If you are as old as me, you will remember these famous actresses and their motorcycle scenes (watch the video below). One of the actresses is Pinky Tuscadero. I can remember thinking that Pinky Tuscadero was so cool, I wanted t o be just like her without all the pinky parts. Maybe it was the […]
It’s no secret that my eyes are bigger than my stomach, my sense of time means that I always think I have more time than I do and I have an unrealistic view of how much fresh food we can consume in a week. I have this tendency to overbuy and then I find myself […]
I’m not an exotic cook nor do I have an enormous amount of foodie knowledge. I cook more exotic than some and I seem to have an above average knowledge of foodie things. I’m not a foodie fad girl, I don’t go chasing the latest “in” thing. Lamb may be the new bacon, but bacon […]
