Maybe you’ve noticed I’m posting a lot more than usual. I’m participating in NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month. I’ll be sharing a post every single day this month. Today, the beginning of week two, I had a realization about the challenge of NaBloPoMo. I don’t enjoy living my life online. I am craving authenticity, contact…
Soften Saturday: Compliments
I have a challenge for you this week, Sweet Readers. But first, how it came to be… This week while running errands I ran into a friend I haven’t seen for about a year. We spent a few minutes catching up in the aisle of a store. Her first comment to me was, “You look…
New Gluten-Free Finds at Trader Joe’s
I ventured to Trader Joe’s today because I heard through the grapevine (Instagram is my grapevine) that they now have gluten-free Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s. If you haven’t had a Candy Cane Joe-Joe before, it’s like an Oreo only better. The filling has just a hint of mint, thanks to little flecks of candy cane. My…
Weeknight Tofu Curry aka Curry in a Hurry
Slow-simmered curries create such a rich, deep aroma as the spices and vegetables meld together to create a comforting, hot meal. The entire house smells of warming spices, thick with coriander, cumin, cinnamon, pepper. While I love cooking slow-simmered curry for hours, most days I just don’t have time for that. I need to get…
Dill Pickle Soup, a Recipe Renovation Success!
Last week my sweet friend Gina shared the link to a recipe on Facebook. The recipe was for Dill Pickle Soup, a true work of genius from Noble Pig. It reminded me of soup I had tried a few years ago at Fountain on Locust in St. Louis. I took a peek at the recipe…
A Story About Voting…
A few years ago, while visiting a city of about 6,000 people on the mainland of Honduras, I noticed many people hiking down from the villages located high up in the mountains. A steady stream of people were entering the city, tired and dirty from walking down trails that are little more than a cow…
I Ate Here: Cosmo Cafe, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Recently we went to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a little day trip. After a 4 1/2 hour drive to get there, we were so hungry. How is it sitting in the car for hours creates a voracious appetite? First on our list of places to grab a meal, Cosmo Cafe. Cosmo Cafe is located in Tulsa’s…
An Afternoon on the Farm: Cheese and Chocolate Tasting
Do you ever see those beautiful photos of farm-to-table dinners and wish you could attend? The ones with white-clothed tables stretching for yards into a field or meadow or even better, housed in a beautiful barn? I see those photos often, read blog posts written by friends who attend these lovely soirees. I always wish…
Soften Saturday: National Blog Posting Month
Today is the first day of an entire month of daily blog posts from me. Yes, one post a day. Every single day. Once daily. For a whole month. Thirty days. Oh, good grief. What have I gotten myself into?!? So how is that a Soften Saturday topic, you ask? Well, let me explain…
Soften Saturday: WTH was Renee Zellweger Thinking?
Unless you live under a very large rock or deep within a cave, you’ve seen all of the media chatter this week about Renee Zellweger’s new look. The assumptions that she had plastic surgery, the pointed comments that she looks older than when she was last seen, the comments that she is unrecognizable. I read…
