Food For Thought Friday
January 29, 2011 By 1 Comment
Its surprising this is not a food blog. By that I mean a blog dedicated to all things food (not just my random recipe rave) because it really is one of my passions. I am equally fine with cooking myself or eating out, as long as the ingredients are fresh and the flavors are intense. Last week I talked about fresh ginger and how it shouldn't be an intimidating spice. Well this week I thought about what ingredients sound more intimidating than they actually … [Read more...]

I have this habit. A somewhat expensive habit. A habit that annoys my husband but he puts up with it. I start hobbies and never finish them. Take for example the cake decorating classes. My ex-partner in crime and I signed up for classes through a local cake supply shop. Eight weeks, eight classes, eighty bucks. No problem. Well, no problem until we found out all the supplies we had to have. No problem until I learned that I really don't like … [Read more...]

Weekend Wrap-Up

Wow, this has been an interesting week full of ups and downs. On the upside, we found out my husband only has to travel to his home office one week per month AND they will pay for travel expenses! Talk about a relief on the soul and the budget! For almost a year, I have been a single parent during the week. My husband has either traveled back to his home office or traveled some where across the country for business. Its been hard on all of us but most of all, its been difficult for him to … [Read more...]
Renosky Fishing Lures
January 22, 2011 By 31 Comments
My husband's family lives in Northern Ohio. One of my first visits there I was subjected to a perch fry. While I'm usually not a fan of lake fish, I found when anything is breaded and fried, it can taste pretty good. Little did I know to catch a specific type of fish you need a specific type of lure. I thought all you needed was a worm and hook. Goes to show what this Iowa girl knows. So this giveaway is for the boys! Ladies, if you have a guy in your life who likes to fish, check out … [Read more...]

Food For Thought Friday – How to Use Fresh Ginger
January 21, 2011 By 2 Comments
As I try to trim the fat and calories from my diet, I find myself using more spices to kick up the flavor. A spice that I've used sparingly (mostly in the dried form) in the past is ginger. In my Asian Lettuce Wraps, the recipe called for fresh ginger. I've used this once or twice before but actually found it quite intimidating, after all, its a big 'ole root and not too pretty. So, I pulled out my trusty "Tips Cooks Love" book by Rick Rodgers and this is what I found out how to use fresh … [Read more...]
