I like to make soup a couple of times in the week for lunch and to add to dinner. Today I was working on tortilla soup but was distracted by chasing a pooping Pit Bull puppy: she ate an entire tube of raw chorizo that my (adult) son left sitting on the couch and it [...]

I am planning a project to renovate my kitchen and spend virtually NO money, just paint, cleaning supplies and some kitchen reorganizing. Our house is 159 years old but the kitchen had a crummy update in the 80’s, rendering it useless to food storage and traditional cooking. All the goodies like veg and flour bins [...]
I am feeling tired and out of sorts today; did not get enough sleep last night. I should exercise but I am not going to do it.

One could only hope. I could only aspire to such ripply niceness, being a girl and shaped like a pear that is a wee-bit shall we say “over-ripe”? Tho I wish I looked like this lovely fat girl: Note about this picture: is is a pic of Mena Suvari from “American Beauty” that has been [...]

I will be making a crust today for nibbling this week along with fabulous “Oopsie” rolls that are also her great invention Pics to come after [...]
