Today I would like to put aside my planned post about sprouting lentils to say a word about my beer jelly. I know, I know! Please quell the outcry! The lentils will come soon. Farmer’s market season has begun and a whole new crowd is being exposed to beer jelly and I get a number …
Spicy and Sweet Spring Salad
Ta-Dah! Baby arugula, breakfast radishes, chives, and violets. This is my very first garden salad of the year. And FINALLY! I might add. I am so tired of frozen vegies. Yes, I could go purchase all the fresh veg I want (and I do) but it just doesn’t taste the same as my own hard …
May photos, Congratulations TDH
The past couple of weeks have flown by! Before I completely jump back into reality, I would like to share just a few photos with you and take a minute to congratulate the love of my life on a spectacular achievement. This silly little side trip to law school brought us to Vermont. In the …
How Not To Make Cupcakes
My post for today was going to give you a festive Irish cream cupcake filled with Guinness Beer Jelly and topped with Whisky buttercream.

A taste bud update.
It has been a couple of weeks since I lost my taste buds and I am happy to share that slowly but surely my taste buds are coming back. I rarely have surprise attacks on my mouth but the raw feeling is not quite gone. The sides of my tongue and most of my mouth …
Growing New Tastebuds, What an Experience.
Have you ever had the experience to lose your taste buds? Like your mouth just started over? I don’t know how common it is or even really what caused it for me. It seems to be the side effect of some rash illness that struck. It also seems to be temporary. It is an interesting …

Making room for piggy.
Yes! It has finally arrived! I have been waiting all year. Yesterday I picked up half a pig butchered just for me. Tall Dark and Handsome has been waiting for this, also. He began nesting by purchasing me a freezer for my birthday…… true love…. The season is changing again, Fall is fleeting. Winter hit …
