I went to a bicycle race yesterday at the Dick Lane Velodrome in East Point, GA. Even though I grew up in East Point and lived near the velodrome, this was the first time I had ever attended an official event. I went with my two birdie friends, Terri and Gina. We took a wagon full snacks and drinks and […]
After yesterday’s cornbread “cake” I decided to give this Taste of the South cookbook one more try and I made some Pecan Sandie Praline Bars. They looked tasty in the photo and I had all the ingredients so I thought they would make a good accompaniment to my potato soup. The soup was pretty basic using potatoes, onions, […]
Unfortunately, I missed a Westside Women’s luncheon Saturday but I got two kids happily off to college and my school year is underway, too. Things are settling in. Hopefully you will find me back at my blog a little more regularly now that the Back-to-School rush is done. I still had a few lingering tomatoes from my […]
At 5:30 a.m. Davis and two of his friends jumped out of bed and drove to our local Chick-fil-A. Tomorrow is the grand opening. (For some reason even though I have resized these photos three times, they are coming out gigantic – at least in the preview. Maybe they will settle down in the […]
We’ve had alligator sightings in our fair city and now there is a Loch Ness Monster sighting tonight. The alligator sighting took place last May. A truck driver saw an alligator under a bridge and stopped to take a photo of it. You have to realize we live in suburbia 30 congested minutes south of […]
As I mentioned in my last post, this was my final week of summer vacation. As teachers, we admittedly have a sweet deal in the summer with 8 weeks off (keep in mind we don’t have paid vacation, just weeks off so it probably isn’t all that “sweet” of a deal, however financial semantics aside, […]
Absolute An0nymity My summer vacation is counting down and I am in full DIY mode getting everything done and crossed off my summer list. We go back to school August 1st. That’s next Monday. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in. Only SIX days left!!!!!!! Today I made a wooden tray with my […]
If you didn’t read the Ketchup and Mustard post, you completely missed out on my aromatic mustard kitchen. I mentioned that the fumes were quite intense. I can see why mustard gas during WWI was effective. Wow! I also reported that we made late night brownies to replace the odor with something more pleasant. It […]
I made pickles Friday and yesterday I made some other condiments – ketchup and mustard. A few years ago I made some ketchup and it was legendary…at least to me. I loved it much more than commercial ketchup. The only negative that I noticed about making and preserving ketchup is that it turned off-color pretty quickly in […]
