Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Years ago, I had a delicious salad at El Torito Grill in Newport Beach. This is the recipe I made up to make at home! Ingredients 1 small can diced green chiles 1/3 roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), not salted 2 garlic cloves, minced ½ tsp sea salt ¼ ground black pepper 1 cup olive oil... Continue Reading →
I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly exhausted by the chaos that is drowning our nation. Every day and I mean every day there is something more outrageous than the day before. ICE killing Americans. ICE beating those who are taken into custody. DOJ investigating Trump’s adversaries. Civil and equal rights are in... Continue Reading →
I am unhappy with my writer’s block and yet there is so much chaos in America right now, it’s no surprise that I’m stuck. What do I write about? How do I frame it? How can I stay calm when writing anything political? Well, that led me to the fact that I lost two incredible... Continue Reading →
I have been in a writer’s block for a few weeks now, unable to sit down and write what is on my mind. Truthfully, there are too many issues on my mind. I have had to turn that off and sit still to meditate more often. Even my walks and hikes are in silence. It... Continue Reading →

A few years back, a good friend gave me a small jar of tomato jam. I have been craving it ever since. However, all the recipes I found have just too much sugar in them. Darn it! So, me who-does-not-follow-recipes, made up my own. My first batch was heavenly; this second batch uses red wine... Continue Reading →
Today was a tough day listening to the Epstein survivors speak about their trauma from the past when they were minors and/or college aged young women. One after the other spoke about what took place that robbed them of their right to be a functioning woman let alone teenager. One after the other spoke about... Continue Reading →
All of trump’s cabinet nominees were dishonest at their confirmation hearings. Their pressure is Project 2025 in full tilt mode. Abolishing programs for special needs and disabled children. Give the control to the states? Do these people even think that states can afford to pick up the slack? Women shouldn’t serve in combat roles in... Continue Reading →
The news cycle is so full of horrible news in America that even political pundits and historians can hardly keep up. The distractions from tRump are deliberate although not calculated in any rhyme or reason. It’s just about revenge in a mean spirited manner. So, what do we do about it? Protesting is a good...
