Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho

Ingredients 1 tblsp coconut oil or a neutral flavored oil4 cloves garlic, minced1 tblsp The Ginger People, minced or ginger juice, more to taste*1 jalapeno, deseeded and diced1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp dried...

The national discussion is pulling back the curtain on moral values. As I have stated in the past, Americans have selective hearing. Americans hear what suits them best and that is what they believe, not what the facts are. Americans have become tribal, all thanks to demagogue leaders that have taken over American politics. Our...

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...

I have the song “What’s Going On?†in my head from the late, great Marvin Gaye. The Big Bad Awful bill passed on strictly party line votes in the Senate and the House. With so much disinformation in America and throughout the world, I want to present facts. 17 million Americans will lose their health... Continue Reading →
Politics aside, I have to distract myself, especially today because the Senate passed a heinous bill. Time will tell and teach them the consequences. So, I turned to the one thing that brings me joy, and that is playing in my kitchen. I miss the crispy cheese crackers from Trader Joe’s, so I found a... Continue Reading →
This is my go-to vinaigrette for anything salad! Orzo, rice, vegetables, even a marinade. Makes about 10oz. I use a tall quilted 12oz canning jar to store it in refrigerator. Ingredients 1/3 cup lemon juice¼ teaspoon lemon zest2 tablespoons Dijon mustard1-2 cloves garlic, minced½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ¼ tsp dried leaves)¾ cup olive... Continue Reading →
I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →
