Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
First of all, I must make a confession. I made a tomato based red chile sauce last month and canned a dozen pint jars plus four quart jars. Needless to say, I had to adjust this recipe so that you don’t have to make a huge batch of chile sauce as I did. So, Instapot.... Continue Reading →
Somehow, I forgot the sights and sounds of Boise until this past week.
We are in week two of our Costa Rica adventure, now staying in the Monteverde area of Santa Elena, surrounded by cloud forest sights and sounds. I don’t recall how or why we chose Los Pinos to land our weary feet, but we both agree we found a gem of a place to stay. Let’s... Continue Reading →

However, after meeting the owner of ExtravaGONZO Foods for the umpteenth time at either the Boise Co-Op or Whole Foods in Boise, I challenged myself to adjust the ingredients to use two of their flavored...

What is in a name, anyway? I held a real estate open house in the East End on Saturday, and to my surprise, I had two ladies with the name Ginger. Two in one day! Disclaimer: neither lady looked like Ginger from Gilligan’s Island FYI. But, what a great a name, right? Later in the... Continue Reading →
I follow @MichaelChatman on Twitter because he is the sort of positive I want in my life from people that make a difference. From following others, I learn to improve myself, to become a better person. I admire their ideas, their passion for the greater good, and their passion for spreading the word for what...
