Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
My tomato plants have been pulled and what was green has slowly ripened for one last pot of marinara sauce. I made a pot of it last week and froze it, then vacuum sealed it to take with me for another trip to Southern California. I'm going to help my sister pack her house and wish her well for...

It’s somehow astonishing to think that this Fall it will be two years since Paul died. It took me almost a year to use the word “died†instead of “passingâ€. The first year I learned that he did not pass but that he died and it was all so very final. And at the same... Continue Reading →
When does your week end and when does your week begin? I suppose I can say Sunday or Monday, Monday being the wisest choice. After all, Saturdays and Sundays are supposed to be “off†days despite the fact that many of us work on weekends. I had a tough week. It began early on with... Continue Reading →
I wanted to title this post, I Picked From the Tree of Life, but right now my tree is all about Friendship. My true blue friend, Dawn, called me today and I told her that I was feeling down about a loyalty issue with someone I considered a good friend. She gave me the inspiration... Continue Reading →

I am much for selective and spend less... Continue Reading →
Some days, I just have to have a bowl of fresh pasta. I know, the gluten thing. I'm here to tell you that King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill are the best hands down, but if you are going to have to use a gluten free flour, I highly recommend Manini's. I have made so... Continue Reading →
I do not care for zucchini bread, probably because I just do not like nutmeg. Sorry, it is a deterrent when it comes to those zucchini breads, carrot cake and pumpkin pie. NO thank you. In order to determine a way to use up a boat load of yellow squash I was the recipient of... Continue Reading →

I sort of follow recipes and yet not at all. I just cannot add certain ingredients that cause concern for me. Why that? Why not this? But, I must admit, I enjoy more of a savory taste than a sweet taste. Gimme some spice in that dish! I can turn down chocolate any day but... Continue Reading →
