Peppermints

My grandmother was a very interesting lady. She did not have very many vices that I recall. We seldom found snacks at her house. One day my cousin Paul showed me where Grandmother’s soft peppermint sticks were in her cabinet. He told me if I snuck one to only get one so she would notContinue reading “Peppermints”

The Secretary Desk

My grandmother treasured certain items in her home. She was very fond of depression glass and certain pieces of furniture. She had an old oak secretary desk in her living room. I always liked that piece. Yesterday I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a neighborhood group that had items for sale. A friend ofContinue reading “The Secretary Desk”

Gardening

My grandson helped me garden today. He loves the outdoors and I enjoy his company. I bought a basil plant a few days ago at the farm store. I saved planting it for today because I knew he was coming for a visit. He gets bored easy so I chose a quick project. I loveContinue reading “Gardening”

Treasure On The Back Porch

My mother was a great collector of much of nothing. Today our grandson is with us and we found a box of my mother’s old broken jewelry. You would think he hit the jackpot. He has found great pleasure in carrying around the beaded Indian necklace. I find that funny. It was like my motherContinue reading “Treasure On The Back Porch”

Where Oh Where Has The Dish Box Gone?

Soooo… The other day my grandson went up to the spare room to play with his toys and watch cartoons. He told me that he could not turn on the TV. I had a house full of family so I did not go check out the problem. I told him to go play outside. Soooo…….thisContinue reading “Where Oh Where Has The Dish Box Gone?”

Mocha and Hot Chocolate

The grandson said, “Dinky, how about some hot chocolate?” So hot chocolate he gets. Everybody loves hot chocolate. I like mine with peppermint and a splash of coffee. Grandson told me I needed sprinkles too. This is a yummy way to start off a chilly morning.

communication is key

I chatted it up with my son about my losing my temper. He told the girlfriend, “Don’t take shit that does not belong to you.” Nuff said here at the funny farm. Communication is key.

popcorn

For your viewing pleasure I want to present the best popcorn ever. The name is Panhandle Popcorn. Warning – food porn overload.

Whip Cream

My husband Chuck and I are extreme foodies. He spent his career in the grocery business and I have a certificate in Food Science from the American Institute of Baking. We love good food. He loves ice cream more than anything. It reals havoc on his arthritis and diabetes . I found whip cream satisfiesContinue reading “Whip Cream”

BlackBerry Cobbler

I love blackberry cobbler. My grandmother would have it every time we would come visit. My aunt gave me the family pan for cooking it in. Every time I eat it I remember days of running through hayfields in the summer and the old farm. My grandmother made hers with biscuit dough. I make mineContinue reading “BlackBerry Cobbler”
