I really don't have time to cook this week. With a conference I have to travel to coming up and working on the house, it's just too busy. So I opted for a recipe that could be put together in a flash. Fried rice is one of those dishes that is easy to make and [...]
I have had a reprieve from working on the house for a couple of weeks. I have more flooring to put down, but I can't do that until Tony is done with the tile work. Good news, we will have a working toilet on both floors by the end of this weekend. That doesn't sound [...]
Things are moving along at the new house. However, the huge pile of beige tile we had in our garage is now down to nothing. This means we had to pull up tile in a part of our current house to place down in our new one. Now I have a bare floor that needs [...]
I got the floor laid. I managed to finish without busting up any more of my fingers. If you can afford not do, don't buy the Home Depot Trafficmaster laminate flooring. It's not worth the headache to install. Tony gets the easy flooring (the stuff that costs $2.39 a square foot versus 49 cents a [...]
Boy, laying floor was killer. Managed to smash my pinky with a hammer. Luckily, it's not broken. It looks pretty nasty, though. I haven't finished the flooring yet, so I will be working another couple of days. In the meantime, I have to make dinner. I chose something simple this week with my favorite ingredient, [...]
Things are ramping up around here in terms of our new house. I get to spend two days off working on laying flooring that Tony hasn't been able to do. To be fair, very few people can lay the Trafficmaster laminate floor from Home Depot. It doesn't like to click together and it's kinda flimsy. [...]
This week has been off the charts busy. I don't have a lot of time to cook. I'm back working on my house. This week it's fixing floors. Last week's dish was wonderful, but it took a while to make. Look no further than Eating Well for a recipe for Trinidadian Pelau with Chicken to [...]
I had other plans on what I was going to cook this week. I have some turkey legs I need to use up. I am still working through some meat that was in the broken freezer. I was originally going to do chicken and dumplings. I still will. However, I watched an episode from Middle [...]
I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
I will admit I have an ulterior motive for this recipe. My extra freezer is on the fritz and I am in need to use up some pork that was in it. It also got a little freezer burned, so I needed something that had some punch. I found a recipe from My Heart Beets [...]
