I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the water issue will be taken care of this week. We have a professional coming out to do the job. I know Tony likes to do things himself to save money, but he's just shooting in the dark at this point. Running the pump has been like having a [...]
Elvis has left the building! I mean the tools are leaving the house. This week Tony is removing tools and bringing them to our current house. We're only leaving a few to finish the flooring and other little things. My IT guy brother is finishing the network infrastructure. We are spending most of the week [...]
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 [...]
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 am not from the Southern US. You can probably tell by the recipes I post. Even those in the north do enjoy southern fare. Buttermilk fried chicken, hot chicken, gumbo, jambalaya, and many others. However, there is a beloved dish that I was not aware of until recently, and that's bog. The dish consists [...]

When I first saved this recipe to blog, I didn't really know the history of this dish. Looking a bit further, I found out this is an African American from South Carolina. But, it's more than that. According to Wikipedia, "The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, in both the [...]
This recipe is really simple this week. That's kind of where I'm at this week. With my schedule changing again, I'm not in the mood for any more complexities. Now this doesn't mean I want a boring recipe. Some of the simplest recipes can be flat out amazing. I wanted the most bang for my [...]
Another week working part time at home. I think without the technology we have today, it would be much harder to work at home. I use both Microsoft Teams and Slack to work on different projects. Both allow me to keep in touch with my colleagues easily. VPN technology has improved too. I don't need [...]
It's been getting busier and busier since the coronavirus outbreak has been ramping up. Now I'm working weekends so I need to have meals that are quick and healthy. Just because you may be busy, doesn't mean that you can't eat healthy. One of the reasons I do this blog is to help others with [...]
