I am on a roll today. Yesterday, work was really busy and left me little time to type. Due to that, I saw a lot of news/articles but do not put my opinion down to the page. I am a huge college football fan. Many reasons for this love but suffice it to say that… Continue reading Just what the h*** is college for?
I wrote, earlier this week, about whether the GOP is watching the Democratic gatherings and if the GOP will learn from the appearances of their soon-to-be competition. Now comes a bigger question. Just who, or what special interest group, do you have to be to get a sit down with the major contenders? As I… Continue reading Do politics cater to the special interest groups?
Wow! I have so much produce I am not sure what to do with it anymore. Yesterday, my basket of farm foods – mostly vegetables – came from the small farm I deal with. Number one – let me say community supported agriculture is amazing. This concept of providing farmers with upfront money to invest… Continue reading Farm Fresh Food (CSA)
I know that sounds like a really stupid title but it has been extremely hot, and in most parts of the country also humid, the past few days. And, even if it is not humid, when you hit 100 plus Fahrenheit, it is hot. Your body needs fluid replacement. I am not talking athletic fluid… Continue reading It’s Hot … What are you drinking?
Okay, I know the election is well over 500 days away still. I also believe that this is way too early for 8 (if Mike Gravel is still in things) Democratic and ten to twelve GOP candidates to be debating and campaigning already. And, as is with the placement of nominating conventions, placement and timing… Continue reading Will the GOP Candidates Learn Anything?
Yeah, yeah…historic baseball weekend! Oh wait, to a purist that would have been last weekend when Cal Ripken, Jr and Tony Gwynn were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. I am not interested in Alex Rodriguez being the youngest player to ever hit 500 homers. If I were a Yankees’ fan,… Continue reading Baseball – Tom Glavine
Wow! I just had the most amazing breakfast. I had an omelet – farm-fresh eggs, local feta, onions, tomatoes. Well, tomatoes are not in season quite yet here so those were not from the farm but from the grocery but I still loved my breakfast. I have to say that my attempt at eating better… Continue reading Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Updated
I love food! I love to cook! I love to bake! I love to eat! But, most of all, I love summer food! Fall, winter, and spring bring about a lot of comfort food – those things your mother made and her mother before her and probably her mother before that, the heavy foods that… Continue reading Summer Food
While my 20 year old daughter may be talking about the local tour stop of CMT On Tour 2007, I am talking about L’Tour de France. Another of my huge fascinations with the country of France – other than its food and wine – is this endurance bicycle race. I have biked for a long… Continue reading The Tour
I swear there should be a word like blog that is for the times – in this particular case, summer – when you have tons going through your head and on in your life but don’t blog about any of it. I haven’t put fingers to keys in a blogging manner in two weeks. In… Continue reading Summer Blogging
