Pickles!
These are all grown from my garden this year. Carrots, mega gold bell peppers, gold jalapeños, sweet red onions, red ripe garden salsa peppers, garlic, and a couple stems of fresh oregano and lemon thyme. These are "asian" flavor brined in rice wine vinegar and palm sugar with...
My husband's papa is dying. It's cancer, we knew this was coming, it's been years of struggle and he is tired. He's lived a whole life with post polio syndrome and it's amazing He's made it this far. He is a scientist that invented test kits still widely used today in veterinary medicine.
I'll...
I'm not sure that it will......
This is the kind of man that would put his mattress directly on the floor. Use cardboard boxes for end tables. Thrift beanbags for living room furniture. As long as his computer has two great big monitors, a fast internet connection, the building has adequate...
My husband to me today:
So anyways, I'm on hour 10 simmering bones and aromatics for the broth going into my made entirely from scratch chicken and noodles dish today.
We're having a bit of an argument. We agreed when we got married that he'd wash the big dishes that don't fit in the dish...
I'm pretty sure every single order I have ever placed with Stuller has had something incorrect about it. Wrong number diamonds, included wrong size in the parcel of diamonds, wrong color diamonds, missing gold in the order, and now this:

I'm doing some designing.

Some work in progress on this. One of the consequences of manually modeling a stone from scratch is that the object is unrecognizable to the program I use as a "gem object", disabling the auto-builders in Matrix, which forces me to manually model everything around it as a consequence. This has...
I'm sorry to not follow up on the turkey. It was so good, there was no time for pictures, lol.
Today, bread. Basil, oregano, thyme, parsley, carrot tops, Monterey jack, cheddar and mozzarella cheese

This material was mined in the 50s, cut in the 60s into freeform cabs, and recut again in 2023. The lapidarist is from South Paris, ME. I purchased it from a private collection. I'm very happy with it.
I'm from rural Iowa, literally corn-town. The place I grew up in is surrounded by corn. The movie theater is in the middle of a corn field. Legendary Harrington sweet corn is burned into my brain and let me tell you something about this wonderful corn, it is juicy, it is packed with flavor, the...
