The big picture in the back yard still looks a little bleak. But if you look down and look close… The daffodils are pushing aside the leaf litter and will be blooming soon. Can’t hold back spring now. ~~Rhonda

chickpea snacks
March 2, 2009 – 2:28 pm
Today I tried making toasted chickpeas (garbanzo beans) for the first time. I’ll say up front that I am the kind of person who likes to eat the old maids when we make popcorn…you know those unpopped and partly popped kernels of corn? I save all the old maids and repop them. Second time around […]
pippin’s gone

Last night, Pippin passed away. He was an old cat. An outdoor cat. A stray that adopted us in September of 2006. He became DD#1’s cat. When he came to us he looked terrible. His hair was falling out, he was very thin and weak, he had a bad limp. As time went by, his […]

new green onions
February 28, 2009 – 10:37 am
After seeing this onion recycling tutorial online, we decided to give it a try. When DD made tomato soup, she saved the root end of the onions and we planted them in a little pot. They have started to grow. I’ll have plenty for a salad, sandwich or garnish when they are larger. DH doesn’t […]

the best banana muffins
February 25, 2009 – 11:19 am
Recently I posted a recipe for chocolate chip banana muffins. I found a banana bread recipe from Martha Stewart while web surfing that was touted as being extra special, so I decided to give it a try because I had these bananas that were on their last legs. Here’s the recipe with the slight changes […]
