I wanted something more this time, not the typical “meatloaf”. I had a bag of bell peppers from Costco that I needed to use, [...]
I have a 50 LB bag of jasmine rice currently sitting in my kitchen. We are only two, but we are splitting this bag with another couple, and that should last us for most of the year. Yes, we use alot of rice….”we’re rice men”* after all!

THE BISCUIT IS BACK!!! GLORY! GLORY! GLORY! Now, we’ll get the lowdown on the painting, the college intrigue, partying, the garden, mowing, and the gardener/carpenter/roofer/general handyman…..hummm? Oh, yeah, I’ve been involved in that IRS thingy……

When I was young, my Mother would buy raisin nut bread on very, very special occasions. I loved a toasted slice buttered with a plate of my Mother’s soft scrambled eggs. What a way to start the day, and it was more special because it was so rare. This recipe is a very good quick [...]
