I've decided to add "cooking tips" to the blog for you. It dawned on me last night, after Unca T gave me a cooking tip while I made red clam sauce for him and the fam at g-ma's house, that this might be needed too. They will be short posts, just a quick note… Continue reading Cooking Tips #1

Snickerdoodles!
This is my favorite cookie and my Aunt Jane, who passed away two years ago, used to make them all the time. Unca T sends me a batch for Christmas too, along with pizzelles. Now THOSE are NOM! Most of my recipes are on note cards, which means I have no idea half the time… Continue reading Snickerdoodles!
One More Time!
I'm moving again next weekend. Yep, you read that correctly. *sigh* Someone please shoot me already. The cool part? ~ Newly remodeled apartment, no pet deposit, no cleaning deposit, and it's on the ground floor. The bad part? ~ I'm moving again. ~ There's also the fact that it's ALL tile floors. Have I mentioned… Continue reading One More Time!
Yorkshire Pudding
This recipe is an old one, passed down to me by my maternal grandmother, passed to her by who knows in my ancestral line. G-ma Ethel always made this when she'd slow-cook a roast, and it's a family favorite. It is, however, quite greasy, so we didn't have it often. This is a fairly simple… Continue reading Yorkshire Pudding

It's been an unexpectedly emotionally draining day. My grandmother is in a nursing home right now. She's been back and forth between there and the hospital ever since she fell and broke her knee early January. This was the first time I'd been able to visit her in the home, having seen her at the… Continue reading G-ma

Angels
Someone did something special for me last Thursday. They took care of my dog when I couldn’t. They are “fostering” her so she could have a vet check-up and can get medication for her hip dysplasia. The shots I’m paying for because I’ll feel bad if I don’t cover something. I’m also not certain… Continue reading Angels
Fry Bread
This wonderful recipe goes quite well with last week's Red Chili Stew, so you might want to try them together. The Native American girls I used to work with just loved it when I did the two together. Fry Bread Ingredients: 5 cups of flour 1 tsp. Baking powder ½ tsp. salt 1 cup… Continue reading Fry Bread
Red Chili Stew
I found this recipe a couple of years back when working as a Life Skills Mentor for Native American teens. My girls absolutely loved it, and especially with Fry Bread, which will be next week's post, so get ready for some heart-stopping food! Red Chili Stew Ingredients: 2 lbs. pork, cut into small pieces… Continue reading Red Chili Stew
RIP
Jinxie G passed away last week, February 9th, 2011, from multiple complications, one of which included her 135-lb. malamute Moon and a staircase. It appears that while Jinxie attempted to control the dog’s descent down the stairs, Moon decided it would be a good time to learn how to fly, being that she’s a “special”… Continue reading RIP
