Pank and I worked on a Corbin In The Dell project for most of the weekend. Let me start off by saying, I love that man! I am very lucky to be married to such a supportive husband. Throughout our weekend project, Julia Child kept coming to mind. I never knew what a big influence she has had in my life. I really never thought about it much. It’s not like I have a bunch of her cookbooks lying around. I have never made aspic from scratch. I certainly have never written a cookbook. (That last one may ... continue reading...
Whiskey, Wine and Pumpkin
I usually blog on Mondays, but Pank and I decided to take last week off and unplug. A large majority of our time was spent planting cool weather crops.

Daddy says the earth has a way of recycling itself. While I would agree that the planet will be here well after we are all dead and gone, what ... continue reading...
The Golden Rule
Recently, I have watched folks snubbing others on social media. Well- meaning professionals attempting to create a dialogue about anything from what foods are in season to the correct way to write a recipe have been dissin’ on people that may not know any better.

We all have probably found ourselves hitting delete right before posting or tweeting ... continue reading...
