Announcing…..
I am a fortunate person. I work with many talented people. We may be a plasma donation center but the people who work there have talents that you wouldn’t expect to find. For example we have great cooks (besides me…), one of our staffers, even made it to the Pillsbury cook-off! We have people that […]
Another Fine Spring Day
At 5:00 am the wind blew so hard that it woke me up. I lounged in bed thinking “wow, the wind doesn’t usually wake me up”. Great Falls is typically on the top 10 list of most windy places and I guess I’ve acclimatized because it doesn’t wake me up. But not today. I tried going […]
Basic Marinara
First let me start off showing you what a spring day in Montana looks like. Don’t cha wish you lived here too? That’s the thing about the Northern Tundra, you could get snow in any month of the year. But when summer does come, and it’s not to hot and not to cold and there […]
I used to….
There was a time when I used to own a 1978 Land cruiser. See, we had been thinking about getting a third vehicle. The baby boy was almost 16, and that meant getting a drivers license. That meant he could finally taxi himself around and that would have been a good and a worrisome thing. We are not […]
Tiramisu
I said it before and I’ll say it again, I really am not a baker. Actually I’m not that much into sweets. There are a few exceptions, I do love dark chocolate and I love Tiramisu. It is by far my favorite dessert! But then again, cheese is my favorite food and it contains cheese. […]
Rack of Lamb with Rosemary and Thyme
Some things are just worth it! If you’ve never tried rack of lamb put it on your bucket list because it’s a must do! I didn’t get my lamb from an organic store or from a butcher or local sheep farmer, I just bought it from Sam’s Club. It’s New Zealand lamb and it was […]
Lemon Curd
As I mentioned in yesterdays post, I scored some Meyer Lemons. They are the juicest of all lemons. I wish you could cradle one in your hand and feel the sheer squishiness of it. Just a little squeeze and you instantly know that this lemon promises you lots of juice. I was afraid if I […]
Coming Soon
I’ve been working hard all day today to get ready for Easter and my posts for this week. When I went grocery shopping, what to my wandering eyes should appear? Meyer Lemons, lemony lemons, juicy lemony lemons. What a treat, I mean we just don’t get them here! Maybe things are a changen? Know what that […]
Chai Tea Mix
Once upon a time there was this Kitchen Witch who woke up to a grey and dreary day. This Kitchen Witch loves a good cup of tea on grey dreary days. Chai is her favorite tea, but this Kitchen Witch didn’t want to get out of her PJs early in the morning, she just wanted […]
Nara of Japan Oriental Dressing
Newport News, Virginia, 1988 I went to my very first Japanese Restaurant. It was called Nara of Japan, my aspiring actor boyfriend took me on a date there. It was a whole new experience for me. It started with a salad with the most amazing dressing. Followed by a box lunch with my very first […]
