This weekend we went up to the cabin, like we do most of the Summer time. This time McGyver suggested we go for a stroll through the woods. A stroll through the nice shady woods on a hot summer day, who could resist. We loaded up in the Rhino and Becca was coming along (Summer […]
I have been excited about the Secret Recipe Club ever since I read about it on Feast on the Cheap (one of my all time favorite blogs). After reading about it, I knew I wanted to participate. I’ve been looking for a club of some sort like Daring Cooks, only I’m not to daring. However […]
Last weekend Mcgyver and I went lake Krabbing. We set our krab pots out late one evening, full of bait and woke up early the next morning to see what we caught. Much to my delight we caught a Krab. Oh happy days, I couldn’t wait to prepare a tasty lunch that day. Yes, that’s […]
We’re nuts here, seriously crazy nuts. We are also nuts about nuts. If I put out a bowl of pistachio, before you know it it have a big pile of shells and pistachio skin all over the place. I used to buy shelled peanuts, but lately McGyver had shown a sensitivity to them. He seems […]
I’m not very sentimental and I don’t really like to dwell on the past, but mine and McGyver’s Honeymoon was one of the best times I’ve ever had in my life. I love McGyver, I love traveling, I love motorcycles, I loved, loved, loved our honeymoon through Europe on a bike. And because I loved […]
On a whim I picked up a jar of almond butter with honey. I’ve never had almond butter but I’ve heard about it and thought it sounded wonderful. The jar with honey in it was particularly enticing, peanut butter and honey is a favorite combination of mine, especially on celery. I eagerly dug into the […]
There is a tall stainless steel shelf in my garage. It’s an extension to my kitchen. I store big bulky items like a crockpot, pressure cooker and electric roasting oven on it’s shelves. I also store items not frequently used like cake decorating items and items used only when I entertain. Buried in a box, […]
I’ve been pretty lax lately on keeping up with my posts, especially Mondays. Spending every weekend up at the cabin and loads of visitors and many more excuses, time seems to slip through my fingers like sand. I’ve been meaning to recount mine and McGyver’s honeymoon. We did 13 countries in 10 days on a […]
Wowser, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks. Finally our much anticipated visit from our granddaughter and her Mom and Dad was upon us. This was their first visit to Montana, a whirlwind chaotic visit to be sure. You know how you’ve got things planned out? A sort of itinerary to keep focused. Let’s just […]
So many of my posts have been about eating up at the cabin, this is surely not the last one either. For me, I feel constantly challenged to serve interesting food. It’s so easy to fall into the hamburger/hot dog/cold sandwich/granola bar rut. Typically we are working during the day, painting, chopping wood, even fetching […]
