I had a coupon for a free Torpedo sandwich at Quizno’s sandwich shop. So after knitting group the other day, I went to the neighborhood Quizno’s for lunch.
After I got my meal, I took a seat at a table near the front window but sat looking into the restaurant. In a little while a man [...]

Remembering Tang
Posted in food on July 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
With all the focus on the moon landing in recent days, I’m surprised no one has brought up the products which were developed for use by the astronauts. I know there was a freeze-dried ice cream. I never tried that. But the most commercial product, I think, was Tang. Do you remember this?
I have a [...]
Refreshing Summer Beverages
Posted in food on July 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The heat has returned after a delightful 10 days of cooler weather. With the heat, my thoughts have turned to summer beverages. Which ones are refreshing? Which ones quench thirst and which leave you longing for more?
I think, hands down, my favorite summer (really, all year long) beverage is iced tea. I drink it without [...]
A Recipe Variation

When I was a girl, my mom sometimes made breaded pork steaks for supper. She would dip the pork steak in beaten egg and then in flour. It was then fried. These crusty pork steaks came out tender and delicious.
The other day I saw a similar recipe for baked chicken. This recipe had you use [...]
Mini-Vacation Extended

Sunday was Friends’ Day at church with just one service in the morning. This was followed by “dinner on the grounds” under a tent following the worship service. Some of the men had barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs. We had potato chips, potato salad, and baked beans to go with them. Dessert was a choice of apple [...]
OASIS Luncheon
Posted in food, weather on May 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday was the annual OASIS luncheon. There are over 2,000 OASIS volunteers so it’s no wonder that you have to be quick with your RSVP to get to attend this luncheon. There must be close to 900 people there. This year the focus was on the reading tutors, although they have volunteers who work in [...]
Guild Election Results
Posted in Knitting, food, music on March 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As I mentioned in my last post, Saturday was the day of the Knitters’ Guild election. As I suspected would happen, my preferred candidate for the two contested offices was not elected. So I just hope the reservations and concerns I have about the people who were elected to fill those positions prove to be groundless. [...]
Using Leftovers
Posted in Knitting, food on February 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Recently I read an article about making use of leftovers in these uncertain economic times. The author referenced taking home uneaten parts of your meal when you eat out in restaurants, making second meals from them and using every bit of the food you cook at home.
I agree that this is a [...]
ISO breakfast ideas
Posted in food on October 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m in search of breakfast ideas, specifically low carb breakfasts. I’m working on a weight management program with my doctor. We’ve identified one of my problem areas as being a love of carbohydrates which he would like me to limit. Breakfast is a prime area where carbohydrates play a significant role in the menu. The breakfast [...]
Squirrels refuse to share tomatoes
Posted in food, gardening on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Those pesky squirrels who took my “big” tomato have come back. They very neatly picked all four of the small nickel size tomatoes off the other plant. They absolutely refuse to share with me. It has been suggested the reason they do this is that they want the moisture which is in the tomatoes. With as [...]
