Poor Man's Stew
Check out this hearty, cheap fall meal.
I grew up poor. I have always been poor. I honestly don’t mind being poor most of the time. When something breaks down or someone needs more money than we have, then I mind it, but not most of the time. I love the creativity and the independence this lifestyle provides. Many folks think it’s terrible to be independent but I love that independence. I enjoy making meals out of a…

Insanely, the villains of the…

What World Are You Living In?
The way I see it! Three years ago, we lived in a more or less stable world. Americans did notthink that anything could bring us down, but something did–not thepandemic–but rather those profiting from it. These people set out to makefortunes, grab control of governments, and break our democratic republic. I wish that I could say that they had good motives–at least at thebeginning but I don’t…

He haunted us because of love...
He Came Back for Love! Buddah Kitty This week a dear friend lost his pet cat. Not everyone understands what losing a pet means, but I personally have a best friend named Poncey who is a large ginger tabby. I will be devastated when he passes. All this talk and grieving about pets reminded me of another little cat I once knew and who loved us enough to come back. Buddha was a long-haired…

Baked Potato Biscuts
These are so good no one will know you used up left-overs. When you are cooking, think ahead. Can you make extra, and then reuse it later? How about planning extras for other types of foods? I always make more potatoes than I need. If I am making mashed potatoes, I will cook too many and remove the extra to a bowl to cool. They can be turned into home fries, salt-water potatoes, chopped up…

My job, or at least one of my jobs, was to glue all the little bits and pieces to the dolls costume. This required the use of an industrial glue gun. I did it every day for months safely, but one day the glue gun malfunctioned and shot a stream of hot glue across my left…
