She was tired. You can see it in her eyes for they lacked a sparkle. You can see it in her smile as little frown lines become more permanent. Even how she stands looks like a person who is about to fall over. It wasn’t because she was deprived of sleep, it was because she was starting to …

Pork
Don’t Be Stressed, Dumpling
How many times a month do you say you are busy or stressed out? It has become your go to answer each time someone asks “what’s up” or “how are you doing?” I’m good with my friends who on occasion use this as their response but there are those people who say it all the time and …
Eggroll in a Bowl
I’m trying to make a decision if I have a bad habit, an obsession or something that requires therapy. When you enjoy something when does it become an addiction? I’m seeing an issue and I’m not sure if it is an innocent behavior or a serious problem. It has to do with bowls. I think I wrote …
I Don’t Think You’re Ready For This Welly
I think the cold meds are getting to me. I was in the kitchen this week making Pork Wellington for Earl’s belated Valentine’s dinner when I channeled Beyoncé. If you don’t know who Beyoncé is she is a popular pop/R&B singer. She is tall, amazingly beautiful and African American. She can shake her body in …
Rebooted Pork Cutlets
Did you ever watch the Jetsons as a kid (or adult)? It was a fascinating cartoon about life in the future. (Okay, maybe fascinating is stretching it but it truly was awesome Saturday morning entertainment when it was in syndication during the 1970’s.) Just in case you lived in a cave or had a mom who …
Easy Breaded Pork Tenderloin
I think I told you once that I worked as a bench chemist in a small lab in Illinois. (I do have my degree so don’t try this at home!) A lot of my time was spent starting a reaction in the morning and then waiting for the right moments to add more ingredients chemicals. …
You Are Pulling My Pork
Like most people, I have goals. Some of them are simple…like clean the bathroom closet. Some of them are a bit more complex…like take a vacation in Italy. Some of my goals involve my husband. (Um, I’m not going to share that one!) Some of them are completely independent of him…like taking particular cooking classes …
Not a “Boar”ing Bolognese
Do you ever have a thought in your head that is REALLY random? I mean, there is nooooo reason whatsoever for this thought, it just pops in your head. This thought is so random that you spend countless minutes, maybe even hours, thinking about this particular topic. Yankee Doodle. Yep, that was my thought the other …
Here I Ham Again On My Own
I treat holidays like “opposite days.” Most people get the urge to jump in the kitchen during the holidays. They cook more dinners than they would normally and they bake cookies like a Keebler Elf. (Is it politically correct to still call them elves?) Me, on the other hand, gets really lazy about cooking. I …
Meatballs…the Memory
Meatballs. Did you ever see that movie from 1979? I wasn’t feeling well the other day and it was on one of the “classic” movie channels. (I always feel old when movies I grew up with end up on the classic channels.) I couldn’t resist cuddling up in my woobie and watching the whole thing. …
