No Rest For the Weary

Jerry — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:20:12 +0000

Let me apologize at the outset. This post is a bit rambling. It covers a lot in as short a space as I can fit it into.

Many of you know that we’ll be moving to California in the near future. As of today that move is … [visit site to read more]

Short Order Mom is more than newsworthy

Jerry — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:17:32 +0000

At least that’s what Pennsylvania’s The morning Call thinks, and I happen to agree with them. The Morning Call ran an article on my dear friend and fellow food blogger Anne of Cooking with Anne, Short Order Mom and A Thousand Soups this morning that covers her … [visit site to read more]

The BMET Christmas Party

Jerry — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:35:49 +0000

This year is not only our last year at Sheppard Air Force Base, but very likely the last year for the BMET Christmas party as we have known it. (For those of you not familiar with the acronym, BMET stands for BioMedical Equipment Technician, and it’s what my wife does for a living when she’s not instructing or writing.) Knowing that it could be the last of these get-togethers was the only reason we needed to attend and I’m … [visit site to read more]

Thanksgiving 2008, a wonderful day

Jerry — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:34:54 +0000

Thanksgiving this year was both a challenge and a pleasure. The pre-Turkey Day prep didn’t go as planned, which left us making a full dinner, both indoors and out in less than four hours. (And Thank God for smoker grills!) I’m not totally used to our new oven, and there just isn’t enough room for the two of us in that kitchen. Thankfully we’ll be looking to buy a home at our next duty station.

The meal, however frazzled its prep may have been, was fabulous. I started things off with … [visit site to read more]

Our 2008 Turkey Day Menu

Jerry — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:20:06 +0000

For those of you with an interest in what will be on other people’s tables this Thanksgiving, I thought I’d lay out our plans for the holiday. For us, Holiday dinners are a week-long affair, and like any other holiday, I’ve already begun on this one. I’d rather spend the actual day chatting with my friends and family than being “the cook”, because the whole point of a holiday like this one is enjoying each others company, don’t you think?

Well, that and the leftovers… I love that … [visit site to read more]
