The garden has become somewhat of an epic fail.
Correction: what's doing awesome is REALLY doing awesome and what's sucking is REALLY sucking.
The purple basil is something I'm proud of. I managed to raise one plant from seed and the second plant came from me pruning the first. I don't use this type in cooking--I have ...
I'm in the process of making dinner--broiled tilapia tacos and I had to stop to jot down this recipe so I don't forget it. I'm sharing it with you because I love you...and I regularly use my own site to find food I've made in the past.
But I love you.
That's what's important.
Best salsa thing I've ever ...
Roasted/baked chicken is probably one the easiest--and most impressive--things I cook...other than my Braided Egg Bread; that stuff looks amazing and is a cinch. I'm all about maximum payoff with minimum effort.
Even if you don't have the bacon--you should ALWAYS have bacon--this way of preparing a chicken will still work and is the way I ...
I'm not a big sweets person. Give me a couple of pieces of bacon over a couple of pieces of chocolate any day. But, when I get the urge for some ice cream--and that happens more than I'd like to admit since Tucker's obsessed with the stuff--I always get vanilla.
Always.
Everyone always says vanilla is the ...

That was the last--and first--picture taken of this cute, little caterpillar before I tossed the bastard over the fence; dude had the nerve to eat up on one of my onions.
He's lucky I didn't smush him into greenish-grey oblivion like I did his/her cousin/sibling/relative.
Stay out of my garden!

If you're looking for a highbrow wine then you've come to the wrong place...on so many levels.
First off, watch this:
The video cracks me up. Just thought you should know.
Spodee was a Depression era hooch that mixed up homemade country wines with garden herbs, spices and moonshine. The resulting brew was then put into whatever containers ...
Other than some thyme, basil and five pea pods, radishes seem to be the only thing I've managed to grow--and harvest--with somewhat reliable success.
I put them in the measuring cup with water because I wasn't quite ready to break the news to them that they were heading for my salad; I took that picture yesterday. ...
