New Recipes and Another Blogger Meet :-)
I cannot stop thinking about Steamy Kitchen’s Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Pepitas and Homesick Texan’s Corny Dogs. I think I’ll make the corn dogs for my husband on Friday for our Halloween date since Roxi has a school dance/sleepover. She doesn’t like hot dogs, and to be honest, I’m not crazy about them either, but I’ll [...]
Foodie wrap up
A quick post today. The Asado was brilliant! I made it Saturday night with the intention of eating it on Sunday, but Roxi came home from her sleepover, took a whiff and said she must have a taste! It’s feisty by itself, but on Sunday I made Homesick Texan’s flour tortillas (SO good) and a pan [...]
A day of food for me
A field near Roxi’s school yesterday morning, England. It seems like all the fields in my area were tilled in the same week. Today’s the International Festival at Roxi’s school. I made 22 dozen butter cookies, but looking at them in the tupperware container, it just doesn’t look like I made enough. Oh well. There [...]
For "all y’all" Expat Texans in the UK ;-)
This morning while scanning my Bloglines list, I saw that Homesick Texan had a new post up. I try to be careful about when I read her posts because, dang, her recipes make me hungry and sometimes her writing makes me homesick. So this morning, coffee cup in hand, I gingerly click on the link [...]
A little homesick
The birds like to rest on telephone wires back home in Texas. January 2008. I’ve got a little of the homesick blues today. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon enough, but last night I realized that this is the longest I’ve been away from home–almost nine months. Anyway, this should help: some friends and [...]
I’m Smokin’!
I tried my new stove top smoker a couple of days ago and may I say, WOO-HOO! Yes, I’m from Texas, but the only kind of outdoor grilling I’ve done was on a small pit. This is the last one I had back in the states. I loved it! It was the perfect size for [...]
New Friends
I did the most interesting thing on Friday. How can I say this without sounding like a total geek? I met two of my Internet friends! Yes, live and in person. A face to face meeting in REAL LIFE. Some of you many know Bee from her blog Bee Drunken. What you may not know [...]
Imperial War Museum London and Whole Foods Market Kensington
After Mr. DJ and I dropped Roxi off at her friend’s house, we took the train into London. Another beautiful, summery day! Oh, and after all that moaning I’ve been doing about the “100 Days of Darkness”, I wanted to say that the days are so nice and long now! Sunrise today was at 4:45am, [...]
Catching up
Our neighbor’s climbing roses are blooming like crazy. Unfortunately, our neighbors are in the USA for three weeks. No matter, we’ve been enjoying these lovelies for them. We are having a great time with my parents and aunt, even when we’re just sitting around the table talking and eating (too much). Having them stay with [...]
Spring means shedding
Evidently Trudy’s coat thinks it’s Spring too. She is shedding like crazy! . I made Beef Keema (beef only and cooked it for 2 hours–mmm) last night and naan in the pizza maker. I need a better recipe for naan. I’ve tried this recipe twice. The first time, I made it as is but I [...]
