    Valentine’s day

    Saturday, February 13th, 2010

    I’ve been getting ready for our annual Valentines day dinner. This is one holiday that is dedicated to The Hunka. I usually get taken pretty good care of the rest of the year so I’ve always made it a point to do something big for Valentine’s just for my babe.
    The meal for this annual event [...]

    Iran 2010 verus Iran 1979

    Thursday, February 11th, 2010

    31 years, 1 month and 5 days ago there was a revolution going on in Iran. The people clamored to the streets to protest, chanted to Allah, and wanted their freedom from their dictator and tyranny in their government. My family had been living there for 2 years. In one blink of [...]

    Mondays

    Monday, February 8th, 2010

    I love my Foodsaver. [...]

    From the Homestead

    Saturday, February 6th, 2010

    I like sales. I like sales on food. I really like sales on big hunks of meat. In particular I get giddy when I find beef of any kind on sale and I scored big time this week, twice.
    Score one, rib eyes at Brookshires for $3.99 a pound. Not crappy, fatty, gristle laden steaks, but [...]

    I could have wagered that

    Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

    Three nights in a row I’ve sat up waiting for Devon to sieze and three nights he has. This evening I was so tired and almost fell asleep when I heard the familiar repetitive pattern of noise coming from his room and actually got there before it fully kicked in. It was a bad one. [...]
