Something To Crow About! Only The Good Friday

March 6, 2009

Sunday mornings were my favorite part of the week when I was a child. We got up early and scrubbed for church (no I didn’t like that part). Usually, before we went to worship, we ate a quick breakfast of milk toast, which is exactly what it sounds like with a little sugar [...]

Only The Good Friday. Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

January 2, 2009

In mid-November, I was half-listening to a daytime television show. I don’t remember what show, and I don’t remember the name of the doctor being interviewed. However, she said something that caught my attention.
She listed five things to add to your diet that could lower your cholesterol as much as 30%, [...]

My “Cholesterol Fix”

September 16, 2008

I briefly considered becoming a vegetarian this weekend. That resolve lasted almost fifteen minutes. I was thinking about it because the doctor says I need to lower my cholesterol. I figure that it’s time to worry if she looks at the test results and says something like, “How are you alive?”
The sad [...]

Thursday Thirteen #46: Cholesterol, Crochet, and Country Music

July 31, 2008

No, they don’t have anything to do with each other. However, all are on my mind this week, as well as a lot of other things. I’ve been doing a lot of “pondering and piddling” this week, y’all. I’ve had plenty of time to think, because I’ve been all by my lonesome.

I Have To Get On The Ball

June 3, 2008

The Magic Number is:

Yes, I said 349.
Now, if I were playing baseball (and if I were a batter), that wouldn’t be an embarrassing batting average. I think. I don’t really know, because I don’t understand baseball. I don’t get the point of the [...]

Bacon Lust

May 13, 2008

After a day of toiling (telling stories), I came home to discover that my husband was going out to a business dinner. That didn’t bother me too much, because it meant I didn’t have to move off my lazy rear to cook.
Then I found out that the suppliers were taking him to [...]

Bacon Quest

March 25, 2008

I had a vision. There was applewood smoked bacon sizzling in my black iron skillet. I could smell aroma of the bacon, I could hear it pop, I could almost taste it! It was so real!
Now, this sent me into a tizzy, because in reality I didn’t have any applewood [...]

Feeling My Oats

February 26, 2008

Everything I read about oatmeal suggests that it is a wonderful way to start the day.

People who eat breakfast in the morning are more likely to be able to keep their weight lower.
The anti-oxidants in oats are supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Some say that the fiber in oats is supposed to help with hemorrhoids, constipation, [...]

Oven Fried Catfish Is Dadgum Tasty

February 8, 2008

If you have been around this blog before, you may be aware that I am a woman who loves bacon. I am a Texan, and we fry. Therefore, I prefer my food fried in bacon grease. I mean to tell you that even Brussel sprouts are palatable wrapped in bacon and deep [...]

Faux The Love Of Bacon

November 24, 2007

My sister sooo lied to me.
I knew she was capable of doing so from past experience (we go back a long way). However, I had hoped that in her age she would stop prevaricating. It was a vain hope. You would think that after fifty-some-odd years I would have the good sense [...]
