Tone Poem Tuesday
One of the eternal questions in relating to art is how to separate one’s feeling for the art from one’s feelings for the artist. This is not the least bit new; it’s a problem that is probably as old as … Continue reading
A Halloween Safety Message
As a former Pizza Hut employee who spent four consecutive Halloweens becoming a nervous wreck driving pizza deliveries around town, please allow me to appeal to your humanity on this matter: DO NOT ORDER PIZZA DELIVERY TONIGHT!!! Seriously. Just don’t. … Continue reading
Chili, done MY way! (A repost)
With the arrival of cooler weather comes the appetite for hearty crock-pot dishes, and a favorite of ours is good old chili! As I write this, the chili is crockpotting away in the kitchen; as you read this, we’ve already … Continue reading
