I’m always looking for new shrimp recipes. To me, it’s the most versatile seafood. One of the best things about it is that freezing doesn’t affect its quality. There’s a huge difference between fresh and frozen fish, but shrimp tolerate freezing well. Sprouts Market often has two-pound bags of jumbo…

It’s an odd day here. The hurricane in the gulf isn’t really causing any problems for us, just some rain squalls and enough wind to keep the wind chimes ringing continuously. But it’s dreary, and I’m home alone. So I decided to bake bread. I haven’t baked bread in years,…

How often do you walk or run? I Today’s prompt is making me feel guilty, because I haven’t been out for a walk this morning. While I try to get out five days a week for at least 30 minutes, I’ve failed miserably at that goal this week. Either Ken…

One of the things you realize as you get older is that you have too much stuff. Ken and I have been coming face to face, over the past few years, that we’ve accumulated a lot of things through our 50+ years of marriage that we no longer need, and…
