Way back in 2018, one of my earliest posts was for Country Corned Beef Hash and Dirty Fried Eggs. Before I shared the recipe, I posted a picture on Face Book of my breakfast and got a lot of questions about Dirty Fried Eggs.

A Delicious Saturday Morning

It’s hard to write hello to another beautiful day when I know so many out there, through no fault of their own, wonder what the heck is so great about today. It’s hard to think positively when my heart continues to break for people I have never met, and probably never will.

Appetizers on the Run

On the National Front, today is both Bootlegger’s Day and Hot Buttered Rum Day. Yeah, I know a great pairing of booze with booze. On the Church Calendar today is the Feast Day of Saint Anthony.

Just Because It’s Wednesday

When selecting a Chuck Roast for supper, I like to think ahead. Groceries these days are expensive enough. If we can get a hunk of meat that will provide a nice Sunday Supper with plenty left over for later in the week, that’s always a good stretch of the food dollar.

Let’s Fry the Bread

More years ago than I care to admit, Hubby and I took a research vacation through Wyoming and Montana. I was interested in learning first-hand about the Indian Wars that raged through the Plain States at the end of the Civil War.

A Simple Breakfast that Became an Adventure

Twenty five years ago Hubby and I bought a simple stainless steal refrigerator to keep in the garage of our Las Vegas Home. When we returned to California, that same refrigerator came with us. It served as our only refrigerator for years.

Over the Moon Delicious!

The actual translation of Torta de Chorizo is Chorizo Cake. There is no word for Omelette in Spanish, the closest translations would be Tortilla, which is not an omelette at all.

Let Us Pray

California is my home state. While I have never lived in SoCal, throughout the years it has been home to family and friends, a place I’ve visited often.

Just Thinking Ahead

I know what you are thinking, it’s Friday – where’s our fish supper? Sometimes we need to post early, think ahead. The weekend is coming. Wouldn’t a nice supper be welcomed?

An All-Day Simmer

Hubby and I have been together for nearly 40 years now. That’s a lot of suppers shared together. In all those years, with all those meals, he has always let me know what he’s thought of dinner.

Have a Little Faith

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, unlike other Marian Devotions that revolve around a vision or appearance of our Blessed Mother, is a devotion born of a promise. She is best known for the outcome of the Battle of New Orleans.
