Breakfast Strata with Spinach & Gruyère on the Sabbath

Posted: Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 @ 9:23 am in Food | No Comments »

Sabbath rest Saturdays have become a new tradition for me. One day a week, I have a “me” day. No chores get done. No work gets done. No cooking is done, either. I sleep in. Sometimes I even take a nap in the afternoon.

I know. I’m a party animal.

Friday nights are now [...]

Thanksgiving 2009

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two months late. My only excuse is that I haven’t downloaded photos from our digital camera since September! I know that isn’t a very good excuse and I am endeavoring to use the camera more this year.

So for Thanksgiving (way back in November), I went home to see my family. Before [...]

Over the last couple of weeks, the same theme has been recurring: I have a control issue. As in, I have a hard time relinquishing control.

I know. What a shock. Hope you were sitting down.

People always talk about giving God control of your life. Theories abound on what that means and how to practice [...]

James Beard’s Pasta & Cheese Roll in Tomato Sauce

At the time, I had no idea who James Beard was. I just liked pasta and cheap cookbooks, and his was on a closeout shelf at a bookstore. I bought the book for just a few bucks and stuck it in my stack of cookbooks, and promptly forgot all about it.

Years later, I came [...]

I have too many websites. It probably doesn’t seem like too big of a deal since I’m not required to post anything anywhere, but I’m going through a season of examining all of the irons I have set out in different fires because, you know, I have a lot of them. This isn’t the first [...]

Happy New Year: 2010!

Just want to say Happy New Year to all of my family and friends. Like everyone else, I have just a couple of… well, I don’t know if I’d call them resolutions, per say. I equate resolutions with “giving up chocolate” (which you know I’m not going to do) and “losing 10 pounds” (I like [...]
