The first day of spring just passed which means acuppula things.
1. Turkey season has arrived.
2. I'm preparing a turkey brine for that elusive ol' gobbler that is in my future.
3. I have a new friend.
4. I have a new friend.
The timing of this couldn't be more perfect because I really do need more friends. I…
As you know, I flew to New York at the peak of a major snow storm last week. I went from spring day to winter wonderland in six hours.
All the power in my hometown was out. The snow was so heavy that massive trees were dropping branches left and right. In some cases whole trees…
Ever heard that Regina Specktor song? It's one of my favorites. This morning I was "on the radio, on the radio..." and I didn't stutter too much. High five for me.
In case you slept in this morning and missed it, here's the radio interview with Joel Shangle's "Northwest Wild Country," on Sportsradio, 950 KJR in…
I'm taking matters into my own hands. After yesterday's post, no one asked for a lesson in preserving their fruit. I'm deeply hurt. Just kidding. I'm going to teach you anyway. Because I love you. Even if you don't love me. That's just the way it is.

I hate coyotes. They offer nothing and take everything.
On the plane ride two days ago I was watching a news story…
Loretta has had quite a colorful life in her seven months as a bird. As you remember, she started out as the one "rare breed" sent to us in the little box with all the other Rhode Island Reds that arrived at the post office. She was called a "Buff Laced Polish Chicken" and she…
Guess what this is...
I'll give you one clue...
It's not a leotard.
Okay, I'll give you another clue...
Now guess?
Okay, okay, geez, one more clue!
Red quinoa!!!
If you've never heard of it before, you're not alone. It's been slowly rising to stardom recently but hasn't reached full celebrity status yet. It's a grain-like crop grown for its edible seeds.…
Say that 20 times fast.
I made a soufflé. I was determined. I had a 102 degree fever and I made a souffle nonetheless. That should tell you how determined I was.
So although this may seem like a strange journey with strange pictures taken by a semi-delirious girl, I can guarantee you will see a soufflé…
