The signs that spring is here are pretty hard to miss. And even the most ardent change-haters have to smile when they see spring coming around again. Who wouldn’t like a season of clear, dry roads, moist soil good for planting, a brackets filled with 68 Cinderella story teams, and temperatures anyone can enjoy. The birds start to work as alarm clocks. The flying snooze buttons are making their northern migration back to their western nests. The top 68 teams in NCAA mens basketball are making t...
What a holiday! Beer infused into all the meals, even the desserts. “Warm beer and bread they say can raise the dead,” probably because “in heaven there is no beer.” Or at least the University of Wyoming student section think so. As long as they aren’t chanting ugly slurs about it. St. Patrick’s Day is a holy day of obligation for the faithful, and we are supposed to abstain from work and worry, and have suitable relaxation of the mind and body. Which is what I suppose leads many people to p...

If my oldest was given a fish for dinner, you can bet fish patties would not be on the plate. But tuna or salmon patties are healthy, inexpensive, quick and simple to make. All that said, this recipe will not find its way to my future daughter-in-law’s kitchen. The cheapest kind of fish are the ones you catch, and not as they are thrown at you at the fish market. Not that we have one of those nearby. Even though our tundra is still frozen, ice fishing is just as productive and entertaining as i...

They both lived in Nebraska for their high school years,...
There is a poem that has different translations and dialects about March. The poem from England goes, “March comes in with adders’ heads and goes out with peacocks’ tails.” I don’t know how many snakes we will see tomorrow, or even peacocks towards the end, but you can plant a few seeds of summer that will keep the snakes away and bloom like a peacocks tail. Starting seedlings inside really helps spring bounce our way quicker. Starting your own seeds will also save a little “dough” t...
It was a chilly crisp day I let my thoughts fade away. The water flows over my hands As I grab the wet fabric bands. The soap residue sticks to my skin My hands not as wrinkled as they could have been. When the clothes finish with the wash I run it through the wringers to be squashed. Those wood rollers pressed and turned with the wheel The clothes slid under like a reel. Then one day we bought a motor That turned the wheel over and over. All you had to do was slide the clothes under And listen...
I know you think I’m going to give you a recipe for cherry pie, as we all tend to associate cherries, particularly cherry trees with our first president. But just as the mid-19th century accounts detailing the first Thanksgiving feast were debunked as nationalism, Washington’s the cherry tree story has found its way into the national myth column. Folks back then felt the nation was divided and needed to “cut” a unified history if it was going to survive. It worked, or I wouldn’t have brought it... Full story
How do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love the scent of seasons mixed with melted butter. I love whipping egg whites with sugar to get fluff. I love how you fill my gut. I love food. I love my kids. Not the same way, of course. I could serve the kids up a serving of discipline, but never serve them up for dinner. Today, the loneliest, er, most romantic day of the year, it’s difficult to decipher the different types of love. Sort of like a novice in the kitchen trying to explain the d... Full story

Jack and Jackie Harbaugh’s boys are facing off in the most watched sporting event of the year. And it will be anything but easy. Jackie was quoted as saying, “One will win and one will lose, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t want a tie. Can the NFL do that?” The NFL may not provide a tie for the coaches’ mom in Super Bowl 47, but the recipes below will give you and your guests a reason to throw any diet out of bounds quicker than one of Jackie’s boys will throw in the red flag. From coast to... Full story

It seems everything can be dressed up in its’ Sunday best to be served on Super Bowl Sunday, for Oscar night or even to that special someone in their lunch pail. The sandwich is not to be left out. And in this season of watching not only the two best football teams compete and the best actors vie for gold, we tend to also watch the calories that nominate themselves for consumption. If you have put any effort into healthy eating, you already know some completely innocent looking foods can turn v... Full story

Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed and worked toward an America that was equal and free for all who lived within its borders.

Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What better way to warm your family and remember the battles many...
You didn’t think about the 400 calories a square of Grandma’s fudge. And forget about being mindful of the 1,800 calories on the plate at Christmas dinner or those parties where you munched 3,000 of the make-you -feel-good-now-but-later-regret calories. Sigh. You are not alone. Diet pills, systems and plans spend millions of dollars with marketing firms in December dreaming up ways to remind you in January of what you ate. Even if people don’t say it out loud, most of us are guilty of wanti...
In some conversations about the number of continents, many people count North and South America as one. Our land-mass sharing neighbors to the south have many spicy versions of Christmas tidings. But for the intent of making friends from neighbors, we say, “Nuestro continente es su continente.” The Americas do Christmas well. So well, that many who don’t believe in the reason for the holiday, celebrate Christmas. Maybe that is the way it is meant, to include as many as we can in the mirac...
