Fast Sunday Brunch

By |2018-08-05T19:16:50-05:00August 5th, 2018|appetizers, breakfasts, cakes, salads|0 Comments

Fast Sunday. It’s probably not in the spirit of things to stuff ourselves once the fasting is over. But, to our credit, we feasted with half dozen fruits in this Glazed Fruit Bowl. And we added just as many vegetables to the Brunch Strata. (We won’t mention that it also called for cream and cheese and cream cheese.) We even ate fruit in the [...]

After Long Resistance, Blogger Gives In

Have you seen this post in your Facebook feed? It comes up in mine All. The. Time. It's pure torture. Every week or so during the winter, we declare a Donut Day around here. I walk into the bakery and if there's one thing I want to buy, it's maple bars.  Too often, they don't have them. On the other hand, too often [...]

Chunky Monkey Pancakes

By |2017-06-25T17:37:06-05:00June 25th, 2017|breakfasts|0 Comments

I’m reading a long book this week. So let’s talk about breakfast. It’s nice when breakfast is more special than that same old bowl of Cheerios. It’s nice when breakfast is at dinner time. It’s really nice when breakfast includes chocolate. If you feel the same way, maybe you’d like to make Chunky Monkey Pancakes. [...]

Camper’s Breakfast Hash

By |2017-01-10T21:59:16-05:00January 10th, 2017|breakfasts, main dishes|0 Comments

  Camper's Breakfast Hash made an easy Saturday night supper. I know it's supposed to be a breakfast food. And yes, I've recently become a morning person, but I wouldn't carry that kind of thing so far as to feed people in the morning. So, breakfast at suppertime it is. Here are the ingredients: The hash browns were supposed to be the freely-shredded kind, but they [...]

Ten For One!

By |2016-12-29T23:56:14-05:00July 31st, 2016|breakfasts, good fiction, main dishes, Uncategorized|0 Comments

I’m reading a door-stopper of a book that’s taking me two weeks. But don’t worry, I still have reading ideas for you. Here’s a post about developing a canon of Mormon literature. It’s intended for scholars and critics — “Mormon literary critics need something to criticize” — but includes a list of ten Mormon-themed books. Ten for one! Just like a big sale week at your [...]

Now is Your Chance to Educate Me

Today is Rosanne Cash day. I’m listening to her on Pandora, in hopes that I’ll “get it.” I just read her memoir, Composed, and I can at least offer this lukewarm praise: 1) Some of us take awhile to find ourselves. Some of look for ourselves in New York and Paris. Some of us have a Daddy who pays the hefty rent while we spend [...]

Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone?

What would your family do if you keeled over dead? How would they fill in the hole? What would they have to learn to do, and in a hurry? If I went poof, I expect my family would say things like: “Why do we keep running out of toilet paper?” “So, so tired of mac ‘n cheese/scrambled eggs/hamburgers.” “My goodness, is that an inch of [...]

Send the Butler Home

So who’s your celebrity weakness? Whose face, airbrushed onto the cover of People Magazine, moves you to pluck this week’s copy from the grocery store newsstand and give up $3.00? Or to click on their pictures when you ought to be folding laundry? Is it the British Royals? I wouldn’t blame you. I’m fond of them myself, even if I haven’t checked in lately on [...]

Those Crazy Dreamers

By |2014-11-17T17:46:24-05:00December 8th, 2013|breakfasts, good nonfiction, sandwiches|2 Comments

I used to have a powerful People Magazine habit.  I kicked it, much to the relief of my husband. But I remember what I liked best about it--story after story of people who clung to their crazy dreams.  Much to the consternation of all who knew and loved them, they threw their all into making jewelry, or raising ostriches, or singing in backwater bars in [...]

My Holocaust Education

The first thing I saw on the SMU campus was the fountain, a golden ring of water and light in the night air.  The next morning, it was the buildings, topped with domes, borne up by columns.  They were so different than BYU's, less boxy, more like something plucked off the shores of the Potomac River and transplanted to the gummy clay soil of Texas.The [...]
