One of the weird things about blogs is the fact that you interact with other bloggers, hitherto unknown people, now vaguely known through what they share on their blogs and on yours. As you read their blogs, you develop a picture of what they may look like, what they do…Continue reading→
Catty Rolls
First – the disclaimer. No cats have been harmed in the writing of this post. God knows cats and I are sworn enemies, and there are days when I dream of a cat-free world, but I wish them no harm other than removal from an area measured by a radius…Continue reading→
Kebabs – Chicken
<I edited this recipe for chicken kebabs to deal with the limes. Check the recipe for italicized text. Where be italics, there be edits. Remember to attach your thank you note when you send me that dollar> If you are only interested in the actual recipe and have no interest…Continue reading→
