Month: August 2007

Where did summer go? How is it that we are already at the threshold of the last weekend of summer, and the school year is knocking? Wow. I’m a little bummed. We’ve had a very nice summer, combining busy-ness with lazyness and the kids have been playing together rather remarkably. […]

Chicken thighs are one of those things that I never used to purchase. When I bought chicken it was in one of three ways. It was either whole, whole and cut up or it was chicken breasts. On a very rare occasion we would pick up a package of wings, […]

I love green salsa. I learned to make it a few years ago from a variety of sources, but I simply do not make it often enough. I have been seeing green salsa more and more on store shelves, but it is really not the same as making your own […]

With all the produce going in and out of the kitchen, this past week we discovered that the fruit flies had decided to make their home here. Not many, but where there are few, many usually are not far behind. This meant that a bunch of nicely browned bananas needed […]

I’m contemplating my current method of posting about recipes here on Tummy Treasure and posting the actual recipe in the Recipe Trove. I like it because it keeps all of my recipes together in one place, but I’m wondering if I should put the recipes here on Tummy Treasure too. […]

Yesterday while school shopping, we wandered down the lunchbox aisle in search of a thermos for Abigail. I have to say, lunchboxes have come a long way in just a few years. If we didn’t have the laptop lunchbox already, it would have been hard to choose from. But we […]

I’m trying really hard to get into that frame of mind. Man, I tell you, we have been enjoying summer. Lazy mornings, rolling out of bed when we feel like it, sitting around in our jammies until 9 or 10 in the morning, and really doing whatever we want. Sadly, […]

Yesterday as I chased a fruit fly away from my ginormous bowl of pears, I realized he’d be back with his friends if I didn’t do anything with these pears. I initially had been thinking of quick breads or muffins, but as I looked through recipe after recipe, they really […]

Yesterday I had planned Indian food for my birthday dinner. On Monday though it was cool enough to bake, so I had baked up a pair of loaves of bread, and there was one sitting on the counter yesterday when I woke. It seemed a shame to not utilize that […]

Yesterday I had a wonderful surprise show up on my doorstep. A package arrived for me from Pittsburgh, and I knew right away it would hold some fantastic treasure. April from Cookworm drew my name for this summer’s Blogging By Mail, organized by Stephanie from Dispensing Happiness. This round was […]

How is it that I am the mother of a seven year old?! Where did all that time go? It’s been a wonderful seven years, and I’m looking forward to the next seven. Happy Birthday sweet princess! This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.
