Yard, Garage, Tag, Rummage, or a White Elephant Sale
Mr. Picky-eater has decided it is time to have our annual yard sale. People know our address now and anticipate it every year, or so they tell us. We have become so successful, my daughter and I wrote an eBook about it – The Garage Sale Guide to Greatness –. We do things very differently…
Twinkie Cake = True Love!
My daughter says I shouldn’t post a recipe of a recipe I got from The Country Cook’s site and because it’s not mine. Well….1. As domestically impaired, there are not going to be a whole lot of recipes that are mine, and 2. I’m going to give the writer of said recipe full credit and…
Fried Pickles a Southern Delicacy
Have you ever tried fried pickles? Mr. Picky-Eater loves them. They are widely available here in Oklahoma at many different venues, most notably Sonic. Sonic Drive-In was started in 1953 in Shawnee, Oklahoma – coincidentally where Brad Pitt was born and many family members still live – and now, Sonic is the largest drive in…

Blogger Etiquette
A few weeks ago I threw a party at my home. In preparation, I cleaned, organized, baked and even practiced making light conversations. On the appointed day, several people arrived and casually seated themselves in my living room. Because a few of us knew each other very well we carried on conversation easily and tried…
Happy Cinco de Mayo and Birthday!
Today is Cinco de Mayo AND our oldest son’s birthday. Mr. Picky Eater and I have been married just shy of seven years and we each brought children with us – although they were already pretty much grown. I brought my daughter, our oldest and he brought two sons: the one turning 25 today and the…
Tangy Glazed Pork Loin
A few weeks ago, I went to the freezer and noticed I had 2 pork loins about to expire. I made Chili Verde with one, which I posted and was featured on Weekend Potluck # 15. I didn’t know what to do with the other one. I cruised over to The Country Cook on Facebook…
