I took such great pictures of exactly how to do this jerky and I cannot figure out how to insert them throughout the post! When I get it down, I will put them all in. In the meantime I can put in the recipe and a picture of the finished product. It is so tasty…

Parrothead Jerky
My husband was very happy to wake up this morning to the aroma of tequila and lime. We aren’t big drinkers although we both enjoy margaritas and I love local wines….mostly I love visiting local wineries and tasting! My husband, the parrothead, loves margaritas and anything else associated with the Jimmy Buffett lifestyle. I will…
Tale of an eBook
I love the new term “indie author” and I think I may become one. Two years ago, I wrote a book about canning, gardening and a few recipes that I have gathered over the years. I tried so hard to get an agent to no avail. That’s not really a bad thing because many famous…
Restaurant-Style Chicken Wings at Home!
My husband and I LOVE chicken wings both hot and bar-b-q. They can be very expensive at restaurants and besides, my husband is one of those people who does not like to go out to eat, especially chicken. He had a bad food-poisoning incident eating chicken at a restaurant once and refuses to order it…
Dreaming of Summer
Today the temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit in the early afternoon. Too cold for Oklahoma! It has been cold all weekend. This cold weather has been perfect for wearing hoodies.

Stew Fresh from the Garden
It has been so hot for so long here, my husband and I have only had cold meals for the last 16 days. Yesterday morning I went to the garden and picked tomatoes, potatoes and onions. Those are about the only veggies making it through this heat wave/drought. While I really wanted a hot meal,…
It is going to be a corny weekend!
Late July always reminds me of sitting on my nana’s porch shucking corn. I really hated it at the time but now it brings me great memories. My very last memory of shucking corn with her was in 1982. She was 80 and her porch was the size of the entire front of the house…
How to Smoke Peppers the Easy Way
I thought that if I could smoke Cheese I could smoke some chile peppers and sure enough, I did! It was sooooo easy too! You can smoke all sorts of peppers with very little work or cost if you don’t own a smoker. What?!?!? What do you mean I can smoke peppers if I don’t…
