Dinners of note! I made a big pot of chili to have on a cold night and saved half for a new mama I went to visit. This soup contained beef, pinto beans, lentils, frozen corn, frozen greens and canned tomatoes, plus chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Loved the addition of lentils, and the [...]

My trip from Alexandria to Cville was great. I’m listening to Water For Elephants on audio book from Audible.com. Liking it so far! Sadly [...]
