On October 1, a friend and I started The Lord's Prayer by Lila's Studio. A friend and I already had it scheduled to begin on October 1, then I believe several others started it October 1 so there should be a few of these in progress. Usually, I start with the border and go from there. I had a few mistakes in this one . . too much football watching while stitching I suppose. I did ...
Quesabirria Tacos
I've mentioned here before that I wanted to make Quesabirria Tacos, often called Birria Tacos. I had never heard of them til last Fall when Chad asked me if I had ever had them. Nope . . don't even know what they are. He had them while in Detroit and he went on and on about how good they were. He made some and he said they were delicious but a pain to make. Later he said they weren't hard but they ...
Canned Carnita Meat
Yesterday after we finished eating the Carnitas, I started putting the leftover meat in jars and I was planning to put it in the fridge and have it over the next few days but there was going to be 3 quarts of it. That's too much to have in the fridge so I ended up canning it. Six pints of carnita meat! Here's how I will use these: Baked potatoes topped with meat, sour cream, cheese, ...

Yesterday when I was working in the sun room, I walked out on the deck a few times. A neighbor has a mini dachshund and a small Schnauzer and they were out in the fenced yard playing. They were ...
The Foraging Dog
Lately when I've taken Oscar out to the play yard, he will chase and fetch the ball for about 10 minutes but then he starts eating something on the ground and he totally loses interest in the ball. When he starts eating whatever it is, I put the leash on him and we go back in the house. Last night I was telling a friend about it and she said "I hope they aren't toxic". Yea . . me too! I asked ...
Carnitas
We love carnitas and when we were out shopping last week I grabbed two pork butts. Friday I cut one up, seasoned it, spread it on a large backing sheet, covered it and cooked it about three hours at 300. That night, I took it out, drained a good bit of the fat off and stuck it in the fridge. Then yesterday morning, I took the meat out, shredded it, added a bit more seasoning and roasted it ...
