This trend is sad news indeed. There are rarely enough check-outs open and many of them are slow. I still have to un-cart, sometimes bag, and then re-cart my items. Except for the scanning, I’m self-serving anyway—without the slowdown of … Continue reading
For those of us whose local ancestry goes back to colonial days, chile is part of who we are. This year’s chile crop has been outstanding…and we are basking in its quality. Continue reading
The local Albuquerque Tortilla Company (ATC) that, in my not so humble native New Mexican opinion, made the only store-bought flour tortilla that could be described as something worth eating has been bought out by multinational GRUMA, S.A.B. de C.V. (Monterrey, Mexico), sellers of Mission Tortillas Continue reading
Clearly I haven’t devoted enough time to studying the ins and outs of pistachiocity. When pistachio nuts explode.

One of the things that tends to go missing in a vegetarian diet is beef gravy (yeah, go figure). Generally speaking, this isn’t a problem, but if you have something like mashed potatoes, you can start feeling like the odd person out. Continue reading

I’ve been missing tuna salad. It’s almost a staple dish in my house since I was a kid, long before my vegetarianism entered the picture. Every summer, I’ve looked on as family members have indulged. No more. I was going to make a veggie tuna salad. Continue reading

Since my birth anniversary is coming up soon, a subset of the Scotts* treated me and Jamie to a celebratory dinner. A nice evening was definitely had. Continue reading
As Emperor Overlord of the United States, my days are full. I mean really full. You think you’re busy. That’s nothing in comparison. I try to leave it to the Washington branch to take care of the details, or even leave it up to all y’all to use common sense to fix things. So I can’t begin to convey how miffed I am that I have to take time away from playing Pop Answers on Facebook to deal with this schoolyard stuff. Continue reading
