A Promise Made, a Promise Delivered

Date August 30, 2009

When I announced the happy winner, I said I would put all the recipes on one page and I have kept that promise. They are in the order that they were submitted and, later, I’ll go back and index them. I don’t know about yours, but my round tuits only come as single use items [...]

This Week with Tommie

Date August 29, 2009

Doesn’t have quite the ring that “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” has but it will have to do. Speaking of George, he is such a cutie and one of those perennially young human beings, sorta like Dick Clark used to be. He must have good genes. But this is supposed to be about my week, [...]

Someone Else’s Garden: Dehydrating Tomatoes

Date August 27, 2009

With my own tomatoes toast, I was thrilled to get Romas from a friend’s garden. She had more than she could handle and was glad to pass them along. I’d thought about buying Roma tomatoes to dehydrate because sun dried tomatoes are a basic ingredient in many raw vegan recipes. Actually, they are used in [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part LXXXVII, The World Traveler

Date August 25, 2009

D (Departure) Day had come and I was as nervous as anyone. I hated to drive anywhere near Atlanta (Roger would tell me about now not to use the word “hate” because that’s a negative emotion. You got that right!) but I had to do it. There was no other way. DIL1 had never driven [...]

Announcing the Winner of the Second Awesome Rawsome Giveaway!

Date August 23, 2009

Three weeks ago saw the beginning of the second giveaway on Awesome to be Rawsome. Over the following two weeks, there were 21 qualifying entries with lots of new recipes submitted. Some of the entries had more than one recipe—one even had three! How, you ask, do you choose who is to get the beautiful [...]

My Week: Too Sweet Mango??

Date August 22, 2009

I didn’t know such a creature existed but it does—or they do. The first time I encountered one was last Sabbath. I know, I know. I didn’t blog about it that night. I had so much to write that I didn’t even think of it then but I’ve had several since and that put a [...]

My Square Foot Garden: Harvest!

Date August 20, 2009

I wasn’t planning to do a post about gardening tonight but here I am, doing exactly that. Makes me realize how quickly my direction can change. All the twists and turns of life. I was inspecting the progress of the watermelons when I discovered the stem had died on this one: It looks like it’s [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part LXXXVI, Off to Spain!

Date August 18, 2009

There was no way on God’s green earth that I was going to be able to pay the child’s airfare to Spain. It was one thing to fly her back and forth to California but Spain was many times farther than that and across an ocean, to boot. God had His hand in it, though, [...]

Remembering Mother

Date August 16, 2009

Living in Arkansas 105 years ago tonight, Miss Minnie was Great with Child. It was her second one, the first being a boy born 10 years before. She was still a young woman. As I remember it, she’d had Floyd when she was 15 after getting married at age 13 to Dow, nine years her [...]

My Week Without and With

Date August 15, 2009

Sunday Well, here I am. No Internet and I’m having withdrawal. I keep thinking of things I need to do online but then I think—there’s no way to do them! I went out to the car and got my Bible and quarterly (Sabbath School lesson study guide published four times a year) since I can’t [...]
