The elderberry supply looks to be endless at this point. I’ve now made elderberry jam, elderberry syrup #1, and elderberry syrup #2. Yup, two kinds of elderberry syrup. Like Thing 1 and Thing 2, same difference. One for mixing into drinks and one for medicinal use. I also made Pontack Sauce #1. And Pontack Sauce #2. And yet there are still many more harvestable berries out there! I suppose I’ll leave the rest to the birds once I get tired of processing them. If you ever want an ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #446
The elderberries in my backyard are ripening, which is pretty remarkable considering they went from flowers to ripe berries in just 2 short months. Now the question is... what to do with them?

Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when flour and yeast were scarce? Btw, is this pandemic thing still going on or not? Who knows, right?!

It’s not 777, which is the luckiest number in the world, but it’s not 666 either, lol. That number (666) is probably the unluckiest one. Anyway, I thought it was appropriate to celebrate this milestone. And celebration means Indian food! Fortunately, there’s finally an Indian restaurant in town. It’s ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #443
It’s fajita time! So declared the husband. Not so much in words, but by coming home with heat-and-eat chicken fajita. Hmm... looks like he’s been at it again... going to Sam’s Club for sample offerings and getting hooked. We used to do that together until a couple of years ago when I decided not to renew our membership. I didn’t miss it, to be honest. But they had this incredible deal recently where they slashed their membership fee by... oh I dunno, by a lot. So now once again we’re ... continue reading...
