Sous Vide (Almost) All the Things!

Blather
September 2020
Just four months left of 2020. The end of summer is near and the leaves are turning where I live. The weather is still pretty hot but it’s cool in […]
New Carbon Steel Wok
I have a sort of nonstick wok, I’ve had it for about 10 years. It’s wok shaped and has a nonstick coating in it, but it also has a flat […]
Teddi Turns Eight Today!
Happy 8th birthday to my sweet little weird and wonderful ginger boy.
August 2020
I think it’s better that it is 2/3 of the way through this year and that the time is passing regardless of what is happening. I feel like every year […]
No Patio Garden 2020
No beautiful patio garden this year. We still sit outside, we set up the table and chairs with the umbrella and swept up most of the leaves and debris that […]
July 2020
It’s normally around this time of year I want to plan things like get-togethers in the park, or an outing to the river we’ve taken my granddaughter to for the […]
June 2020
I’ve been out of the house 2 times in the last 12 weeks. I’m both happy and scared about things reopening. I don’t know how things will ever be the […]
The Last Normal Day
How was Friday the 13th the last normal day? It seems like a really long time ago too. My hair is to my shoulders. I’ve not let it grow this […]
May 2020
I have some nice recipes to post for this month. I’ve stayed put, determined to ride this out, and make the best of things. I’ve been cooking and baking nearly […]
8 Year Blogiversary and My Birthday
8-years have gone by so fast! Another year, another birthday. So much as happened in the last year and I’ve tried to keep up with posting, looking for new stuff […]
April 2020
I want to stay positive. My family is safe, most people are know are safe. That’s positive. Three weeks and we’re still doing ‘Shelter in Place’ but I still have […]
Home
It’s been just a week since I packed up my stuff and went home to work. Home, home, and nothing but home. I’ve not been out of the house, not […]

March is carrots, carrots, carrots! I have 3 lovely carroty recipes to post and a few other things to share this month. Mmmmm, carrots! The weather in California is crazy. […]
February 2020
I keep starting all my posts with how shocked I am that time has gone by so fast, but January 2020 went by really fast! Most notably for me, I […]
Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
I wrote back in May of last year that I had purchased an air fryer (Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven) and I’m so glad I did. I use the hell […]
January 2020
I can hardly believe 2019 is gone, it went by so fast! I know I disappeared from my blog again. I kept thinking “I’ll get to it”, and I never […]
My New Kitchenaid & Meatgrinder/Sausage Accessory
I have wanted a Kitchenaid for about 30 or so years. It’s just never been the right time or I didn’t have the money, or space, or something. Always something. […]
Air Fryer + Air Fryer Fries
So, I bought an air-fryer but not just an air-fryer. I bought the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven! This thing is a beast. We ditched out toaster so we’d have […]
Blogiversary / Birthday Post
Yes, I changed my site again. I got the redesign it bug, and this seemed like a good time for changes. I needed to change the header of my site, […]
Happy Symbolic 50th Birthday Internet!
Apparently, there are a lot of days that might be considered as the birth date of the internet. Maybe not what most people think of when they think “internet”, but […]
Better Choices & Store Bought Time Savers
I like my food, that is no secret! These days I like to try and eat healthy most of the time. I do slip, I do grab a burger sometimes […]
Instant Pot + Sticky Rice
I got an instant pot! I’ve been using pressure cookers for 30 years, but this is so much easier. Plus, it doubles as a slow cooker. It’s allowed me to […]
Memoriam
Losing a pet is difficult, painful, and sad. It leaves a big void in your life and your heart. The chewed-up toys, the tufts of annoying fur on everything you […]
February 2019
I said I wasn’t going to do first of the month “what’s happening” posts this year, and that’s not what this is. It’s more of a, “I’m super busy and […]
January 2019
I’m not sorry to see the end of 2018. Surely things will be better in 2019? I know, I know, don’t call you Shirley. You’ve watched Airplane to many times! […]
December 2018
The last month of the year and my last Stuff & Things post of the year. I wish I could think of something to write but I don’t feel inspired […]
