Speaking of Recipes

Two of the best recipe books I have come across are not easy to find. One is written by Ruth at RuthLace. Recipes, Rhymes and Reflections. It contains some of her good down-south recipes as well as her poetry.

Another is written by Carol at
The Median Sib. This book is a collection of recipes from her family members and has some downright excellent recipes. The recipes are shared with just a dash of stories and personal accounts of memoriable meals.

You might check out
The Cozy Reader and her post suggesting a way to deal with the Christmas 'problem'. She also has an excellent post on the rising danger presented by President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

The America-hater Chavez continues to viciously stop any opposition against him and rally his people against the United States. I have heard lead Democrats say we should overlook his attitude towards America and instead look at Venezuela as an alternative oil source. So, it's just about getting their oil??

Joan at
DaddysRoses has a post about tacky Nativity Scenes. It's worth checking out. And while you are there, check out her Basketmaking for Gift-Giving

RuthLace has an excellent posts Christmas Wishes and a Chaplain's Report from Iraq.

AND, my brother
Terry has posted an actual recipe (I bet his wife and kids think that's a hoot! lol).

Okay - still reading. Will check back again in a while.

adios

Thanks for the link, Beth. Enjoyed your tale of your neighbors' efforts as decorating. We are still house-hunting. Know anybody selling?

The house across the street from me is for sell!

The new neighborhood just down the hill is building new houses - but it's pretty chi-chi. Not that you wouldn't want chi-chi, but they come with a chi-chi price :)
