Last week I asked myself, “What glutinous food do I miss that I’d like to have back?”  And then I walked through a supermarket checkout, and my self anwered, “Twix bars.  The peanut butter kind.  You know, like you had with your lunch almost every day in high school.” 05 bars

My friend Ginny threw this together operating entirely on instinct, and it turns out she has really good instincts.  😀  If you want a sweet, cool salsa to use as a dip, side, or topping, here you go. mango salsa

Recently Canned PicklesHello again! Sorry for the unexpected week without a post, but things are oddly crazy around here for having nothing much going on.  We have been out and about a lot, though, and one of those little outings was to a farmer’s market.

These little chicken wraps were my answer to the question, “What do I do with all the fresh basil leaves I’m getting out of my garden?”  Because boy there’s a lot of it. SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA

I suppose it’s a good day when the worst thing that happens is your camera won’t hook up to your computer anymore, but it does mean nobody but me ever gets to see these lovely blueberry pancakes.  Don’t worry, even if you can’t see them, they’re still delicious.  🙂 Jocelyn posted natural-sugar pancakes a while
