Yesterday I mentioned that I had a garden project going. Today I’d like to share it with you. I am working on a garden journal. It’s my plan to keep one every Spring and Fall. It will help me remember when I planted what, how it grew, how it produced, what varieties did well, what [...]
Butterflies!
About three weeks ago, we found this pretty caterpillar on the dill in our garden: We decided to keep him and see if he would turn into a butterfly. A couple of days later, we found a second. We kept him too. We had to keep feeding them dill ~ they ate and pooped like [...]
Checking in…
It’s been a while since a post, I know. Mama Train and I are actually working on a combined post about marriage, coming soon to a computer screen near you. Until then, you’re stuck with a few ramblings from me, Mama Tutu. I have been in a bit of a funk as of late. I’ve [...]
These things…
Were picked today from my back yard. Really! Me, the black-thumb of the family! The potatoes were the bomb-diggidy. Just thought you should know.
Comfort

Basic Crock Pot Red Beans and Rice
I should have gone to the grocery store this Sunday afternoon, but I took a nap instead. But before I crashed out onto the couch, I decided to hunt down something in the pantry to cook for supper. I found some brown rice and two cans of red beans, and this is what I came [...]
Growing Tomatoes
If you recall, this year I planted half of my tomato plants in the ground and half in containers. The plants I planted in the ground are doing great! You can see some here at the back of the path, and then a couple on the far left of the picture: Here is another garden [...]
F is for Flautas
The other day, I came across this recipe on Pinterest for Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas that I thought looked Yum-E. But, we live in a dry county and I didn’t have any beer, so I came up with a similar recipe that I’ll call: Mama Train’s Flautas 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I cooked [...]
