Contrary to appearances, I have not gone poof into the blogosphere.

The edited version . . . we put our house on the market in May, feeling like we had missed the window for selling it this spring, but nothing to lose.  It sold in five days!  Within 10 days we had found the house we wanted.  And now six weeks to the day after it was listed, we will have sold a house in one Texas city, bought one—that needs renovation—in another Texas city; packed up and moved 200+ miles.

Just to make it interesting, John still has eight weeks before retirement in City # 1; my mom will be moving at the end of July to City # 2; and we had planned a short “girls vacation” in June since nothing would be happening that soon.

Did I mention that the house we bought needs “updating”?  As in the original 1981 kitchen, complete with blue-and-pink wallpaper, needs to go?

All I can say is that it has been chaos.  I will be back to posting in mid-July and post the last three menus.  Maybe I’ll do a series on Healthy Eating When You Have No Kitchen.  I’ve definitely got the Really Quick thing down.  Just a thought.

Take care . . .

We’re back!  And these improved digs should look both new and familiar.  The same posts, links, menus, categories, but here’s the quick tour.

First, you’ll notice the Print This Recipe link at the bottom of posts which contain recipes; and we’ll use it occasionally for other posts, such as menu descriptions.  Try the link at the bottom of this post to see what a printed version will look like.

Second, we’ve made it easier to subscribe.  If you’re an old hand at this, use the RSS icon on the right side of the navigation bar at the top.  It will work as it generally does in blog land.  If this blog stuff is still a little strange for you or if you would like to get an email alert when there is a new post, click on Subscribe in the top navigation bar to see both options.

You probably noticed that you were re-directed from the old blog address.  The re-direct will be there for a bit, but you’ll want to update your bookmarks, so you have the new one for this website.  Likewise, if you are currently using a blog reader.

As for photographs?  Just wait!  As soon as I figure out how to crop, we’ll be in business.  Right now the pics are showing up lifesize.  Heh.

We’ve been playing with this for a few days, and all seems to be in working order.  If you run into any problems, just let us know in the comments to this post.  Or you can email at

It’s always great to hear from you.

The make-over is almost ready.  Just wanted to let you know that we will be off-line for an hour or two sometime in the next week for conversion, possibly as early as tomorrow.

I’ll point out the fun new stuff as soon as we are in our new digs.
