I have always had a bit of an addiction to magazines and often scour the newsstand for the release of a few of my favourites! Do you sometimes find yourself doing this too? Honestly, for a few reasons, I had recently cut back on my magazine obsession. At $6.00 or $7.00 an issue and often much more, it was becoming a bit of an expensive habit. There is the "green" factor too. I shudder to think of the trees that die each year so people like me, can read up on the latest news, gossip, fashion … [Read more...]

Over the years I have tried to recreate this dessert but have never had any luck. Grammie cooked on a woodstove/oven and I think that may well be the element I am missing. I also have fond memories of my dad coming home for lunch and after the noon meal he … [Read more...]
