Can you believe it?  Thanksgiving is barely one short, little week away.  How did this happen?  I know that time marches on, but lately it feels like it’s been stampeding by!  I’ve been trying to plan my Thanksgiving menu, and it hasn’t been easy.  My problem isn’t deciding what to make for dinner, but rather what not to make.  Between my tried and true holiday dishes and all of the fabulous new recipes I’ve been finding on the web lately, I’m having a hard time narrowing the choices down to a manageable number.

Summers Last Hurrah

Sunday, September 6, 200921 Comments

Sadly but truly, the lazy days of summer have come to an end, for this year at least.  This Monday is Labor Day, founded in the United States over a hundred years ago as a “workingmen’s holiday”.  According to History.com, “As the Industrial Revolution took hold of the nation, …
