    Turkey Tuesday – Instant Pot Turkey Enchilada Soup

    March 20, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    First things first: I’ve spent approximately 3.75 hours over the past 2 nights working on an email issue at home that wasn’t Spectrum’s fault or Microsoft’s fault or Apple’s fault. Tonight, I tried deleting and adding back in our email account to Apple Mail ONE MORE TIME and suddenly, it…

    I’m tired. It’s 8:35 p.m. and it feels like at least 11 p.m.  I think it’s because this week has been killer at work. This is not a complaint – it’s just fact. Our biggest week of the year – the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention – starts next Monday and…

    San Diego, Rumchata, a Turkey Recipe, and Procrastination

    March 1, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Welcome to my randomness again! It’s Thursday night and I should be working. I have 11 days until my organization’s annual convention week starts in Minneapolis and I have a litany of items on the to-do list that still need tackling. So. Many. Things. But here I am procrastinating –…

    Trying to make sense of this crazy world

    February 16, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been an emotionally draining week, given the news coming out of Florida. It all seemed to hit me today. Perhaps it was the slowdown of Friday afternoon. I don’t know. But when my son texted me an hour before school was out – “Mom, can you pick me up…

    Turkey Tuesday: Slow Cooker Turkey Meatball & Tortellini Soup

    February 13, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m back with my first Turkey Tuesday recipe post in a looooooooong time! I was actually on a flight to Atlanta when I wrote this, which apparently is the only way to get uninterrupted time so I can blog. It’s almost like I’m doing work … I was headed to…

    Health Insurance Plans & Healthy Food Discounts

    February 11, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I was sitting at the kitchen counter this morning, enjoying my breakfast of cranberry pomegranate juice and a blueberry Pop Tart (no judging – I don’t have these everyday), innocently reading the Star Tribune when this headline caught my eye: Insurance plans push healthier choices at grocery store Interesting, I…

    Random Update #567

    February 6, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I should be working right now. I have so. much. to. get. done. But alas, it’s 9:05 p.m. and I just want to blog some randomness. Is that so wrong? 1) I may have ordered two new pairs of shoes tonight. I know, I know — like I need more…

    An Update from the #BoldNorth!

    February 4, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s never a good sign when you send a video chat message to your mother and she responds with, “You look tired, dear. You need another nap.” đŸ˜‰ Although in this case, it means that the past week+ has been full of amazing and awesome experiences so perhaps it’s really…
