    Early Spring Garden

    May 4, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I am the biggest geek ever. I finally got out for a run after several days of, well, not running and I am blissfully happy! Just me, a little Fleetwood Mac, and Prince. It was awesome. See? Geeksville! After I got back, I did a little garden walk-about to see…

    Weekend Fun on the Farm: Celebrating Miss A’s Confirmation

    May 2, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I missed my regular Sunday night post because I was simply wiped out from such a fun weekend on the farm with my family. (Well, that and I wanted to fully focus on the 2nd to the last episode of The Good Wife. I am in serious denial that the…

    High Five for Friday | Wine Time & Turkey School (What?)

    April 28, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Current temperature in Minnesota as I write this:  41 degrees. And raining. While the moisture is welcome for farmers (and gardeners), I am not a big fan of these March-like temperatures. (Oddly, I think March was warmer than April. Go figure.) And it’s been like this all week. But hope…

    Turkey Tuesday | Turkeycakes with Dijon Cream Sauce

    April 26, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Where do I even start with this one? Unexpected. Inspiring. Innovative. This recipe is all these things – and turkey needs to be this way, believe me.  Yes, turkey is Thanksgiving. And yes, turkey makes the best deli sandwiches. But turkey can be – and is – so much more,…

    Weekend Snaps | Earl the Pug

    April 24, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    T minus 25 minutes until The Good Wife, which means I’m short on time and, to be honest, completely lacking in exciting topics to write about at this particular moment. So instead, I bring you … Earl the Pug photos!  Did you know … Earl is named after Teacher Man’s football hero,…

    April 22, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I totally wanted to ditch work today and stay home to watch all the Prince coverage and tributes on TV. I was responsible, though, and instead DVR’ed CBS This Morning so I could at least watch the interview with Sheila E. later. I am also fairly sure you don’t need another…

    Turkey Tuesday: Southwest Turkey Chopped Salad

    April 19, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    The view outside my window on this Turkey Tuesday – gray, cloudy, slightly rainy, and cool – is whispering soup or mac-n-cheese or something comfort-y/warm. But I refuse to listen, people. It’s April and it’s spring and I’m in the mood for a light, crisp, salad with tons of protein,…

    Weekend Snaps | Rustic Garden

    April 17, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s late Sunday afternoon as I write this latest post. Teacher Man is napping, Joe is video gaming (Terraria, I believe), and Earl the Pug is trying to find a comfortable spot on the floor by my feet so that he catches some of the warm breeze coming through the…
