    The Big Event & Post-Hibernation

    March 20, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s taken me 72 hours of mini-hibernation but I think I’m finally catching up on my sleep. Last Monday I took off for Saint Paul, where my office started set up for the 45th annual Midwest Poultry Federation Convention – the largest show focused solely on the poultry industry in…

    Weekend Snaps: The Calm Before the Storm

    March 12, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I find myself sitting in our porch tonight under two of the most unlikely scenarios: The window is open on this crazy beautiful – warm! – March evening. I am all by myself. Well, not counting Earl the pug, who is snoring at my feet. But there is no Teacher…

    Turkey Tuesday: Pasta Fagioli with Turkey Sausage

    March 8, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I love soup.  Oddly, though, this has not always been the case. Years ago, I rarely made soup at home, unless it was chili – and even then, Teacher Man is the true chili maker in our house.  But somehow as I’ve gotten older and found myself enjoying being in…

    Weekend Snaps: And How Was Your Weekend?

    March 6, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Sunday night, folks, and I have very few photos from the weekend to share. I realize this may be surprising, considering I have about 4,000 photos on my iPhone, but it is what it is.  Instead, I’m going to share this photo of my favorite Facetime buddy, my niece…

    Turkey Tuesday: Creamy Turkey Ham Pasta Bake

    March 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Tuesday is back, baby! I’ve missed a few weeks because of work commitments and my travel schedule, but I’m excited to share a new turkey pasta recipe that I tried over the weekend. It’s another comfort food entree (I know, I know – of course!) that Teacher Man and…

    Weekend Snaps | I Miss You Guys!

    February 28, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Oh my word, I absolutely can’t stand it when I don’t have the time to blog regularly.  If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have caught this picture I took last week – captioned, “What I feel like when I don’t have time to blog!”  And it’s true.…

    How I Met Teacher Man

    February 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My mother gave me many good pieces of advice as I was growing up. I’d like to think I followed her direction on most occasions; that her insight has, in part, gotten me where I am today. There is one piece of advice, however, that I didn’t follow and it was…

    High Five for Friday!

    February 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m torn about being super excited it’s almost the weekend and super panicked because – oh my God, it’s the weekend but I have about a zillion things to do at work between now and mid-March and how in the world is it all ever going to get done? Did…
