    Town Meets Countryside.

    August 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I live in Buffalo, Minnesota, a community of about 15,000 people that’s a short drive to the suburbs of Minneapolis. I don’t consider Buffalo a suburb in the true sense, however; it’s a town with a long history and its own personality. And from our home, we can see horses, cows (both…

    Sweet Corn Risotto

    August 23, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’d like to share a few observations from the course of the past few days or so. These will be random observations, so if you were hoping to read a well-constructed blog post tonight, you’re a bit out of luck. My brain is just not working that way right now. 😉…

    Find a Farmer at the Minnesota State Fair!

    August 19, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m sitting here eating a big bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. Which makes me think about dairy farmers. Which leads me to thoughts of the completely amazing malts (hot fudge, please!) at the Minnesota State Fair. Which brings me to this blog post. You know, about farmers…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Meatloaf Muffins

    August 18, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    As I write this, the outdoor thermometer reads 63 degrees and it’s gray and kind of rainy. Perfect, I suppose, for Turkey Meatloaf Muffins. However, flashback three days and I was in Hawaii, gazing in awe for the thousandth time at Ka’anapali Beach, feeling the 85 degree sunshine on my…

    Let Hawaii Happen.

    August 10, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

      You may not hear from me for a while but I have a good excuse. It’s called vacation. We’re in Hawaii – Teacher Man and Joe, along with my parents. Lots of memory making! Today it’s all about Kaanapali Beach in Lahaina, Maui. We’ll also do some sightseeing when…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers

    August 4, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This is what you would call a “semi-guest post” – in that, my mom made these Turkey Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers a few days ago and took all the pictures while I’m doing all the writing. It’s a team effort for turkey! Ha – okay, sorry, not sorry. 😉 …

    Your chicken is not going to China & back.

    August 3, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You guys, I can’t take it anymore. I keep seeing these random posts every week on social media about how U.S. chicken is being shipped over to China for processing and then exported back to the U.S. Some posts go so far as to say that companies like Tyson are…

    A Few Weekend Favorites

    August 2, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m not in a writing mood tonight. I don’t know why. I mean, it is a little – okay, a lot –  weird for me to say that. But rather than fight it and write something dorky or stupid, I’m just going to share a few of my favorite photos…
