    Turkey Tuesday: Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs

    July 28, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been far too long since I’ve posted a turkey recipe on the blog but I am happy to report that’s changing today with these Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs. My oven was fixed last Friday (broken glass on the inside of the door – weird) and after we came home from…

    A Garden Walk-About in July.

    July 26, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I arrived home today from the lake, completely relaxed and stress-free from my mini-vacation (click here for my post yesterday on this) – and consequently I am not at all ready to get back to the office tomorrow. It’s probably an understatement to say that I’m ready for a real vacation…

    Saturday Morning Tranquility.

    July 25, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I can’t remember the last time I simply sat outside on a Saturday morning, sipped coffee, and read a magazine. Usually at home I’m always thinking of the next thing that needs to get done or I’m on some kind of schedule – generally self-imposed, mind you. Not today. My…

    Bill Maher is not an egg farmer.

    July 21, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

      It’s true. I know this may be hard to fathom for some folks, but Bill Maher – the comedian – is really not even close to being an egg farmer. He does, however, want you to think he knows an awful lot about raising egg layer hens, according to…

    DC Work and Iowa City Play – A Week’s Recap.

    July 19, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I think I can feel my age tonight. After spending 4 days in Washington DC and then another 3 days traveling to/from Iowa City for a family get-together, I am officially beat. If you could see me now, I am sharing the couch with Joe while he is on his…

    The Heart of the Family Farm.

    July 12, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    A week or so, I had the most vivid dream about my Grandma Anderson – or Grandma Inez (pronounced “Eye-niss”), as all of us grandkids called her. She passed away when I was 19, but I had many years of memory-making with her. Although my grandparents lived on their farm…

    Weekend Starts Now … plus a Little Garden Update

    July 9, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s the start of my weekend – as in, yay weekend!  I’m headed out shortly for a run … it’s a gorgeous 80 degree evening so we’ll see how that works for me. I’ve been pretty happy with my running regimen as of late – I think I’ve run pretty much…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Schnitzel

    July 7, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Instead of apologizing for not writing a Turkey Tuesday in, say, a month of Tuesdays (practically), I’m just going to start right in with today’s turkey option for you. (#SorryNotSorry, right?) It’s Turkey Schnitzel! Schnitzel?  Yep, schnitzel. The JENNIE-O® Extra Lean Turkey Breast Cutlets that I bought at my local…
