    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…

    SUP, everyone! And a few good staycation tips …

    July 5, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    A three-day holiday weekend is perfect for a little staycation, wouldn’t you agree? While I am longing for a true “unplugged” vacation, if you will, this will just have to wait until August, when I’ve slated 10+ days for a trip to Hawaii. (Sigh. Hawaii.) Instead, we took advantage of the…

    The Glory of Gardening.

    June 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    “The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.” – Alfred Austin What is it about the garden that just calms me? I didn’t do much tonight except some…

    Father’s Day Weekend.

    June 21, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I haven’t posted since June 9. Yikes – I hate that! It couldn’t be helped, really. Last week, I was immersed in the summer conference of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and even prior to that, work was pretty much the priority. I wish I could say that’s going to…

    Turkey Tuesday: Tips for Awesome Turkey Burgers

    June 9, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So I’m going with tips for awesome turkey burgers tonight. Why? Here’s the deal: I don’t have a recipe to share tonight because: 1) It was 90 degrees out (which if you know me, then you know I think this was awesome!) and Joe and I decided to pick up…

    Garden Walk-About

    June 8, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I love this time of year in my gardens. It takes a while for plants to really hit their stride in Minnesota, but by early June, I see a lot of green and blooms are starting to make their appearances as well. My trusty garden gnome watches over the gardens.…

    Saying Good-Bye to Elementary School

    June 7, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So I guess we have ourselves a sixth grader now. Whaaaaat? When I think of sixth grade, here are a few random memories from back in the day: My teacher was Mr. Carlisle. He also happened to be my fifth grade teacher, as well. He was a good teacher, but…
