    Weekend Snaps – Current Randomness & a (Mostly) Garden Update

    August 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    August 9, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I just wanted to share this. Because this is what a Minnesota summer night is all about. This is what we do when it’s 90 degrees out; we ride our bikes between two corn fields. And this is what I will miss in January. Lara

    Turkey Labels 101

    August 9, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hey guys – I wrote this post below for Agriculture.com (I’m a #WomenInAg blogger) but I wanted to make sure I shared it here because I think it’s got some great basic information about turkeys. And it is Turkey Tuesday after all!  No recipe today, though – sorry about that!…

    Weekend Snaps: Farm Weddings

    August 7, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You guys! I have so many fun pictures from our weekend that this post may get a little obnoxious. We ended up having two wedding celebrations to attend – one on Friday evening and the other on Saturday. And of course they were 200+ miles apart … road trip! 🙂…

    Turkey Tuesday: Spicy Turkey Sausage Pasta

    August 2, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Tuesday is back, folks! It’s been AGES since I’ve shared a recipe. July flew by and I was out of town for two weeks (combination of work / vacation) so that really put me behind. A few key points about the recipe I’m sharing: It’s very flavorful It can…

    Turkey Tuesday: Handling a Heat Wave

    July 26, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been too long since I’ve written about turkeys. Blame it on a busy schedule, vacation days, summer … although if I’m completely honest with you, I’ve been a little burned out writing about agriculture. I’ve been feeling a little stretched thin, with commitments to this blog, my communications career…

    Bucket List: Duran Duran

    July 24, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Sunday night. Ugh. I have been out of the office for two weeks – a little for work travel but mostly for vacation, so my transition back tomorrow is going to sting a little. Okay. Probably more than a little. Wish me luck. In order to keep me smiling tonight,…
