    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…

    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…
