  • Cajun Injustice

    Maybe you’ve had the chance to catch an episode or two of the A & E reality series called “Cajun Justice” since its debut on June 5. Maybe you’ve had the chance to watch the show and just don’t want to admit that you actually sat through a whole thirty-minute episode. Or maybe you fall into the camp that says they have never and will never watch the show. But before you throw the Cajun out with the boiling pot, hear me out.

  • Berry Good Memories

    After posting up the recipe for Blackberry Dumplings, I went back to the berry patch to pick more wild berries. Returning to the same patch, I was determined to pick only the blackest, plumpest, ripest berries. At the first picking, I had been so excited to find ripe berries, that I picked berries a little prematurely. However, since that first picking, we’ve had hard rains, coupled with days of sunshine in between, and now the berries have had time to fully ripen. While picking this morning I learned that if my shadow falls across the berries, they appear darker than they really are. So I made a conscious effort not to block the sun and to pick all of them in the glaring sunlight.

  2. Okay, you’ve had more time on your hands today than I have. This post should be on my blog – or are you going to take lessons, too????

    Lessons? Nah. I’ve been practicing in the kitchen with Miah! He’s the only one who’ll dance with me! I made this post for you actually! I can only dream of Lucchese boots, unless I hock my boat!

  3. Haha, man, check out those boots! I’ve never seen anything like ’em! Wow. Whoever owns those must be the talk of the town.

    Rocky, if I had those boots, I’d dance to your music in them! Do you dance?
