On Thursday nights during the summer there is a concert at beautiful Utica Square. For those of you not from Tulsa, Utica Square is an expensive outdoor shopping center in midtown. It is always a treat to go there and do some people watching, so add a concert to that and you have quite the [...]

GAZPACHO- Finally!!!!!!!!
Posted in food, recipes on August 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Imagine with me an extremely HOT summer day… temperatures in the 100s, and NO air conditioning. This was the situation when I was in Madrid, Spain in 2001 with 9 of my high school students. I was staying in a very small apartment on something like the 30th floor. Wow. I usually don’t consider myself [...]

Yipppeee!!! Daniel’s new fireman outfit came in the mail today, so here he is trying it out for the first time- you can just see his excitement. Thanks Dad and GlendaMom for sending it to us! We had Mike’s dad over for dinner, so here is a shot of Daniel and grandpa watching “Leave it [...]
Thoughts on food

I thought I would share a little bit about what we eat (well, more like what we don’t eat) since it is something that is a bit of a passion to me. I have studied and researched for years on how to eat healthily. I am definitely not an expert, but I have learned a [...]
What’s in the garden???

My idea of fresh flowers lately: zinnias and rosemary in a mason jar!
What a year I have had gardening. Things just haven’t seemed to grow or taste quite like they should. I finally bought my first soil test kit and did a few samples to see what I am working with. Wow! That was definitely $5 [...]
Alphabet

We have slowly started working on learning the alphabet this week. Daniel is posing by his beautifully colored letter “A” (oh, yes, I drew that fabulous letter myself without using a stencil). It is fun to have some direction like this in our days.
Margherita Pizza

This is my first attempt at making a margherita pizza. For those of you not familiar with it, it is just a simple Italian pizza with olive oil, basil, cheese and tomatoes. I made mine with a homemade garlic olive oil, homegrown tomatoes and basil, and Oklahoma food coop cheese. I put it on a gluten [...]

I don’t really know what to say about this other than: dirt, popsicles, and energetic boy!
Chaco (the cat, not the shoes)

What a handsome rogue is this cat! We sure do love him. We almost lost him a few months ago when he had a complete urinary blockage. By the time we got him in to see the vet, he was only hours away from having his bladder and kidneys rupture. He spent 2 days at [...]
Tomatoes- wow.

This morning a lot of Cherokee Purple tomatoes decided to ripen at the same time! I had to add them to my current collection:
Interestingly enough, last night I picked up the BOX of tomatoes that I ordered from the Oklahoma Food Coop!
Okay, so I think you might be getting the idea that I am suddenly [...]
