Making Preparations for Fall
September 12, 2013
Feeling like summer passed us by...
I'm getting excited about the idea of Fall. I'll admit, it hasn't come easy. Due to my work schedule and transportation issues, I feel like we completely missed summer. Actually, it's more than a feeling. We did entirely miss summer. It was out there, but we weren't.Ahhh well. Time to move on then. My daughter, Lee Anne, bought me one of those cinnamon scented brooms the other day. I told her I wasn't really feeling it but after a couple of days, I began to think, "Sure! Fall. A new start. Let's do this."
Perfect Hearty Chili Recipe
September 8, 2013
Some people associate Summer with Chili. I associate it with Fall. With fall at or doorstep, I thought I'd share this chili recipe with you.
I love chili. I don't often make it, but when I do, it's an event! The following is a very hearty chili recipe. The tomatoes and sweet peppers give the initial flavor a certain sweetness which is readily followed by a spicy hotness.
My friend says that it's the "perfect" amount of "spicy". If you like spicy foods, eat it alone. If you need to tone down the amount of spice, eat it with saltines or sweet corn bread. Or throw a dollop of sour cream into the chili. It is easily balanced. That works out in my household. The youngest children can tame the "hot" while the adults can enjoy the spicy aspect. Perfect!

An Update
It's been a while since I've posted here. I've had a topsy-turvy year. There have many challenges and successes, but little I've wanted to say publicly.
I've decided that although I have a personal blog for family and super-close friends which is on complete privacy, I'll start blogging here as a more public personal blog. I closed down most of my websites and blogs. I've decided this can be the place where I do a little of everything.
This can be a place to share my southern-fried life, recipes and whatever else that isn't about homeschooling. I am currently redesigning it, so please forgive the incomplete look of it all.
