Santorum Spread Staunched, Sights Shift To Super Tuesday

Romney takes Arizona and Michigan.  Is it enough to hold of the challengers?  Tune in to Super Tuesday for the possible answer to this question.

Davy Jones Dead At 66

Heart attack.

Shame for him to die at such a relatively young old age.  If you'd asked me, I'd have figured Peter Tork would be the first Monkee to go.

No Longer Mine

Something of a personal post on this, the last day of vacation (yes, its back to the office tomorrow).  This is my stuffed bear, Aspirin (even as a youngster, I was a smartass).  I got him when we lived in Tennessee, around the time I was 5 or 6 years old, which would be around 1967-1968.  Over the years, he went from being snuggled in my bed at night, to a shelf, and ultimately a closet, but I always had him around, hoping someday to pass him to one of my own children.  Now, I have a little girl of two and a half years old, so I cleaned him up a bit, sewed up his sprung seams, replaced his eyes that had disappeared decades ago, and presented him to my daughter so she can now snuggle him.  Perhaps someday, I'll have a grandchild who will hold him.

Well, vacation is said and done.  Back to the usual nonsense!

Mmmmm...Pancetta

A fettuccine carbonara with pancetta that I made recently.  If you beg, I MIGHT share the recipe!

Along with some Tuscan style white beans.  This recipe came out of my Joy of Cooking cookbook.

I've Looked At Clouds Through My Lens Now

Some fluffy serenity for your weekend enjoyment.  It also appears that I need to clean the lower right quadrent of my camera lens.

Flag Day

The United States isn't the ONLY country that celebrates a Flag Day! 

Go tell Aunt Rody go tell Aunt Rody Go tell Aunt Rody....

ZOMBIE GOOSE!!

Dryad's Saddle

As we slide into the waning of my vacation week, we take a look at another mushroom from my photography collection.  This one is the dryad's saddle, an edible often found on old logs and stumps.  My wife and I enjoy this mushroom, but many others do not care for it.  The edible portion is the cap's edge, the rest of the mushroom, while not poisonous, is way too rubbery to eat. I think its quite good dipped in batter and fried.
