Yes, I got 2 – count ‘em… 2 whole comment spam today from the very same site.  Akismet grabbed them, but still… I feel as if this little blog has finally become legit.  Now it’s time for me to go make dinner.

It’s Friday!  If you aren’t working, kick back and relax.  Enjoy the weekend!

So every once in a while, you’ll have to put up with my plugging something I really really like.  Why?  Because I can.  I am not doing any of those pay for posts.   I’d never make any money that way because I am not the Pioneer Woman (she is an incredibly talented blogger and has the readership to prove it).   No, I’m just blathering.  If I like something, I like to tell people about it.  Right now I like this book.

I decided one day I needed to add more green stuff to my dinner plate.  I am NOT inventive, I do NOT create recipes.  I am able to follow recipes and put decent food on the table, but think up stuff… that will never happen. Plus I like EASY and FAST.   This book is both for nearly all the recipes I’ve used.

I bought the book a little over a week ago. I have made about 7 different salads and… in a turn of events unheard of for me ever, with any cookbook, I have loved all of them!  I am truly amazed.  In general I buy a cookbook and end up liking maybe 2 recipes that I will continue to make on a regular basis.  This one – I’m going to have an entire summer of salads.

Too tired to blog much tonight. I’m thinking I need to start doing some sort of food photography to add a bit of interest to these pages. Now that I’ve started in on the pictures, I feel my blogs look rather forlorn without them.

Must ponder. What kind of food would I take pictures of… Hmmm.

Had sushi for dinner tonight.  After the first bite, the entire world was a more wonderful place to be.

I highly recommend it.

I did a little googling… very little.   Took me all of  30 seconds (most of which was backspaced typing), but I found a new website.

Food in every Country

What I googled was “Midwest foods” and came upon their entry for that region.  Of course I decided to start with the area where I’ve spent most of my life.  Begin at the beginning so to speak.

Welcome! Pull up a chair, grab something to drink and maybe even a snack.  It’s time to talk food.

But first let me tell you how this blog came about.

To begin with, I was not thinking about creating yet another blog.  I wasn’t thinking of adding to all the things I do already. Not at all.  Then I had a conversation with my daughter…

I knew it the minute I heard her say it.

What do I mean?

Ah, therein lies the story.
