I made this using the hogao. It is the reason I made the hogao. The original recipe uses yellow maize, which I’m leaving out. However, if you want to use it or corn, then 15oz will do. 2 lbs. pork ribs 8 cups water Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon sazon goya [...]

While there is a little influx August first when leases start, the dorms opened last Sunday and KU classes start today. That means all the students are back. Now that I don’t live right by campus in between KU and Lawrence High School, I don’t feel the big rush as much. I may just run [...]

Despite the fact that I can feel my thighs, if that makes any sense, and I could barely squeeze my normally loose wedding ring on my finger this morning, I took my pants off last night without unbuttoning them.

My nails are looking nicer than they have since I can remember. My secret? I’m actually attempting to take care of them. Heh. I’m not a nail biter, but often my nails break and split. I can grow them, but they are never long at the same time. I just get tired of them and [...]

I’m really freakin’ close to rationalizing my way into eating rice. And naan. And pakoras. I gained a little over 4 lbs in one day*, and I swear it is all in my thighs. I cannot even stand to wear my jeans. You know, the one that I was close to taking off without unbuttoning. [...]

We had a lovely storm roll through this evening. I opened the shade on the deck door so I could enjoy the lightning while we were watching our movie. We even got to enjoy it striking somewhere near our house with a loud zap and colors of red, orange and yellow flashing through the recently [...]

I love the fact that both my kids take their plates to the sink when they are done eating a meal. Not always automatically. Sometimes I have to ask, and they go, “Oh yeah” and then just do it. Ada does a great job at helping do chores. She’ll always get a new bag out [...]

This, to me, falls more into the category of a condiment. It’s like a mix between pico de gallo and salsa, but not quite. I made it to put into a soup, but had extra that I stored in the fridge for other uses. I found the absolute best use for it. Eggs. I don’t [...]
