I’ve made these a couple of times with a few additions (the butter and granulated sugar) the second time. Either way worked del and is very easy to do. This recipe is a bit of a combination of what I did. I got the idea from a recipe I found online, but adapted it. TheContinue reading “Spiced Cocoa Pecan Recipe”

Unexpected Pleasures
One of the challenges of living in a small town can sometimes seem to be the lack of culture. There’s actually more to do than you might realize, and sometimes it’s just that you can’t find the time to do it. Life can keep you busy, but getting out to enjoy some culture when itContinue reading “Unexpected Pleasures”
Catching Up
This is just a quick post to apologize to any regular readers this site may have had… The past few weeks have been very busy, and I haven’t found time to post. What have I been up to? On March 29-31 I took a couple of W students to Lipscomb University in Nashville for theContinue reading “Catching Up”
Savory 3 Cheese, Herb, and Nut Mini Muffins
This recipe was first made for the MUW Sigma Tau Delta initiation ceremony this year. It is heavily adapted from the Basic Whole Wheat Muffin recipe in Ed Brown’s original Tassajara Bread Book, along with the Tassajara Cooking one of my original cooking bibles that I get out occasionally when I really need a basicContinue reading “Savory 3 Cheese, Herb, and Nut Mini Muffins”
Careers for English Majors
As I prepare for a presentation on career prospects for English majors (or should I say job prospects), I thought I would try out a few ideas here. Have you ever noticed that people seem to think English is an unmarketable degree? That’s been the case for as long as I can remember, but itContinue reading “Careers for English Majors”
Carrot Loaf with Mushroom Gravy
Tonight was one of those “cook what’s in the fridge” nights. Carrots were destined to be a main ingredient, and since it turned out pretty good, I thought I’d write down what Aidan and I did. Half an onion One clove of garlic 1/4 cup fresh cilantro 5 carrots (give or take) 1 cup orContinue reading “Carrot Loaf with Mushroom Gravy”
1946 Motorette
When I was a kid, we had a magic green scooter that stayed in this corner of our yard outside my parents’ bedroom window. It was a place of much imagination. My brother, sister, and I would climb on it with some of the neighbor kids, pretend to flash the lights, pretend to steer, pretendContinue reading “1946 Motorette”
Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe
One of our favorite winter meals is homemade soup. It’s so easy that it’s hard to imagine buying soup in a can. This recipe is a variation on one soup we love, a white bean and pasta soup. Virtually any combination of vegetables will do. Broth isn’t really necessary with a bean soup, just saltContinue reading “Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe”
Support Your Local Arts
As I prepared a selection of poems to submit to the Mississippi Arts Commission for a fellowship application, I was reminded just how important state and local arts organizations can be. I think of all the cultural experiences that would go without funding if local and state arts organizations (and the NEA) didn’t exist, andContinue reading “Support Your Local Arts”
Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)
This evening for Valentine’s Day, I decided to reprise the Ginger Beets recipe with a few slight variations. Mainly, I added rutabaga, chard, cilantro, and broccoli. Most of this came from our local farmer — only the broccoli was from the store. Mushroom soy sauce helps the sauce, since it is so dark. And IContinue reading “Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)”
