Throwback Thursday: Homemade Potato, Corn and Shrimp Chowder {In the Kitchen}
Originally posted: 8 November 2012 Have you ever wanted to eat something so badly that you thought about it all day long? That’s how I was the other night. I wanted Shrimp and Grits with Fried Chicken. Desperately. So I quickly drove home and, guess what? No grits anywhere in the house. So I started thinking and thinking and thinking and when I finally accepted the fact that I wasn’t going to get in my car and drive back in to town just for some grits, I decided to make chowder. Best decision ever. Here’s the recipe, I hope you agree. What you need: 1/2 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined…

Coffee Talk {In the Cafe}
Hi, and welcome to Coffee Talk. In case you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And there may be a recipe thrown in here or there just for fun. 1.

There’s so much wrong with this story that it’s hard to find the beginning… Monette was last seen celebrating with friends at Parlay’s,…

Thursday Likes {In the Cafe}
I thought I’d try something new on Thursdays; instead of just posting a picture and linking to my flickr account, I thought I’d share a couple of things I’ve found while surfing the web. These may be links to products I think are cool, blog posts I find interesting, or outfits I absolutely love… I hope you’ll find these things as interesting as I do. 1. Coffitivity ~ When I work, I like having a bit of ambient noise to help get my mental motor going. I also used to like working in the coffee shop before I started working in the library. I liked the hum of conversation, the…

Have you ever roasted two whole chickens because your family swore up and down they were starving and then they only ate like half of one so you’re left with all of this chicken and you’re thinking what do I do with this? That’s what happened to me last week. I had one and a half delicious fresh roasted chickens sitting in my fridge; I didn’t want to toss it and I wasn’t in the mood for more roasted chicken. So I started thinking and thinking and thinking and it hit me: Chicken Noodle Soup. And a side of Cheddar Drop Biscuits. My family was all kinds of excited and…

Banana Bread with Cranberry Trail Mix Crust {On the Table}

So, here you go, Banana Bread using self~rising flour… What Ya Need 6 Very Ripe Bananas, mashed 3 cups Self~Rising Flour 4 Eggs 1 Stick of Butter 2 tsp Vanilla 2 cups Sugar 1 cup…
