Under This Wedded Jewel

Under this wedded jewel

In the distance, the whooshing hum of evening traffic is almost deafening, as rubber tires spin across hardened pavement. Those modern, mechanical carriages are so close to us, and yet we are invisible to them, mostly. The occasional traveler may catch a glimpse of us here in this place. We see you as you whiz by. We hear you as you move deliberately towards whatever destination you have selected. I wonder where you are scurrying, to and fro. We sit idle, calm, and patient, in this pool of mirrors with…

An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner

An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner I was out and about yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would go ahead and get some ideas for our Friday night dinner.  I messaged Shawn to see if he wanted anything in particular.

Pressure Cooker Chicken

Pressure Cooker Chicken

A Whole Chicken & A Pressure Cooker So, I ran across a sale on whole chickens a couple of weeks ago, and thought hmmmm I bet I can cook this in the pressure cooker.  Of course I researched several recipes, and came up with my own version of Pressure Cooker Chicken. Wow, did it turn out great! So tender and moist.  It will fall off the bone, and melt in your mouth! Definitely another pressure cooker recipe I will be adding to the list of favorites.  Served it with green…
