As a southerner, folks tend to assume I learned to cook growing up in the family kitchen under the watchful eye of mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers wielding cast iron skillets seasoned with pure lard. While I do live and die by my Lodge; I do not wield pure lard and I did not learn…

What’s Going On??
My blogging was quiet in April. Here is what you missed: Zone diet = royal failure. Short story is that the Zone Diet requires more discipline than I can endure right now so I do not recommend anyone use Zone to start a diet, maybe to maintain a weight or explore new strategies for healthy…
