It's fall here on the Texas Gulf Coast at last. The temps are in the mid to 80's rather than the mid 90's and we are loving it. Sitting out on the deck fishing with the kids and watching the turtles pull themselves up on a log to sit in the sun. It's wonderful. I've got my fall garden planted...

I tried making them for the first time a few nights ago and instead of getting the fluffy little pillows like I was supposed to I got crackers. LOL I was very disappointed. I was hoping someone could give me a good recipe and some pointers.

I was watching Dinners Drive-ins and Dives on the food channel and I saw this dude deep frying hamburger patties so I decided to give it a try. OMG it was sooooo good. It was like a really nice chicken fried steak but cheaper and easier. You take a good quality frozen, pre-formed one third...

I have started selling eggs to help pay for the feed that my chickens eat. I never realized that there was such a large market for homemade eggs. I'm selling all my chickens will lay minus the ones I'm using of course. I'm getting about 1-1/2 dozen eggs a day and I want to keep getting this...
