Tortilla Soup

  Yummy and as authentic tasting as you’ll ever get!   My family begs me for this.    Recipe is for 8; I usually double or triple it.

The truth about adults:

A note from my oldest, a freshman at VFCC:
“So far college has been pretty easy. Just like in middle school, everyone said high school would be much harder, and in high school everyone said college is much harder, and so far it seems they were just trying to scare us.”

When the brain takes a hike…

So I go to an interview yesterday and my brain can’t connect with my mouth.  Or vice versa.
What is it about three ordained ministers asking me simple questions that turns my brain to jelly and my tongue to mush?  I could have answered more coherently with a shot of Novocain numbing my mouth, for all I [...]
