I have a new weekly feature at The Phoenix New Times Chow Bella called Food & Ink. I am eating and drinking and doing a drawing about it. Every single day for the next year.
Check it out Every Friday. Here is this weeks installment: Ribs and a Gin & Tonic at Hillstone
I will also place the individual drawings into my flickr set: Food & Ink
You know how sometimes when you pick up your laundry from the cleaners there is something that belongs to someone else stuck in the middle. And you intended to return it once you discovered the error but you kept forgetting to take it with you. Then a month went by and you thought about how embarrassed you were to return it and that they had probably paid the person for the missing shirt already so why bother. You have the guilty evidence hanging, still in the bag, in your closet and ask what should be done with it?
How about dyeing it to hide it’s original identity and then turning it into a mini-dress to wear with leggings.

The “loss of the book†debate continues and after a discussion about it a recent Jackalope Ranch meeting this Thrifty Maker had to reveal a recent gift received. After a friend’s father became too blind, at 86 years old, to use his Kindle it was passed on to me. As the debate continues, reading will go on in both print and electronic formats. However, for those who fear the wrath of the die-hard old school print version readers why not make a Kindle Cozy to hide what your really up to?

Happy St. Patrick Day – I made Irish Soda Bread.
Okay, so soda bread came long after Saint Patrick. Bicarbonate of soda arrived on the scene in the mid 1840’s as a leavening agent and was used in Ireland to work with the wheat grown there. Whatever, who needs the details of St. Patrick anyway. This bread is to soak up all the beer in your belly on the biggest beer drinking day of the year. Spend your money on the brew and get thrifty on the bread by baking a loaf yourself.
