At least for us. Warnings on local T.V. say that they’re evacuating areas of the Tea Fire and Sycamore Canyon for mud slides (from the fires in Santa Barbara)…my old haunts from school. Devastating fires occur about ever decade or more out there…but not in such residential areas. College kids having fun with [...]

Tourist? The word can throw shivers down my spine (as it could do to all of us locals)…but I’m here to say STOP YOUR WHINING! You live in a beautiful place, whether you realize it on a daily basis or not.
I admit, though in the thick of a Pismo June, I have totally [...]

This is the change we have.
Like with lots of people, our change is mixed with the other bits of our life… nuts, bolts and candies (and bass picks) from my husband’s pockets, old key rings from my purse, batteries that I’m not sure if they’re good or not… It says a lot to me. I’ve [...]

First in the Hot Potato series…Oven Fries.
I’m a big fan of baking instead of frying, but it’s not for the health reasons you’d think I’d harp about. Fact is, I’m just lazy. I haaate frying…the mess, the smell, the potential for severe injury (it’s enough for me not to burn myself on the [...]

Okay. So I couldn’t get away from them. Here before you is the simplest little recipe that makes you look like a gourmet chef.
Grilled Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Spread.

What do you do with a monster pepper? You throw it on the fire and show it who’s boss! I found these 1 POUND beauties at one of my favorite places and couldn’t pass them up.
Roasting peppers is fun and easy (just make sure the fan’s on and a door is open). Who [...]
