Okay – another trip around the sun and I’m still happy after all these years. Apparently, May is the month I feel the need to share (journal) my continued adventure. We have acclimated nicely to San Antonio. Since my last post a year ago, I accepted a job at a rehabilitation hospital as a “cook.” The manager wanted a peer leader but that turned out to be very difficult. I LOVED the job!! I created…

So I just read the article I posted exactly one year ago today. All I can say is “Oh, what a year it’s been.” What the heck happened? We no longer live in Florida because they sold the house from under us and we essentially gave up on the small town of Carrabelle and moved to San Antonio, TX. Wait… what? That’s right, for the second time in a year and a half, our landlord,…

Read moreHappy New Year 2024 Another trip around the sun and we’re still chugging along. ’23 was a year filled with new experiences and many challenges. If you’ve read past posts, you know that I took a job as a greens keeper only to be moved to the kitchen at the same “resort” because they fired or lost 4 cooks. I covered for those cooks for several months until the chef quit and I was promoted…

YouTube Video will load below In this video, I’m showing the (quote) “imarku Frying Pan – 12inch Non-Stick Frying Pan Honeycomb Cast Iron Skillets, Large Frying Pans Nonstick Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe Kitchen Pans for Cooking With Stay-cool Wood Handle” I’m a huge fan of this pan!!

Read moreIt’s been a while eh? Yeah, life has been strange and interesting. After the complete fiasco of trying to work with someone to open two restaurants and three food trucks — as well as some thought about starting a newspaper/magazine in another state — I found myself in need of employment. What happened? What happened is I learned early that I would not be able to work with him and was able to cut bait…

I have been writing product reviews for years. It was my way of giving back to the community and sharing my opinions. I enjoy helping others know about great products. I would rarely write a bad review unless it was deceptive, or a scam. I have recently been invited to join the Amazon Vine Voice program and was most recently promoted to the gold level which allows me to order as many as 8 products…
Read moreTo say the past 2.5 years have been a challenge would be the understatement of the century. Without getting too personal (or private), let’s just say that everything I have held dear has been challenged to its extreme. So be it. We made the decision to close our restaurant (dream) in January because it was barely sustainable and we were working our tails off for nothing. We made the decision consciously and professionally.
