In Defense of Leftovers
With all the articles and posts about what to do with leftovers, I have been wondering "why not just eat them?"
How to Cook with Venison
I am so thankful - DH got a deer this year! Our freezer was just about EMPTY. I'm always surprised when people tell me they don't like venison, or don't know how to cook it. Here are some tips I've learned over a lifetime of eating it:

And so, I can only imagine, what I would serve if the menu were completely up to me.
Infiltrating Corporate America and Other Subversive Acts
When I was a senior in high school, I worked at Burger King. It is slightly ironic because my name is Wendy (and yes, I got comments about that all the time!).

"Only you would have celery root already in your refrigerator," she said. We had a good laugh, and I set off to get the rest of the ingredients.
