Food & Drink > Seafood Recipes Recipes: Quick tuna noodle casserole: 6 of 13
PUNCH UP THE FLAVOR! Tuna Casserole needn't be boring! I created the following recipe several years ago and no-one here has ever complained about having Tuna Casserole for dinner. This recipe has become a family favorite. Serve it with hot buttered rolls or cornbread, and a big vegetable salad. NOT YOUR MAMA'S TUNA CASSEROLE... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Family: 50 of 101
NO NINTENDO WHIZZES HERE! We never played Nintendo when I was growing up. Super Mario was unheard of. In fact, television itself was a fairly new commodity. My family's first was a black-and-white RCA, and I can still remember sitting in the car, filled with anticipation, as I watched my dad carry it across the street from t... More..

GOBLIN IN MY CLOSET I'm hiding under the covers on a dark and stormy night! A goblin's in my closet, He's a green and gory sight! I saw him sneaking through the door, He tip-toed by my bed, I said, "what are you doing here?" He just smirked and turned his head. "Get out!" I whispered through the sheets, He made not a sound.....

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The wind: 62 of 97
WHISTLE OF THE WIND I hear the whistle of the wind, Sounds like it's calling my name. I stop what I'm doing to listen, Rain runs down the windowpane. A thought of you surfaces, From the recesses of my mind. I let the memories come rushing in, For a time.... Reliving special moments, A smile plays on my lips. A laugh escapes ... More..
Health & Fitness > Digestive Diseases Diverticulosis: Symptoms and treatment: 2 of 3
It's almost my 1 year anniversary. It won't be a happy occasion celebrated with cake. I won't throw a party with balloons. It will be a quiet shivering recollection of a nightmare that almost resulted in my death. It all started 23 years before. In 1983, shortly after the birth of my second son, I began experiencing severe a... More..
Food & Drink > Cooking Fruits & Vegetables How to cook okra: 9 of 13
Another delicious southern way of cooking okra was taught to me by my grandmother, "Mama". She called this dish, "Gumbo", but of course, it really isn't a true traditional gumbo, lacking the liquid most gumbos include. Every time I cook this dish I am taken back in my mind's eye by the aroma, the taste, textures, and brillia... More..
Food & Drink > Cooking (Other) Cooking is becoming a lost art: 18 of 25
DOES ANYONE REALLY COOK ANYMORE? Rows and rows of freezer sections can be found in just about any modern grocery store these days. Just about anything on your menu can be found ready-made and frozen perfectly, awaiting you and your microwave. Try a chicken or beef pie with vegetables, a beef or been burrito with or without g...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Motherhood: 47 of 64
AHHHH! MOTHERHOOD! (This story came about from a writing exercise in a former creative group I owned) When I think back to my twenties, it's all a blur! A blur of raising kids, working at a chaotic job, never-ending housework and laundry, running errands, little league games, homework, stress, stress and more stress.....Calg... More..
Arts & Humanities > Buying & Selling Art Whether to buy art at a gallery or online?: 3 of 4
MY DREAM IS DYING I understand the dilemma. Really I do. Purchasing anything online is a trust issue for some. Purchasing art online is taking a chance-a big chance. (But no bigger chance than purchasing electronics, movies, games, CD's, DVD's and such.) Should you trust this artist? Will the art be true to the online rendit... More..
Food & Drink > Cooking Meats How to barbecue chicken: 8 of 10
Southern cooks like me have a favorite way of cooking barbequed chicken that doesn't include a grill or smoker. It involves the ever-trusty iron skillet. Iron skillets that have been "seasoned" over time in the Southern cooks' kitchen are a must in cooking up the old-fashioned Southern cuisine. The results are much more flav... More..
