    The Afghan Air Force Is On The Move – DoD Roundtable

    September 30, 2010 /

    This morning’s Department of Defense Bloggers Roundtable with Brigadier General David Allvin was interesting for this retired pilot who spent many years involved in training pilots and other crewmembers. Some of that training included flying with numerous international students from Saudi Arabia, Panama and Italy. As a trained test pilot Gen Allvin brings a unique perspective in his new role as the commanding general, NATO Air Training Command, NTM-A/CSTC-A. He outlined the focus of his command as: 1) Expand Operational Capability2) Professionalization of the Air Force through Education and Training3) Improving Command and Control of Afghan Air Force resources The Afghan Air Force (the organizational name was recently confirmed by…

    Making Your Vote Count

    September 28, 2010 /

    I hate watching the evening-news this time of year. I love keeping up with current events, so at 10 o’clock every night the TV is switched on. However, it is the commercials that get me hot-and-bothered from late September through early November. Politician upon politician telling me not WHY I should vote for them but WHY I should NOT vote for their opponent. The Mud Slinging. The Slander. The Poor Sportsmanship.It is not in my nature! I don’t like to talk bad about people. I don’t like to hear others talking badly about another. I would rather hear what they are about then what they are /not/. Since I want…

    Comfort of Cheese Ravioli with Pesto

    September 28, 2010 /

    I love basil. Our garden if still full of the plants. It will take a hard frost to finally have the curtain call shut them down. I dry the leaves, even pick long branches with dark purple flowers for a vase full in the guest bathroom. I use pesto when ever and give it away as a hostess gift in cute jelly jars. Basil and I are friends to the end. Here is another use of pesto that wakes up a cheese ravioli and packs it with a nutty punch. Pasta is a comfort food, and with the awakening of autumn, the coming of the major busy holidays, pasta is…

    Sweet Potato Nut Muffins or Bread

    September 24, 2010 /

    Sweet potatoes are in the markets now. They are the fall colors coming to your table, ready to eat and full of vitamins. We have company and I somehow feel obligated to make enough food for local Michigan, Illinois and Indiana… needless to say, I have leftovers often. AND I love to be a touch creative in the use of this bounty… and pass it on to others in a more palpable form than cold potatoes in a bowl.Smell the muffins! Pass the bread! This recipe comes from memories of church suppers, when the ladies brought in the best of their mixings and musings. Everything was served with pride and…

    Points of View

    September 23, 2010 /

    I love art. I love the reasons for art… could be world history, could be sensory perception, could be hormones! I’m open. I hear about a subject and I can somehow see a thread of art history gleaming in and being woven into the fabric of the story. Life’s lesson is coming in through the ear, and yet my eye goes into a Rapunzel’s spinning wheel working overtime… coming up with the golden thread and is very pleasing to me at least!Yet my good friend Pam,sitting right next to me, gets lost… glassy eyed when I start recounting with joy what I think… I can tell the posture slumps, the…

    My 5 Minutes of Fame

    September 23, 2010 /

    I have to admit it … I’m feeling a little special 😉 Here I am, the mom of 4 rough and tumble boys, the wife of an everyday soldier, blogger, military-family advocate and … well… “Household 6” through and through. I logged onto USAA yesterday (our family’s bank of choice) to check account balances and such and there is /my/ name. Now I realize everyone’s name appears on their account… but I’m talking over in the right hand column, amongst their features and boxes. Over there is a quote *by me*! I’m having my 5 minutes of fame! (if you want to call it that, I suppose) Read some great…

    Pan Seared Steak with Horseradish Mashed Spuds

    September 21, 2010 /

    I was never sure about horseradish. It is oh so strong. I like hot peppers, but there really is nothing similar other than a strong taste. I love zippy salad dressings… again the strong taste. Then we were in Nashville and I had an order of fried green tomatoes with a horseradish dip. Whoa! Oh so good! So, I began to experiment with this new taste sensation. Mashed potatoes was the perfect playground. And with potatoes comes steak… my man is a fan!This menu is for two… a beautiful night if you can manage adds so much to the event. 🙂3 large potatoes (I prefer Yukon gold, but any large…

    Overwhelmed

    September 17, 2010 /

    I have to admit it. This past couple of weeks since school started I have been completely overwhelmed! Homework. Family Dinner. Evening Activities. OH MY! My boys are back to school and thriving. I love to watch them get on the bus each morning with a quick hug, kiss and a wish for a great day. Then I can pour myself another cup of coffee, get a little work done and bond with 6-week old baby-boy, *L*. The 7 hours of school-time seems to fly. At about 3:30 pm every school night I make sure the kitchen island is cleaned off. I get the boys’ homework caddies out (filled with…

    Tasty Tuesday: Simply Scrumptous Squash

    September 14, 2010 /

    Yes, Scrumptious and Squash go together so easily. Coupling chorizo sausage that has been fried and most of the grease removed makes this a filling, nutritious meal that is so simple! I love sweet and salty together. The two complete a taste bud triumph… a gold medal event. I see the flags flying, crowds cheering when sweet and salt come to the plate. Yes, I do have an imagination. Had to while moving into base housing… mismatched floor tiles in the middle of the each room… and trying to tell the family, “This will be our best home ever!”. Quite often they bought that too! It is that imaginative ability…
