Edible Flowers

Monday, May 7th, 2012 by 

Last week I planted several different “edible” flowers in my garden, which still seems to surprise those who’ve never tasted a Nasturtium, so I thought I might write something about it.

“Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood”

Monday, April 23rd, 2012 by 

One of the battles that Hastings and its citizens seem to fight is the lack of dining options. While I do concede that Bullseye’s, Kitty’s, Murphy’s, and Rivals have tasty and filling menu options, they all seem to fall under similar dining categories. What’s more is that Hastings has quite the overabundance of restaurants in similar categories: Sports bars, fast food, Chinese and Mexican.

I should probably say something like, “But oven time is good! Good things happen to those who wait. Fill-in-the-blank is going to be totally worth those ’17 minutes.’” And, “Things that are gained quickly are futile.” Of course, these statements can be true. But heck! It’s not always true.

Your License is Revoked!

Monday, December 12th, 2011 by 

This year, as a representative of the Office of Healthy Living, I am officially revoking your license to eat! Without your license, you will be unable to fill your plate more than once at the holiday party, make more than one trip per day to the office goodie trough or sit like a bump on the couch because if you got up to excercise, someone ELSE in the family would get to eat the homemade chocolate candy the neighbor brought over.

Hastings Dining Dilemma

Friday, December 9th, 2011 by 

I have always lauded Hastings for the LACK of chain restaurants. We have the fast food explosion, but when it comes to dining, the locally owned restaurant reigns in Hastings – that is not such a bad thing. I cannot understand when people travel, why would you go to a chain restaurant when you can do this anytime?

Thursday, December 8th, 2011 by 

Congratulations, Hastings. You finally got your Applebee’s. But remember the inimitable GW on the deck of the aircraft carrier proudly declaring “Mission Accomplished.” We all know how that turned out.
