I want to thank all of those in our community who sympathized with my two publishing issues last week. This week has been much better, as I’ve returned to writing about one of my passions – pollinators! It is Pollinator Week, and I’ve written three pieces on Medium about these essential insects. I’ll attach friend…
There was always an indication of the end of summer when I was growing up, and it was our town’s Fireman’s Carnival. All the towns in our area had them, and we went as a family to several. There was always a parade with marching bands and firetrucks from the host town, as well as…
I am trying my Silent Sunday post on Medium.com this week. It’s on food! You don’t want to miss it! https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/food-i-love-it-173c36255e27?sk=ff24338994d3d01ddbf183268c1a59ae Thanks!

One of the most positive things about moving is that our magazine deliveries have stopped. We were getting three issues of the Food Network Magazine, two of Eating Well, a copy of All Recipes, and Cooking Light. The Cooking Light magazine was the only one I had subscribed to and expected to receive. The others…
My sister-in-law gave us a pasta-making attachment for our kitchen aide mixer for Christmas. It was a complete gift including a pasta-making cookbook, drying rack, ravioli forms, and three attachments for the mixer. Last Wednesday, we perused the cookbook and decided on an egg-based ravioli filled with a cheese and basil mixture. The basil was…
Dictionary.com defines the word Horiatiki as a traditional Greek salad consisting of tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and feta cheese. And, so it is! I had the pleasure of eating my first Horiatiki Salad on Saturday night, not in Greece (unfortunately) but in a little Greek restaurant nestled on the Main Street of La Crosse, Wisconsin!…
It’s August 1st! How the heck did that happen? It’s been a busy six months! In February we decided to put our home of 16 years up for sale but wait until spring to do it. In the meantime, we started cleaning out. When we met with realtors, we decided on listing the first week…
We were in Western New York two weeks ago for a quick visit to see my parents. On the way in we always stop in Hamburg, a suburb of Buffalo on Lake Erie to stay at my sister-in-law’s condo. We were there only for a couple of days and went out to dinner one night….
Have you ever seen the infamous Corpse Plant? Or, perhaps, the better question is: have you ever smelled the odor emanating from a Corpse Flower in bloom? It is said to emulate the smell of death, of rotting meat! The botanical name for this huge smelly plant is Amorphophallus titanium. Knowing I was a plant…
