Del.icio.us for Queenkv Digg by QueenkvMy Medill buddy Sara hanged out with us one weekend. She whipped up this tasty, hearty veggie dish that her mom made back in the day. I’m terrible with transcribing Spanish, but I do know it translates into Zucchini and Corn.

Dusk in downtown Sonoma. We’re next to the the Spanish Colonial buildings. It’s 89 degrees and lovely outside.
Today, I went for a short run before my skating session. The last few weeks, I’ve been treating these sessions like a workout: rolling out of the house without warming up or stretching. Running about 1.25 miles helped me get more into athlete mode when I stepped on the ice this morning.
And yesterday, I ran [...]
I don’t think I can survive without rice. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
Rice goes with anything and I’m always learning new ways to enjoy this personal food staple. My cousin and hubby gave us “Seductions of Rice” for Christmas. It’s a big cookbook with beautiful pictures on how rice [...]
I try to find new recipes to try out on my weekends. I’m thrilled with the huge kitchen space in our Vacaville home. There’s plenty of room to spread out my herbs, veggies, meat and cutting areas. Sometimes I have my PowerBook open to a tasty online recipe. When I’m prepping meals, sometimes I stare [...]

Thankfully, folks in the booth didn’t let me crash the segment (not the chopper…the actually show). My dad said I sounded happy. I am happy. I’m still training but I’m thrilled [...]
I’m used to celebrating Thanksgiving with a lot of people. This year, I had the folks who mattered most to me in Topeka - inside the kitchen: Mark and Daisy. We had a lovely holiday. In the tradition of my working experience, we did a Thanksgiving lunch. Sometimes I thought having to work on the [...]
IXTAPA — Yeah, I worked on my latest Nora Roberts book on our private beach at the hotel, in the rain. It reminded me of the Philippines. Simply refreshing. Then I watched the sunset on the balcony.
Mark´s pretty sick right now. We think he ate something bad at Il Ferno, on Wed. So, he´s [...]
I started doing CD reviews for the station….here’s my first one for a group from Argentina.
The English translation of Entre RÃos is “between riversâ€?. This three-person band from Argentina sounds like the Postal Service getting high on sweet Latin pop. “Ondaâ€? (which translates into: Wave) is the third album released by Entre RÃos. It [...]
