This photo is just over three years old. That’s why. If you’re headed over to Tecumseh, Michigan, tomorrow or Sunday for this year’s Appleumpkin Festival, make sure you also take the trolley, or make the short drive, to the Kapnick Orchards’ Apple Festival. To be perfectly frank, I happen to enjoy spending time at the Apple […]

Recipe: Mom’s Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
This image is almost three years old … and I never posted it before?? A couple days ago I was over at Shelby’s food blog reading her post describing her Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler with Cornmeal Biscuit Topping.

Keep Your Religion Away From My Alcohol!
