Turkey Burgers with Basil Mayonnaise

I didn’t used to like ground turkey. Back in my previous life with no grocery budget to speak of, I’d buy ground turkey because it was cheaper than ground beef. But it was gristly and just didn’t taste good. I came across some ground turkey breast on a manager’s special at my grocery store and thought I’d give it another go. After much searching, I found this amazing recipe. I’ve made it twice now, tweaked it a bit here and there, and it is a WONDERFUL sandwich.

Critical Thinking: Formal Fallacies

An argument is called “valid” when it’s form is correct and does not lend to a mistake in reasoning due to a faulty structure. An argument is deemed “cogent” when its form is valid and its premises are sound. In logic, “valid” means that if the premises are true, the conclusion is also true. A fallacy can occur when the form is adulterated to reach a false conclusion.

Blog Stuff

I added a Prayer Request page. You can get to it from the tabs across the top or from here. Let’s all use it and be a blessing to each other.

Christmas Past

When it was much later than Santa probably wanted it to be, we’d pack up and drive home and the four of us would go to bed certain we’d never be able to sleep, and likely were asleep within minutes of laying down.

Christmas Tour of My Home

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve hesitated about doing this post for a while now. I am not a decorator, nor do I pretend to be. I don’t know what to do or how to do it. I can copy what someone else has done, but when I go to copy it, I have a super incredible really hard time spending the money to do it.

Case in point: my husband built the bookshelves and fireplace mantle you’ll see in these pictures in August when he was home for vacation. In August. Most of the shelves are still bare. I just really don’t know what to put on them.

But, in the spirit of the Yule, and in hoping that after I hit the after Christmas mega sales on decorating items, this will bring you a little bit of joy and maybe provide me with a “look how much I improved since last year” post next year. :)

Christmas Baking Attack Plan – Week #3

Using your platters or baskets that you bought for each person on your gift list, put a few cookies, a few pieces of fudge, some candy — just make a small gift plate. You don’t need to give a dozen cookies. If I had done cut out sugar cookies, I would have just done four to six designs, then given one of each one. Five or six pieces of fudge is plenty. Three or four pieces of Captain Crunch Candy fills up a portion of a platter. For the two breads, I balance the platter out with a mini-loaf on either side.

Birthdays & Red Velvet Cookies

Today is my husband Gregg’s birthday. I won’t tell you how old he is, but I might leave you a clue. :-) (Hint: today is the second anniversary of his fortieth birthday.)

Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies

In my wanderings to find the perfect red velvet cookie, I came across this recipe. It looked wonderful, so I tired it. However, I did not make the stuffing. I simply made the cookie. I had to mail these to Gregg, and cream cheese needs to be refrigerated in transport. I’m STILL hearing from soldiers about how amazing these cookies are, a good week after they were eaten.
