An easy to make “salad” that you can use nearly any flavored couscous mix to make up. I added a few items in to get the taste I craved. Box sizes vary by brand, as well does water called for – so be sure to read the box carefully before setting off – and mark [...]

Kirk surprised me with a gift today. A Henry Shires Tarptent Double Rainbow!
Wooooo! I am excited! I have wanted one for so very long. The past two years when Ford and I go on trips I have flipped between a AntiGravity Gear tarp tent that didn’t have a zipper (which while a nice tent I [...]

It had been a couple months since I had a chance to get to Cost Plus World Market so yesterday Ford and I breezed through. We were rewarded with lots of new items – especially so in their single serving section where they have all the small items. Everything is shelf stable and small to [...]
