Disturbing

No I don't have any recipes to post. Honestly I probably wont' have any new ones for several weeks.  Once I'm on vacation, in December, I'll try some new recipes and get them posted.

In the meantime I just have to post this.  This is disturbing on so many levels.  I don't even know what Palin was blabbering about as I was in shock at the scene behind her.  Is she that clueless?  This video was taken after she "pardoned" a turkey.  It makes you just want to shake her.

So glad I'm a vegan!

So, be warned.  For me this was quite disturbing.

Artichoke and Kidney Bean Paella

Here's a keeper, for sure.  This was so easy and is very tasty.  I have never used Artichoke hearts for anything, so I wasn't sure about how they would taste.  They work very well in this recipe.  Just make sure you get the can, not the marinated ones that come in a jar.

Give this a try, it's really quite good.

Almost done cooking.  Sorry about the yellow tint.  It's because of the over the stove light.
