My Food Network episode starts in a few minutes, and it'll be the last new one until I can film some more next month. Cowboy Josh features prominently in this episode, as does his horse training uncle, who gives the kids a cutting lesson on their horses. Oh, and there's meatloaf, too!

If you missed your state fair this year, here's some grub you can whip up at home. Next best thing!

One thing I discovered this weekend: There's no dignified way to photograph a corn dog.

This morning on my cooking show: marital competitiveness gone wild! (Oh. And there's food, too.)

This morning is the 5th episode of my Food Network show.
This afternoon, my two boys play in a football game.
Tonight, my alma mater plays my husband's alma mater on TV.
Tomorrow morning, we might not be on speaking terms. It all depends on who wins!

I love homeschooling! I wonder if the fact that we haven't actually started school has anything to do with this.

Photographers, Photoshop users: I just discovered, a thousand years later, that Save for Web strips EXIF data from photos. (I've wondered for a long time why my EXIF data won't show up on my Flickr photos.) Do I have a setting wrong, or is this the nature of the Save for Web beast?

Color makes me happy.
Especially if it's sugar-coated.

I just bought myself a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser in DFW airport. With refills. What does it all mean? A temporary plunge into the innocence of childhood? A nostalgic affection for Sanrio products? Or a hormonally-driven craving for sweets? I may never know.

Am on my way to San Diego to BlogHer! If anyone needs me, I'll be hiding in my hotel room, sucking my thumb and watching American Chopper.

Brilliant post by my friend BooMama on what TV series are worth watching on DVD. I now want to watch all five of them.

Today I made breakfast pizza, rigatoni and meatballs, strawberry shortcake cake, drip beef sandwiches, peach beggar's purses, eggs benedict, eggs florentine, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a mess.

{Quite possibly the easiest decorated cookies EVER!}

I'm afraid I'm having a little too much fun with my new website section. I guess I had a few things I needed to talk about.

I think this is my favorite Mother Teresa quote:
"If we have no peace, it's because we've forgotten that we belong to each other."
It says so much.
I love it.

I made one of +David Leite 's recipes from his cookbook: White Gazpacho with Crab Salad. It...was...splendid. So cool and perfect during this hellish heat. There's a little chopping involved...but after that, it's just dump and mix. YUM!

I just sat down at my computer. A Google search result for "How to Rap" was on my screen. I am now launching my investigation. The curiosity is killing me.

This is +Helene Dujardin 's husband (they're both visiting the ranch this weekend.) Name that celebrity doppelgänger! Eerie.

Today I posted at +Ree Drummond's Homeschooling Blog: "Does School Help or Hurt Intellectual Growth?" inspired by a piece I read via +Jaelithe Judy.

If you don't read my post, please read the linked article within it. It's fabulous food for thought for any parent, homeschooler or not.

Around the first of next April, would someone please remind me of how excruciatingly hot it was (is going to be) last (this) July, and that it took (will take) me over an hour and a half to water all the things I decided (am getting ready to decide) to plant? Oh, and please tell me to put an electric fence around my garden. Tell me to trust you on this one. Thank you for your cooperation.

Today I made cherry sherbet and then, to be different, blackberry ice cream. They look exactly the same. Kind of like when I spent two hours getting my hair dyed exactly the same color as it was when I entered the salon. Or something. Never mind.

Here's what I love about Google+ in general and the Google+ Diet in particular:

Instead of saying, "I'm going to write a blog post now," or "I'm going to send an e-mail" or "I think I'll tweet something" you simply say what you have to say, then decide who you're going to say it to.

If you address it to "Public," it's a blog post.

If you address it to "Your Circles" it's a tweet.

If you address it to your "My Customers" Circle it's a business newsletter.

If you address it to a single person, it can be a letter to your mother.

I'd say this is pretty revolutionary.

I woke up to five horses in my garden. It isn't pretty, and my dogs are fired. Goodbye forever.

Just had this. If you haven't yet tried it, it'll change your life. At least the part of your life that relates to coffee.
