Finding joy in the desert. Friday, December 24, 2010. This too shall pass. This Too, Shall Pass Away. By Paul Hamilton Hayne, American editor, writer, poet. 8220;Art thou in misery, brother?

Tom's Trees: Fir Tea

http://tomscaroliniantrees.blogspot.com/2010/01/fir-tea.html

Monday, January 25, 2010. The needles of this tree, as with all Fir trees, contain a strong resin which remains in a liquid state in temperatures down to a bone-chilling -40 degrees celcius! However, it is not just the resin in the blisters that contain all of these perks. The resin found in the needles does as well! The needles are believed to contain 4 times as much vitamin C when compared to oranges, measured in equal weight. That is incredible! It is also best to dry the needles for at least a week b...

Kitchen Empress: Stupidly easy balsamic chicken

http://kitchenempress.blogspot.com/2009/05/stupidly-easy-balsamic-chicken.html

Monday, May 4, 2009. Stupidly easy balsamic chicken. As far as recipes go, it doesn't get easier than this. I was once told that this dish is Mexican in origin, but to me it represents the fusion of cultures that comes of the Romance Languages Department that I've called home for the past 6 years. 8 chicken thighs (it's perfectly OK to leave the bones in and the skin on). 1/2 cup 2 Tbsp olive oil. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. 1/2 large sweet onion, sliced. 2 Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
