I have been making scalloped potatoes for many years, a dish I learned to make with my mother, but I did not think about adding green chile to the dish until years ago when I found myself with freshly roasted green chile left over from a batch prepped for chile rellenos.
I chopped the chile and thought I would add it as a topping to the baked potato bar as we were grilling steaks the following day.
Instead, I opted to make scalloped potatoes because I could make them ahead to serve later and that was when the recipe Read More

Home Country: MundoSlab
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
A building project (for those of us who are carpenterially challenged) can be a confusing nightmare of little whatchits we never learned the name of and have no idea how to use.
Oh, if we need a two-by-four that’s eight-feet long, we’re on pretty safe ground and can head on over to MundoSlab, the building center that dedicates about half an acre to tar paper. It’s fun going over there, and you never know when you’ll find something you can’t live without. You can buy the stuff in there from the kid who mowed your lawn until a month ago.
But when the real tough parts of a project Read More
Fr. Glenn: Little One, Arise
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
We are often amazed (and no less often humbled) by people who are willing to give of themselves to others, whether in material support or, often more impressively, of their very valuable time. And it can seem that those who are busiest are the ones most willing to give, much like the poor often support charities and their churches more generously income percentage-wise than those who are more comfortably well off.
But really … what is of more worth than giving someone in real need a hand up? Are such persons not the most cherished in our memories when we have been the one needing support, Read More

Fr. Glenn: That Pernicious Desire
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
What is it that tends to consume us so mightily? It is why we seek the most expensive things, the richest clothing, flaunt the flashiest jewelry, buy the fanciest car, possess the most magnificent residence that we can possibly obtain … even to the point of going into crippling and self-destructive debt and behavior in doing so. Why post infinite selfies on social media and constant attempts at gleaning attention for ourselves. Why the thirsty ear for juicy gossip and information to hurriedly spread throughout our circle of acquaintances?
Simply so that we might be admired Read More
