Mamacita says: What’s a Hoosier Thanksgiving feast without persimmon pudding? A travesty, that’s what! Whoever heard of such a thing? Ridiculous. Persimmons don’t grow in too many places, so chances are good that most of you have never heard of them. However, southern Indiana is a persimmon tree’s favorite home, and the trees grow healthy [...]

. . . and use it all the days of your life. Thanksgiving isn’t really just one day, you know. It’s just the one day wherein we are all reminded that EVERY day is a day of thanksgiving in one way or another. Some people consider this official Thanksgiving Day to be politically incorrect, but [...]

Mamacita says: Don’t tell anybody, but I’m only pretending to be upset that all the stores are getting ready for Christmas. Yes, it’s too early. Yes, Thanksgiving really does deserve some undivided attention. Etc. The fact is, I love Christmas, and even more than Christmas, I love preparing for Christmas. This entails far more than [...]

Mamacita says: 1. I do not like this holiday overlap so prevalent today, yet my tree is up and ready. Inconsistency, thy name is Jane. 2. I host Thanksgiving for my family, and I look forward to it with an avidity that is actually frightening, and would probably scare ‘em all off if they knew [...]

Mamacita says: 1. I haven’t taken the wreath off the front door. I can’t. It’s been pouring down rain for three solid days, and I can’t put the wreath away soaking wet, can I? Besides, I like to see it still there, telling the world that within this house dwell people who know how to [...]

Mamacita says: I baked three more pies tonight; the cherry pie turned out fine, but the two pecan pies boiled over and the bottom of my oven is covered with sticky carmelized sugar and the whole house smells like “Is something burning?” I had to open the patio doors to let the smoke out; I [...]

Mamacita says: What is this “leftovers” thing I’ve been hearing about? I don’t think we have any of that. That’s why I’m baking more pies tonight. The company is still arriving and the first two batches done et up all the pie! I love Thanksgiving. And company: I love you even more. Keep driving up; [...]

Mamacita says: Education is important in so many ways; it would be impossible to list them all. No way. Not possible. However, I think we can all safely say that the main two components that determine whether or not our children will be properly educated are the children themselves, and the teachers. Our children are [...]

Mamacita says: There were times when “I’m late” meant something completely different. 1. I finally figured out the main reason I hate most rap: I can’t stand “near rhymes.” 2. I’m putting up my Christmas tree, which always gives me a bad nosebleed. If I tell you that I’ve collected wondrous ornaments since 1973 before [...]
