When writers do not write
Time flies. When a writer does not write, the imagination stagnates, the style gets rusty. When you try to get back to writing, you are groping for words to come together. You feel like you’ve lost your talent, the gift of writing. Writers who promote developing a discipline to write everyday are so right. Write something everyday, even the most boring or mundane thought- write it down.

A Little Bit About Beef Jerky
Beef jerky is believed to have originated in South America in the early 1800s or earlier. Ancestors of the Inca Empire made a product similar to beef jerky, using the meat from game animals such as deer, elk and buffalo. They salted strips of meat and allowed them to dry in the sun or over hot coals for long periods of time. This method of drying allowed the natives an excellent source of food when fresh meat was not available. The dried meat, if properly stored, could be kept for very long periods of time. Upon the arrival of the Spanish explorers the secrets of ch’arki (charqui) were shared with the rest of the world. The pioneers of North America built smoke houses and hung pieces of meat, (buffalo and beef) over a fire to smoke cure the meat. Beef Jerky is made when the meat is flavored first and then dried and smoked. By adding spice and herbs they were able to make the dried meat much more palatable. Over the years Beef Jerky has become a very popular snack and comes in many, many different flavors and flavor intensities. It takes about 5 pounds of meat to make 1 pound of jerky. You can use most wild game meats, deer, moose, or elk to make jerky as well as domestic meats, including beef, pork and turkey.

The Diabetic Friendly Chicken Cacciatore
I hope you are seeing the signs of Spring where you are. Here in North Texas it is beginning to be very Spring-like and none too soon! As I sit here at my computer, looking out my upstairs window, I see sunshine and green leaves on the trees. If Spring is enticing you to spend more and more time outside, that may mean less time in the kitchen. Today I posted a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore Fettucine that is healthy and only requires about half an hour to prepare and cook. Toss a salad or steam some broccoli and you can have a quick, easy, and healthy meal in minutes. (If you prefer to use sugar instead of Splenda, substitute the same amount.)
