Hello, my beautiful friends! Sorry for the delay it's tax week and I've been a little busy getting all my tax information together. What can I say I am a chronic procrastinator. Then at the same time, I was getting my tax information together I also fell down a rabbit hole researching my ancestry. I'm on the hunt for a missing ancestor. So, I need the entire island of Puerto Rico to do me a favor and do an Ancestry DNA test to see if I can trace my g-g-grandfather. If you can all get right on that I would appreciate it, mmm-kay? I am telling you it is turning into an obsession. I started to seriously consider starting a Puerto Rican Ancestry DNA campaign. But, let's be honest that also sounds a little creeper. But, I totally have plans to spend my evening digging through more ancestry records. I've been doing ancestry research on and off for close to 10 years now. I would love to have a professional genealogist help me out for a bit, especially with the DNA stuff, but those people are expensive!

Have you ever done ancestry research? Got an tips or resources?

Corn season is around the corner. What's the easiest way to cut corn off the cob?

How many times have you tried to cut corn off the cob just to have the kernels go flying everywhere? Next time a large bowl and place a smaller bowl upside down inside of it. Place the corn in the center and when you cut off the kernels the larger bowl will catch all the kernels. You can also use a bundt pan in the same way. No more chasing corn kernels.

"What is the best wine for cooking?"

You would be surprised how often I am asked this question and my answer is always a wine that you would enjoy drinking. Mainly because that way you can drink it while cooking. But when it comes to cooking with wine there is really no wrong wine. When cooking with white wine I like to go with a crisp white wine, like pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or an unoaked chardonnay.When cooking with a red wine I like to use a merlot, pinot noir, or cabernet. The one thing I will say is stay away from "cooking wine", it's basically just salted vinegar.

If you have a question please submit it here!
