Chicken Lo Mein

I started seeing cooking vids from Justin Holmes in my FB feed. I have really enjoyed watching his videos as he comes across as just a dad that wants to feed his family and likes to cook. Seems like a regular guy. This is the first of his recipes that I tried. And in my house, mushrooms go in just about anything, so I added mushrooms to this.

Tim’s Life – Just a Place to Keep My Thoughts

I’ve had this domain name registered for many years and had a site going for a while. And then life takes over and the time it takes to maintain it seems to outweigh the cost to keep paying for the hosting. But after several years, and significant life changes, I felt like I wanted a place to  post my thoughts, recipes I like, messages on grief that I find comforting. I don’t expect many people, or anyone really, to visit here, but if you do – Welcome!
