Programming Note

There is no The Squirrel Can Cook today. I will be out of the office until Monday. That is all. As you were. Carry on.

Busy! Busy! Busy!

As you've no doubt noticed, I've not done much blogging this week... or last week, either, for that matter. Anyway, I've been busy. It happens. There's no Nut Cache again this week. In fact, I don't have a recipe ready for tomorrow's blog, so there will be no The Squirrel Can Cook this week. (I'm cooking a great hashbrown casserole for my hosts in Oregon... I'll blog that recipe sometime soon!)(Especially if they like it...)

Today, I'm driving to Newberg, OR, to meet up with some friends, hang out all day Friday, and then go watch James White debate Robert Sungenis on the topic of purgatory at the Believer's Reason Conference 2010. Then it's into the car right as the debate ends, drive all night to get to home, nap a few hours, and then drive to Missoula to watch my Montana Grizzlies play Northern Arizona University on Saturday.

I hope to return to a more normal bloggy schedule next week.

Sorry. Busy. Life. Deal with it.

I'm going to be busy most of today, and, yes, I know that I'm way behind on my blogging. Sorry. Life. Deal with it.

Anyway, since there's nothing new here today, I thought I'd point you towards this excellent post by Majastatic.

Keep watching this space!

A Brief Programing Note

I really need to learn to stop saying that I'm going to publish something "tomorrow!" It always seems that, whenever I do, Providence seems to always dictate otherwise.

This week just seemed to fill with other things, and I haven't had the time to write that I desired. First, my sister and her family were in town over the weekend, which, coupled with the Fourth and all, resulted in lots of fun and too much food, but not much writing. Then yesterday was my birthday & I got a Nook & I've been playing with it and reading books and not doing any writing. And now, here it is, Wednesday afternoon, and I've not posted anything all week... except this, which doesn't really count.

The good news is that the Nut Cache for tomorrow is done, as is The Squirrel Can Cook for Friday. Next week's The Squirrel Can Cook is already in the works.

My few "thoughts on the role of patriotism in the life of the Christian," that I said would be posted Monday, are busy becoming... something else. Something more then a few random thoughts. Stay tuned, there will be something soon?. Yes, "soon."

Also in the works is a long overdue resumption of the Defending Dordt series, as well as the next post in the What A Squirrel Believes series. Plus, sometime before the end of the summer, I plan on doing a book review of Whosoever Will.

So, stay tuned. Busy summer ahead!

The Squirrel Did Not Cook This Week... Again...

With the unexpected trip to Idaho Falls earlier in the week, time really got away from me. I did not have time to prepare a meal for the blog. I assure you, loyal reader, that I do have a nice file of recipes for upcoming The Squirrel Can Cook features.

Meanwhile, here's a nice squirrelly video for you to enjoy. (h.t. Jonathan Hunter)



Also, here's a recipe I tried a while back. It's very good. Give it a try, and let me know what you think.

Be Back Soon!

I haven't forgotten that I have a blog. I do have plans to return to a more regular blogging schedule soon. Keep checking back!


It was real fun to meet Craig and Heather and their family last week. To everybody else, do let me know if you're passing through Western Montana. We'd love to be able to say, "Hi!" and have a cup of coffee or a piece of pie or something.

Abnormal Week Ahead

This is going to be a busy, and slightly disjointed, week. Mrs. Squirrel is taking two days of vacation, to turn the three-day weekend into a five-day-er, so that we can get some of the spring cleaning chores done about the place. We've had several trees blow down over the winter that need to be chainsawed up, and general policing about the place.

I tell you this to inform you that my blogging may be erratic this week. Be advised, internet is spotty and unpredictable out in the woods... Also, I've got about 6 or 7 half-done things to be finished up and posted, but nothing ready today... (I've got to get more organized about this, that's for sure)

I'm also up a creek with Friday's The Squirrel Can Cook segment, as this week's recipe was kind of a flop... I'll perfect it, though, but for now, I've no idea what we'll be cooking on Friday. (We'll cook something though.)

Keep checking back, though, as there's no telling what the week will bring. Just know that, whatever normal is around here, this week isn't.
