Don't think I've stopped eatin', that hasn't happened yet... Haven't posted in here in a while, so thought I would post a pic of some grilled cornish hens that my 13 year old daughter did on the weber a couple weeks ago. These were really good, she…

I can say, without a doubt, that this is some bodacious chili! I got to eat some of it. Of course, you had to be quick because it was gone in a heartbeat. Not the kind of chili I'm used to - being from the south - but my opinion was that it should h…

Exactly!!! I love summer food that requires no cooking - well, except for outdoor grilling, of course. Funny that you mentioned chicken in a tortilla. I've actually tried that and it works extremely well!

YUM. That sounds good and the best thing is: NO COOKING! I bet this would be really good with grilled chicken in a tortilla......

Holiday Recipe Exchange - Log Home style

Ok, so it's not exactly log home related, but who doesn't like to eat—especially around the holidays, right? A few months ago, we created a Community recipe exchange in our Just For Fun forum. A few people posted, but we kind of let it die off. Now that the holiday season is upon us, member Glenn V has rekindled my enthusiasm by sharing his mother's recipe for Delicious Raw Apple Cake. Sounds perfect for Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to try it. Check it out and post your own culinary concoction… Continue

Nothing stops the log home faithful-Not even Hurricane Ike

Forget the postal carrier's creed of rain, sleet, snow... whatever. When it comes to braving the weather no matter what Mother Nature can dish out, nothing beats the log home faithful. And I witnessed it first hand at our Log & Timber Home Show in Louisville, Kentucky, a little more than a week ago. On Sunday, the last day of the 3-day event, Hurricane Ike came barreling through the Midwest, making a beeline for Louisville. And yes, when… Continue

Golden Eagle Log Homes helps sponsor a charity event for those affected by cancer

I recently received this press release about how Golden Eagle Log Homes donated its showcase home for a charity event to help ease the burden of those affected by cancer. It does my heart good to know that we're involved with such a thoughtful industry, so I had to share. I hope anyone who's in the Wisconsin region (or those willing to travel for an excellent cause) is able to attend. - Donna

All-American Fun

I just traveled back in time. At least it felt like it. My husband, daughter and I just returned from an extended 4th of July weekend at his aunt and uncle's lakeside vacation house at Indian Lake, Ohio. On the 4th itself, 14 of us gathered for an old-fashioned family picnic, where we chowed down on burgers and watermelon, played lawn games (I learned the art of "cornhole"--a beanbag-toss game that's all the rage… Continue

I attended a log home show and seminar at Valley Forge this year. At the seminar, a work book was given out as a reference (2007 edition). There were links to Free online resources that no longer appear active. I am very interested in the cost estimating worksheet. Can you assist me in finding this information? Thanks, Chris Yaletchko

I'm a rustic artist and enjoy making unique end tables, benches, coffee table etc. I have been fascinated with log homes since I was a teenager and have 5 acre in Okeana Ohio. My wife and I plan to build in due time! would like to chat sometime!

I learned a few things,thank you, but now I have to wait for the next issue. Ever think of making the magazine by weekly??? grinning, I do read the magazines more than once. I got a storage tupper ware type box with dividers in to clip articles and pictures out of magazines for designing help on our log home.
