Hello dear readers. I’m back and I’m excited to share with you once again. My blog is going to take a turn from the posting of food and menus. I’m not saying I won’t do that from time to time, but I have a real need to have this be MY place to share the…
Q is for Comfort
“We collect so may unnecessary things…only here and now I realized that you can get by with a minimum amount of things and clothes. Without excess I enjoy communication with children, grandson and pets. I will sew at home. When we have a peaceful life.”
Personal Reflections on Memorial Day
Memorial: to commemorate someone or something. A record or chronicle. Memorial Day: A day to commemorate the men and women who paid the ultimate price in the theater of war. Not a day to thank a service person…that day comes in September (though it should be everyday). This day is reserved for men and women…
Thirsty Thursday – Cucumber Basil Mojito
Look! You’re getting a twofer today! Today IS Thursday, after all. With the garden ramping up production, I felt another garden themed drink this week. I have plenty of cucumbers and lots of herbs so I actually searched Pinterest for a cocktail with herbs and cucumbers. This one looked nice and refreshing and it was…
What’s for Dinner Wednesday?
Apparently, TODAY is not Wednesday. That was yesterday. A fact that I continually had to remind myself of….yesterday. Yet today I awoke thinking that it was Wednesday…today. So…either I’m living a continual “Groundhog’s Day” in my head or I’m jumping through the metaverse and landing on Wednesday? Or…and this seems more likely…I have been VERY…
World Watercolor Month – July 16 – 22
This week really threw some challenging prompts my way, but that’s what I like most about this process. That said, I struggled with this week’s prompts more than most in the last 2 cycles of this challenge. Take my VERY limited beginner painting skills and put it up to a prompt like confident. Yeah. I…
Thirsty Thursday – Monarch Gimlet
I was drinking when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray. Haha…I’ve got you singing it now! So today I had an idea of what I wanted to do for Thirsty Thursday. It’s hot and I wanted something refreshing. I also knew I wanted something that used my beautiful Empress Gin because it’s…
What’s for Dinner Wednesday
Have you ever had meal block? Or maybe just the meal blahs? Not sure what to do with those leftovers? You’re not alone! Believe me. I’ve been there and I’ve seen many people on social media lately who are in the same boat. It can be so difficult figuring out how to keep it fresh….
World Watercolor Month – 7/9 – 7/15
We’re half-way through and I think this week I began to leave my requirement that everything should present as solid lines and color and I allow the watercolors to wash and blend as they are meant to. It feels better this week and I love this feeling of “letting go”. I need to have it…
Thirsty Thursday – Coffee Old Fashioned
I love a play on a classic and I loved this one much more than I suspected I would. As a matter of fact, I made one for the “brunch” hour (okay, it was 9 a.m.) on Sunday and then a second around noon. It was SO GOOD! And I didn’t even have bourbon proper…
What’s for Dinner Wednesday
Does it seem to anyone else that I just posted Wednesday meals yesterday? I can’t keep up! The meals of this past week were delicious and used up some leftover foods, but tonight’s dinner of homemade Gnocchi made with leftover mashed potatoes were other-worldly. Now I’ve tried to make gnocchi before, but I’ve just never…
World Watercolor Month – 7/1-7/8
Well, I’ve made it through the first week of World Watercolor Month. The prompts have been SUPER challenging to say the least. This is both a complaint and a praise. I do, after all, enjoy a good challenge. After nearly a year away from my brushes and paints I must say that my skills are…
Thirsty Thursday – Laughing Buddha
About three weeks ago we were having breakfast with some friends who were visiting from out of state. Somehow or other, the conversation turned to mixed drinks and my interest in mixology. My friend’s hubby picked up his phone and started feverishly searching for something. He explained that he had a drink once when in…
