Regina Beckmann, Who Are You?

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.”

The Best Measuring Spoons for People Who Love to Cook

Do you have a favorite utensil in the kitchen? I have several, but these measuring spoons are easily at the top of my list. They magnetically fit together. They are stainless steel and dishwasher safe. They are double ended and they area colorful. I love these tools! They have certainly upped my cooking game. These…

Navigating Life After a Heart Attack: Our Journey

Hey friends! I’m back and I endeavor to bring you weekly posts, at the very least. In this post, I hope to get you caught up on the main event of 2024 and let you know what has changed and how we are coping. There is a lot to unpack, so get comfortable. The Main…

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…
