I hate it when I lose my posts! I had it all done, I hit ‘save’ and it disappeared. It was time to make dinner so here I am, doing a repeat with my morning coffee. Oh well…. Probably wasn’t interesting anyway. (I believe that’s referred to as ‘Sour Grapes Rationalization’ if I recall my Psych 101 class correctly… And, did you know that the French pronounce that ‘psike’ – … Continue reading →
Yes, I’m still playing with food. I’m also trying to catch up on all the photos I took in the last few months that have been languishing in the ‘to be posted’ folder. I decided I should make a clean start with the new year – as soon as I clean up the old folders, that is. This was good…. and easy and healthy. What more can you ask … Continue reading →
I had phyllo left after my last adventure with Herb and Zucchini Phyllo Pies. Naturally, I still have zucchini. So I decided to give it another try.

And part of finishing the hall is to build book cases lining one wall. When the book cases are done….. I can, finally, unpack the rest of my books. I have about 20 boxes of books … Continue reading →
One more holiday weekend…. Eat, Drink and be Merry, for tomorrow we may diet! You might find one or all of these small bites I made useful for a New Year's party. Our neighbor hosted a small Christmas dinner party, for those of us, who, like themselves, were having a quiet Christmas. She made the main course, another guest made the Christmas Pudding (brought to the table flaming with lots … Continue reading →
I'm trying to tidy my desktops – both the one that sits on my computer and the one that my computer sits on. Never an easy task. The puppies have been taking all of my time lately, and things have rather piled up. The vet cleared Bonnie for serious play this morning and I can now throw them outside without supervision. Naturally, they spent the rest of the day napping … Continue reading →
