I'm Groovin' On These


First, I love this Bromeliad given to me by my friend and neighbor JoBeth just after my Daddy passed away.  I love the colors and the almost NO care it needs...

Someone sent me a similar one (although more pinky) when Ben was born and the beautiful bloom stayed on it for months and months.

Thanks JoBeth!!


I also love my dear group of High School girlfriends!  We're currently working on a little project together, and I feel sure that we will all soon be celebrities or stars or maybe just notorious.  At the very least we will all just be closer than ever and have more fun than most people can imagine!

And Spanx.. I love Spanx.


If you don't have one of these (I love it!)



you must go get one.

This one happens to be the Griddler Junior by Cuisinart, but there are tons of brands and sizes.  I put EVERYTHING in it now.  Sandwiches, chicken breasts, bacon.

And sweet mercy, the quesadillas it turns out. Just the right crispiness to the tortilla and just the right meltiness to the cheese.

And proper cheese meltiness is critical I tell you.


And speaking of quesadillas, I have a friend who e-mails me almost every day and asks what I'm making for supper (dinner).  I don't know why, just curious I suppose.  Here's the last couple of days

Tuesday- I baked up the nicest little Rosemary Biscuits (just  4 ingredients!!) and made little sandwiches using the biscuits and some thinly sliced pork roast I had left from another meal.  I also made a great little side/salad/dip from canned black-eyed peas, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, bell pepper seasonings, and a quick vinaigrette.  We ate it with chips!  Everything is good with chips!

Wednesday - Jambalaya made with some leftover rice (from the same meal as the pork roast), roasted corn on the cob with Lime Parmesan Butter (yum) and guacamole. 

Ole. 

I know I jumped ethnicity there, but I had some avocados that just couldn't be trusted to hold out much longer.

It was an international meal.  Yes, we traveled the world.   In the middle of the week.


The flights are less crowded then.




What do you love these days?

Must get several of these food-ironing gizmos. >scribbling shopping list< what kind of price are we talking here? REALLY good wedding gift category?

I'm loving dessert, cheeseburgers (real cheeseburgers - not this fast food business) and spaghetti these days. Don't judge me, it's for the baby ;-)

No judging from me. I don't even have the baby excuse and I love cheeseburgers!
