I need to get my hair cut., with my round face and bushy hair I am beginning to look a lot like a basketball. I also need to get busy on my thank you notes...had so much fun last night...until.....long story! Our hostess is 82 years old and cooked everything from scratch including the peach pie. She made a salad that brought tears to my eyes...haven't had it since my mother used to make it...very crunchy with celery and grn pepper in a geletin..must make an allrecipe.com search for that.

Oh the theatre! It was a two hr. tape she'd made twenty years ago of Big Band stuff....Mel Torme, Jack Jones...Buddy Rich..etc. She and I swooned while Mr.Alffe talked and talked and talked to the other couple.


I love to cook and keep failing.. going to try again today to make garlic paste and flatbread with my new rolling pin. I am beginning to think I need a griddle for flatbread. At least I have succeed twice in making the paste and the restaurant owner assures me that she still fails often in the process....but when you succeed... (there isn't an icon of pure joy! *grin)

I love having an herb garden...when we finally sell this old house I have to have a place with a yard big enough for some herbs. It's also fun to pick tomatos for lunch.

Can you tell that I am working hard at staying positive inspite of all the negativaty around me??? Enough of that!

Now, what's on your plate?
