Default What's on your plate....

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?

I'm cleaning frantically - big time cleaning, throwing away giant piles of stuff, gathering loads of things my sister can sell at her garage sale. ........ husband bought a new site of land just 2 miles from "town" and lined up a realtor so we will be selling this house in about 9 months. Complicated reasons.......
I thought I had all this CLEANING finished. lol lol A

I'm going away for our Canadian Long weekend.
Looking forward to lots of friends, music and song!
Doesn't get better than that.

Still have to pack, clean and trim my toe nails!

see you all next week!

Alffe - I'm sure that was fun. My mom was a Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw groupie.

Goofy and Wren - Have fun staying out of trouble and cleaning. Wait a minute - that doesn't sound like fun.

Bizi - If we ever get the chance to meet, please warn me beforehand if you've eaten Alffe's garlic paste.

Addy - Have a wonderful time.

I'm bracing for an extended period of heat and humidity without any AC. A day or two here and there isn't bad, but those stretches can be dangerous. I'm still amazed we lost over 700 people to a summer heat spell one year. I feel like I'm about to step into the boxing ring with Mother Nature.

My husband installed a fan in the attic this morning to see if we can draw in a breeze around here. I was so impressed he didn't fall through the ceiling, and the house is still standing.

Work, work, work, work...and more work. I need to find a rich man with one foot in the proverbial grave who adores me and will leave me all of his money so I can retire.

Alffe, I know exactly what you mean about having fresh tomatoes to pick for lunch. I love having fresh basil to go with the fresh tomatoes for lunch as well.

I've got too much on my plate at the moment... either that or it's the usual amount but I'm just not in the right mood to deal with it all. People! sheesh. I'm longing for a deserted island.

Oh Lara, add some mozarella cheese to those tomatos and sweet basil, with a drizzle of olive oil..... Sometimes I just pick a bunch of sweet basil and bring it into the kitchen cause it smells so wonderful. Nothing wrong with fresh rosemary either but you have to keep stroking it to get the fragrance.

My sister spent the night and we had a slice of cantalope with blueberries and a sliced banana for breakfast. I love this time of year!
