musings and a bit of begging at the end

Another Thanksgiving, come and gone. How does time go so fast? I have a decent amount of leftovers which some will become a wonderful turkey tetrazzini tomorrow or the next night. A few sandwiches, a soup and we’ll be done. Our fill of turkey.  Tonight I made a lasagna, not being about to think turkey [...]

Santa came early

Our tv was not old by MY standards. We got it about 7 or 8 years ago, the newest on the market of the time. We were on the cutting edge of tv watching. But, as in all areas of technology, not for long.
Lately, though, the television had a bad habit of emitting a high [...]

leftovers

To answer DebbieB’s question (she said: “I can’t stand the suspense! Didja cut it???”). Yes. I did. Now, I’m just assuming that she is indeed asking about the pumpkin pie. She may have been sidetracked and is asking me if I cut the well, ahem. Cheese. But I doubt it. Because we never talk about [...]

Blessings abound

Give thanks for the blessings
that daily are ours
The warmth of the sun

is filled with Thanksgiving

1. Julia Child, Though I have admired her most of my life (I was one of those kids sitting in front of her cooking show [...]

Favorite dishes

My thoughts are all wrapped up around the Thanksgiving meal as of today. I love to plan the meal. It’s almost as fun as the eating. Maybe (truthfully) more fun. The planning goes on all week but the eating, well, you know how long THAT takes.
The dish that I look forward to the most? Is [...]

TGIF

In the little light that we had left when I got home from work, I tried very hard to get a Friday Eye Candy photo. To no avail, really. It was really windy out so all of those pictures are fuzzy. Mitchell did not cooperate. Knitting is not growing so fast to be interesting. The [...]

My thankfulness goes on… Thankful Thursday!

~On these frosty mornings, I am thankful for the scarves that I have knit. Nothing makes me happier than a warm neck!
~I am thankful that I have the ability to knit something, to warm my neck.
~I am thaaaankful for all the sheep who gave their wool so that I can knit a scarf to keep [...]
