In honor of Bastille Day I would like to share a little French musique: Merci to one of my favorite “French bloggers”, French Essence, for sharing this lovely chanson.
Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
I wish I knew where I got this recipe so I could give proper credit but I’ve had it in my email recipe file for ages. I finally got around to trying it last night and it’s a keeper. Slow cooker recipes are very helpful on hot summer days. And it’s especially nice to not…
Peach or Blackberry Pudding/Cobbler
Yesterday I made a peach cobbler from some overripe peaches I had. I used a very easy recipe given to me by a friend years ago. The original recipe calls for blackberries but most any fruit will do. I just cut up the peaches in small pieces — didn’t even peel them. If “cobbler” means…
Morning Harvest
My plans for a big vegetable garden haven’t quite panned out due to extreme heat and no rain. However, I did plant some potatoes a couple of months ago and today I decided to see what might be lurking beneath the soil. I pulled out a few small potatoes from one of the buckets. I…
Menu Plan Monday ~ July 11, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas. Last week was even busier than I anticipated and a couple of my planned meals didn’t get prepared. That will explain the repeat this week. I *think* this week will be more normal but you never know! David’s boss is in town today so we might be going out…
French Friday
Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these. I haven’t been posting all that much lately but I’m going to get back to it. I promise! So…French Friday. Have you seen “Midnight in Paris” yet? If not, you absolutely must. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. …
Menu Plan…Tuesday?
Click here for more menu ideas. I’m sorry this is late. I meant to do this last night after dinner but David and I started watching old Golden Girls episodes and seven episodes later, it was almost midnight. We haven’t seen it in quite awhile but it is still a really funny show. It was…
Patriotism
Patriotism isn’t a solely American virtue. People the world over experience love, pride and loyalty to the nation of their birth. None of us has any control over where we were born so I find it interesting to encounter undue pride over this accident of birth. I think we often forget that the British…
Best friends
I know the photo quality is terrible but the original is rather faded and this is a “picture of a picture”. This is me (on right) and my dear cousin, Sue, on the first day of school in 1968. She was starting kindergarten and I was going into first grade. Yes, our mothers often dressed…
