An afternoon with friends

October 18, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Last night we saw the movie “The Social Network”, which was excellent.  It was still early when the movie let out so we went to the North Lounge for a drink and a snack.  A friend was there alone, having just gotten off work, and we joined him.  Shortly after we got there, George, the…

Life on the patio…

October 16, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

All summer we went out with friends at least once and often twice a week.  These weren’t usually planned affairs but more of the “Let’s do something tonight” variety.  We met for dinners, enjoyed live music at various venues, did a bit of karaoke and mostly just hung out together enjoying one another’s company. Then…

French Friday – While you were sleeping…

October 15, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I think my favorite recurring dream is the one where I discover a previously unknown room in my house.  I know I like that one better than the “naked in public” dream, or the one where the curtain is about to open and I realize I didn’t memorize my lines.  Or the one where…oh, never…

A bit of insight…

October 15, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here or just on Dee’s Kitchen, but we are currently vegetarian.  Well, if you want to be precise, we are lacto-ovo-pescetarians.  In other words, we eat dairy, eggs and seafood (at least when in New Orleans), but no meat.  It all started about a year ago when our…

Recipe Review…

Just a quick post to say that I made Kim’s Curried Soup tonight and it was quite good.  I made the vegetarian version with chickpeas.  In addition to the vegetables called for in the recipe, I also included some diced red bell pepper.  Instead of kale, I used fresh spinach and I also added a…

Remembering…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Today would have been my grandmother’s 97th birthday.  She passed away almost a year ago and if anything, I miss her more as time goes by.  A couple of weeks ago I was in an antique store and found myself in tears while looking at household objects which reminded me of her.  She was such…

The Gift…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

David bought me an absolutely perfect birthday gift last year.  He paid for five massages with the most incredible massage therapist.  Well, I’ve only been to one other so I suppose I can’t say for sure, but I will tell you that I left feeling like a wet noodle after today’s session.  Indiana (isn’t that…

Memory Lane Monday…The Dick Van Dyke Show

October 11, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I absolutely adore this show.  We have several episodes on DVD and I watched this one on Friday.  I thought I’d seen most of the episodes but somehow I’d missed this one.  It’s a fine example of just why this show was popular in its time and yet still remains entertaining for today’s audience.  It…
