You wanna know what we did Saturday night? Here’s a clue: Yep, we went to the Bob Dylan concert at the Winstar Casino. When I heard he would be performing somewhere so close I knew this was an opportunity we shouldn’t pass up. And because David likes to indulge my whims, he got online and…
Thankful Thursday
My friend who blogs at CrazyLadyx5 posted what she is thankful for today and that sounded like a good idea to me. So here’s my list for today: Air conditioning: We’ve had day after day of 100+ temperatures so air conditioning was the first thing I thought of when I began writing this. My husband: David…
Vive la France!
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…

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…
Summer scene
Isn’t that pretty? I brought my dad some green beans cooked with new potatoes (a favorite of his and mine) and a couple of slices of cantaloupe this evening. I visited with my parents about an hour and a half and as I was leaving I snapped this picture of their pasture. I love the…
Justin Wilson – Gumbo
I used to love watching Justin Wilson on PBS on Saturday mornings. Don’t be surprised if you see gumbo on my menu soon. 😉
