Merry Christmas.

Our best wishes to you all for this holiday season and a safe, healthy, and contented New Year. 

Unusual Timing

This is the first time in ten years both of my Christmas cactus have bloomed at the same time. 

This Can't be our Forecast

+10 on Saturday?!?

Mixed Emotions

With the installation of the corner pieces, the kitchen cupboard doors, a project started in 2011, are completed.

I am delighted. Tthe Geek doesn't like them. 

The Brussel Sprout Mystery

Don't get me wrong; I like brussel sprouts, but unlike some other fruits and vegetables that are a pretty colour, or smell delicious, brussel sprouts are...green. And usually they are so hidden in the leaves of the plant, you can't see them. Who was the first cook who decided to give them a try?

 

These ones were kind of tiny, not big enough to prepare my favourite way with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and pecans, so I put them in a pot with a can of stewed italian tomatoes and a can of pork and beans. That may sound odd and somewhat disgusting, but it was pretty good.

We odd ones must stick together.

Lest We Forget
