Groovy music...

Couple of bands to give a try: The Bastard Fairies and Nathan Singleton and His Sideshow Tragedy

I found them!


Giada... from Everyday Italian uses some purdy cool porcelain measuring spoons which I looked everywhere for. These are the most similar I could find.

A little drizzle of EVOO...


I covet this oil bottle.

Groovy gifts


I like this tray from Wishingfish. And I'm thinking the ice cream ball will be a cool different kind of gift for an 11 yr old I know.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Go to Pandora to get your dose of holiday music! Jingle Jingle all the way....

Table settings.



Don't think you have to have a stiff, formal, matchy-match table setting. This picture proves that there is something dynamic about mixing it up. Everything shown in this pic is from a thrift store... imagination!

Things I would like to have...


There are so many. But, for example this book. Sounds awesome.

Scarf Idea


This is one of those... "why didn't I think of that?" feelings. Seeing this sparks all kinds of imagination for possibilities for projects. Hmmm. I do have a gift card to Hancock fabrics. Someone may get a re-interpreted scarf like this from me for Christmas. Who knows?

Doesn't even matter what it is... post.

The I-don't-know-what-to-make-for-dinner-soup. Want the recipe? It's good. Here it is.

Big soup pot. Heat medium. Extra virgin olive oil to coat bottom. Dice up a medium onion. Toss in. Put some fresh mushrooms in. Mince up 2 cloves of garlic. Throw that in. Chop up a good handful of baby carrots put those in and stir. Follow with a can of rotel tomatoes, fill the can a lotsa times with water... put in a can of kidney beans. Slice up small pieces of some red bell pepper, palmful. Dice a small zucchini. Salt enough. Bring to boil, then throw in two handfuls of penne pasta. Serve when pasta is al dente. At the end I sprinkled some parmesan on top.
