A Nor’easter brought the first snow of the season. How quickly things changed! Last weekend I was getting quite the workout (read: I was sweating) raking leaves in the garden with temperatures downright warm at 60 degrees. I’m glad I had the opportunity to clean up out there before the storm came. I expect my gardening chores to be lighter in the spring. And now that we're engulfed in snow, there's really nowhere to go and nothing to do ... except for holiday baking. So, let it snow ... I'm ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #358
It was 50 degrees, so I went foraging and came home with this. Okay, in actuality, I went to the backyard and did a little cleanup. I don't even know where I can go foraging, even though the thought is very appealing. I would love to forage, for instance, on some beachy location, where preferably some beach plums are growing, and there is no poison ivy anywhere near. But alas, the backyard is the only option available for me. I love going to the wild corner of the yard where some plants are ... continue reading...

As soon as December hits, I start thinking seriously about Christmas, ergo cookies. Also, Hanukkah. Ergo fried foods. Like sufganiyot. And latkes.

So many decisions! The good thing is, it's really fun deciding. What kind of cookies do I want today? What should I add to my latkes? Should I do ... continue reading...

To Christmas, we go! That's right, the sooner the better. For my family, anyway, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas season officially begins. That's when the husband starts putting up the lights outside and I start listening to all my favorite Christmas songs. *NSYNC "Home For Christmas" is still the best Christmas album in the world, period. I could go for those Hawaiian Christmas songs, too. Anything with the sound of a ukulele in the background is welcome. What about you? Do ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #355
It's one week away from Thanksgiving and I have yet to find the strategy on how to broach the subject of not roasting a whole turkey to the family. Mostly because I somehow know it's not going to end well. There was this one year, the only year, when we decided to reserve a table at a restaurant for Thanksgiving. When we got home, everybody was glum. There were no leftovers in sight. No leftover turkey, no leftover biscuits, no leftover gravy, no leftover corn pudding... nothing... nada... It ... continue reading...
