Today is one of those Fridays when I don’t have anything particularly exciting to share with you. Nothing dramatic has happened, everything is okay and life feels pretty much hunky-dory. In other words, it’s a bit boring and mundane. However, I did get poison ivy. Is it called an infection or poisoning? It doesn't matter but I ended up with the rash without any idea of how it happened. I can’t even think of what I might have touched in the garden that could have come into contact with it. So, ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #558
I know most of you here are food enthusiasts, probably 99.9% of you. I can count the gardeners among us on the fingers of one hand, one of them being yours truly. That's why I rarely bring you gardening updates, but this time I just have to share this exciting news! Do you see the two green eggs growing on the tropical-looking vines up there? Those green eggs are passion fruits! My all-time favorite fruits for mixing into cocktails. I still can't believe I've managed to grow them in my ... continue reading...

One of them was looking lush and tropical. It was the curry leaf plant. I decided it ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #556
It’s candy apple-making time! Isn't fall the most glorious of all seasons? Of course, I would say the same thing when spring comes around but as of now, I’m enjoying the cooler weather and the leaves slowly changing colors. Aaand… best of all, apples are at their freshest right now. That means no mushy or soft apples! They're the worst! My favorite apple variety used to be Fuji, then Honeycrisp, then Cosmic Crisp. But currently, I’m Jazz-obsessed! Jazz apples are the crispiest and the most ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #555
It's Fiesta Friday #555, you guys! I don't know what the significance of the number 555 is, but it sounds pretty cool so I decided to celebrate by splurging on the pink pineapple known as PinkGlow™. Actually, I lied. I didn't buy the pink pineapple to specifically celebrate Fiesta Friday #555. I just got it because I was curious. I was really hoping that you could taste the "pink" in it. You know, like maybe it would taste like pink cotton candy, which some reviewers claim. Or maybe it would ... continue reading...
