Dogs

Posting pics of our dogs ...just because they are so darn cute!

I especially love the pic of Martini bopping Stoli on the head!

Books!

I read! In case you were wondering if I do anything else besides cooking. I actually just started reading for pleasure in the past year. I'm also into the e-book thing.  While not having anything physical to show after spending all this money is sometimes something I think about, not having anything physical to put away or clutter the home is nice!

Here is a sample of what I've read and recommend:

J D Nixon: Heller series (4 books)
J D Nixon: Little Town series (2 books)
Caitlin Moran: How to be a woman
Jaycee Dugard: A stolen life
Todd Burpo: Heaven is for real
E L James: Fifty shades of grey trilogy
Lolly Winston: Good grief

Quite a mix, wouldn't you say?! I'm trying to figure out what genre I like. Most people can say they like "mysteries" or "autobiographies"...turns out I just may like a little bit of everything!

And just for the hell of it....pictures of our dogs!....That is Stoli standing and Martini catching bubbles.
And a picture of a beautiful blue sky. I don't want to jinx things and say the really humid, 90-100 degree weather is over here in PA, but I'll say we are all enjoying the cooler temps of the mid-80's lately!

Productive day in the kitchen!

Our dogs get us up pretty early on most weekends; usually between 6 & 7 AM, which is fine with me. It's still later than we get up during the week for work and it gives me plenty of time to do things around the house and still get out early to run errands.

This morning by 7:30 I had turkey meatballs in the oven baking, tomato sauce on the stove simmering and a dozen eggs in a hot tub hard boiling!

By 8 AM I had made a quick gucamole and maybe had it for breakfast. ;) 8:30 produced a beautiful egg salad for lunches for the week, using the best, freshest eggs I am very fortunate to get from

The base for my tomato sauce also came from them today! Thanks HCH!

Dinner was a basic favorite, spaghetti with meatballs. Simplicity at it's best right? :)

It was also a beautiful day here in Pennsylvania, the dogs enjoyed soaking in some Vitamin D, as did I.
