A castle room renovation included an up-cycled door insert as a mercury glass mirror.
Don’t buy that stuff ! You can make you own at home and it’s super easy.
When your cousin marries a fabulous guy, you make her anything she needs for the Big Day! That includes 100 jars of tasty, low sugar blueberry jam with berries straight from the farm.
Get out there, it’s lovely out. (well, it was today)
Check the Local Haunts for some places to visit. Why did the chicken cross the road? Beacuse it’s a railroad CROSSING! And besides, it’s Ybor City…urban poultry.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in my favorite space, creating and changing recipes to fit a more healthy – and completely doable – lifestyle.
“to dance artlessly, without particular grace or skill but usually with enjoyment” – That pretty much sums up what goes on in my head most of the time. Here’s a collection of miscellaneous fun favorites.
Get out there! Check out my adventures near and far.
Live in Hernando County, secret meetings, nepotistic safety nets, social engineering, wasteful bussing scenarios, and the bonus is crushed community spirits and diminished housing values! Oh, no…read on. I’ve waited until I had much more credible information to be making this post. I’ve spent hours on the phone and now, I’m thinking that the blog […] Read more…
Since we’re on the subject of restaurants, one that used to be one of my favorites is Panera Bread. I say ‘used to be’ because recently our local one has made my ‘no-go’ list. Overnight, it’s dirty, poorly staffed, expensive, and I even hate the new mix of music they play. Oh, and remember hanging […] Read more…
Whaaaaat?! Oh, yeah baby ! The lovely lady over at ‘OhHowSheGlows’ posted a little ditty on using coconut milk as a non-dairy and gluten free whipped topping. So good I had to try it ! I mean, it should really work. You know I can’t leave anything alone – let’s take it up a notch. […] Read more…
Who wants cake for breakfast?! ME !!! Remember the old Cosby routine where he justifies feeding his kids chocolate cake for breakfast because it contains everything you’d have for breakfast anyway… maybe assembled a bit differently. “Dad is great,…gives us chocolate cake…” I don’t care who you are, that’s some funny stuff right there. This […] Read more…
I know, it’s still snowing in most of the country today – sorry, not sorry. Here, it’s strawberry season! This past weekend, after I dropped my son off at his favorite air-soft field, Area 41, I drove past JGRanch and they were open for berry picking. (17200 Wiscon Road) Oh, you know I had to […] Read more…
No long winded post here – just one of my Mom’s violets. Have I told you that she’s got a ‘thumb’ for violets! (I don’t know if it’d be a green thumb,…or a violet one. LOL) She can take one of those $3.00 tiny plants from the store and transform it into a blooming powerhouse […] Read more…
Seriously, I use this in everything that even resembles something Italian ! And since I’m busy finishing up DIY stuff to post, I’ll give you this quickie. I’m sure you can buy this somewhere, but why. You’ve probably already got most of the ingredients in your spice rack anyway. Get yourself a sweet little spice […] Read more…
Back in October, I went with my Aunt and her friend Connie to Renningers Antique Extravaganza. I’d picked up one of those old sign letters that have become popular these days. It cost me a whopping $25. I loved it because this one was from a real sign and not one of the reproduction Chinese […] Read more…
‘You are what you eat.’ – Um, no thank you. I’ve got like 4 posts half done! Until then, here’s what I spotted while shopping today. No, I thought I was seeing things too. TTFN ! Read more…
I know you don’t understand my need for going to these silly festivals of oldness – and I don’t care. LOL Since they only come around a couple of times per year, and I need the exercise, I go. Yet again we had lots of fun. Everyone was there… Everyone loves Mr Penut ! But […] Read more…
