Best Friends Forever Scouring the beach wing in wing. Picnic anyone?
Happy Friday!
The weather report says that we might get a little snow here early next week. As long as it doesn’t stay around for more then a couple of days, I don’t mind. So in that spirit, enjoy the winter white flowers and your weekend.
Tasty Tuesday … German Potato Pancakes with homemade Apple Sauce
Growing up, Fridays generally meant potato pancakes for lunch. My mom sure could make delicious “Kartoffelpuffer”, or “Pflinsen”,as they were known in our dialect. Hey, try to quickly say that five times in a row! 😉 By the time we’d get home from school, she had […]
Zunday Zen … Swirls and Curls and Curves and Swerves
A closed-eye journey back in time to remember the swirls and curls the curves and swerves the miles of tiles I once spied across a street. My brain was wildly summersaulting my eyes couldn’t believe the sight of this enchanting casa right smack in front of me while waking […]

Tasty Tuesday … Jeweled Stuffed Winter Squash

On my last trip to the grocery store, I came across Black Garlic. I’ve read about it before, but had never actually bought any. This time however, I decided to change that! Once at home, I did a little more research, and discovered that Black […]
Zunday Zen … Meditation on Main Street
A peaceful meditation seat with toadstools and pillowy moss. Steal this wink of time, I think … To miss it would be a great loss. .
Tasty Tuesday … My favorite Swiss Cheese Fondue
Cold winds are howling through the Columbia River Gorge. Darkness envelopes neighborhoods by the late afternoon. The fire in the fire place is crackling. Spiced cider or perhaps some Glühwein is simmering on the stove. Friends are arriving for an evening of conversation and dinner. […]
Zunday Zen … The Beauty of Autumn
Vibrant leaves crunching underfoot. Summer now all but a memory. This was one of my very favorite walks for the entire year! The breeze, the sun, the autumn leaves showing off their most dazzling array of color, the clear blue sky and the peaceful quiet […]
Happy Friday!
Have a great weekend! Hard to believe that it’s November already!
Tasty Tuesday … Miso Vegetable Ramen
In our house, we consider this time of year Soup Season! I always find it soothing to have a pot of soup simmering on the stove when the weather turns unpleasant outside. This October brought us the second wettest month in record-keeping history here in […]
