What I Got For Christmas III & The Super Bowl
As you know by now...maybe not...anyway, I love Polish Pottery. And with that in mind, my parents got me this beautiful platter for Christmas. It is gorgeous. And big...very very big. I didn't have a Polish Pottery platter that size and I was coveting one. But I wouldn't buy it for myself. It's just one of those things. As it so happens the pattern matches much of what I have already. I was thrilled! And it's big...really big. Big enough to hold this antipasta that I made for a party last week. So if you are going to a Super Bowl party today and ...
Back In My Day…
Since the blizzard dumped more than two feet of snow here in the Mid-Atlantic states and I haven't heard a snow plow yet, I will assume that the kids won't have school tomorrow. But if they do, I will make them walk to school uphill both ways in the snow. Because I can. Notice I don't have any photos of them shoveling the driveway. The snow really wasn't waist deep. They are on their knees pretending to trudge through it. It was the boy's idea. Go figure.
January 7, Black Birds Blue Birds
These birds fly around in huge flocks and they just fascinate me. All I see is a sea of black when they fly by. But I look closer at this photo and I see they have blue necks. The husband says they are starlings. I find find them so interesting that I followed them in the car in the snow so I can get a closer photo of them in the field. They are so neat aren't they?
The Great Blizzard of 2010 Olympics
I believe he's focused. He warms up and prepares to launch. Oh what form! What grace! It will be hard to top that. And now for the second jump. He focuses again. He takes his mark. He's in the zone. Oh amazing jump! Yes! I believe that's enough to win the gold! He inspires generations of balcony jumpers everywhere. What a role model he is...kids everywhere want to be just like him. He spends his off time mentoring young balcony jumpers like the girl. She actually lands three feet in front of him. Ouch. But look at how her form has improved! She looks so free! And now for the ...
La Fungus A La Scampi Gozaimasu
I understand that the title is a total bastardization of three great world languages. Here's another culinary question. What kind of mushrooms are these? Hint: They don't come from the ocean as their name implies. I made this dish with these little mushrooms. When we lived in Japan, we drove from our little Japanese town to the next big town over for pasta. We loved Japanese food but it was a nice change every once in a while. However, it was Japan and there was an unusual twist to the scampi. I don't know what really was in it, but below is my take ...
February 6, A Record Snow
This blizzard apparently is setting some kind of record and I believe it. We measured 26 1/2 inches in our backyard. And the snow falling is just starting to slow. This is an amazing storm... It's so beautiful. I haven't been out taking many photos though. Perhaps tomorrow, when the sun comes out.
February 3, A Beach In Winter
I went to the beach with the dog last Saturday after I dropped my little girl off at the farm. It was so windy and cold I only stayed for about ten minutes before I couldn't stand the wind anymore. One of these days I will go to the beach in the summer, like normal people do.
