…..or Life is a Journey. I am traveling and am posting on the fly so I consider this post “filler”. Here are some pics from a small travel themed wedding shower which I helped plan a few weeks back. Can’t claim to be original – I have to thank Pinterest for the inspiration.   There were […]

An Easter Assortment

Written by Judy on 04/05/2015 — 2 Comments

….of bunnies and sweets and all things eggy. I am so far behind in my posts that I haven’t even written about last Easter yet. Last April we were on the road and arrived at some friends’ house in Waltham, Massachusetts just in time for Easter dinner. As we pulled up in front I spied […]

The Florida Pages #1

…or A Passion for Pineapple. I seem to have developed a preoccupation with all things pineapple. It all started back in December when we were camping at Jekyll Island and I admired the pineapple Christmas decoration by the RV behind us. I went from there to having a pineapple for a Christmas tree. When we […]

Everything’s Better with Beer

Written by Judy on 02/11/2014 — 2 Comments

We just received a parcel of goodies in which there was a curious item called Beer Bread in a bottle. Thank you so much Marie; we got a lot of mileage out of it as you can see: Instructions were simple; add beer and bake. So I did. But first I tasted the beer to make […]

Today’s Costume: Cook

Written by Judy on 12/22/2013 — Leave a Comment

It was a busy day in the kitchen, making up for lost time. I did the first of the Christmas baking and got a start on our smorgasbord food for Christmas day. I now got balls, lots of them. By evening I was so sick of rolling things into balls I could have screamed. As […]

Crab-apple Jelly

Written by Judy on 11/04/2013 — Leave a Comment

If you have ever made jelly of any kind you will know that it is a labour of love. Fruit picking, preparation, jar preparation, straining, cooking, filling the jars, the massive clean-up of all things sticky.

Giving Thanks

Written by Judy on 10/15/2013 — 2 Comments

We’re still completely off turkey. See blog entry Beach Ball from Hell for details. Other than not having roast turkey, our first Thanksgiving in our riverside home went very well – the sun shone, the leaves crackled under foot, the power didn’t go out and no wild dogs broke in to wreak havoc. It was just the […]

Preserves

Written by Judy on 09/16/2013 — 5 Comments

 I come by my canning obsession honestly. When I think back to my childhood I have mostly vague recollections of the things which made my mother happy: a whole fresh halibut, seeing us cleaned and polished and lined up in our Sunday best on the way out the door to church, any one of us (excepting […]

I Loves Lobster

Written by Judy on 08/13/2013 — 1 Comment

I loves lobsters but I doubt if lobsters could ever love me back because my idea of a good time with a lobster involves plunging it head first into a pot of scalding hot water. Love can be cruel. I love how long it takes to eat a lobster; squeezing every little shred of meat […]
