This past week I had 2 recipes lined up ready to cook and photograph and then in the middle of the night Tuesday, I woke up with that feeling that says “here comes a migraine”. Meds didn’t help this one and I’ve spent the last 2 days recovering from a migraine triggered by a deep…
The Friday Roundup is my weekly list of things that don’t rate a standalone post but that I found interesting. It’s been cold at night and so we’ve been keeping a fire going in the fireplace which may be my favorite part of winter. Work has picked up significantly this week so that’s been keeping…
I’m reconsidering the “Friday Five” theme since it seems limiting to me. Some weeks I might have more than 5 things to share, and some weeks fewer, so I’m inclined to change it to some kind of Friday week in review going forward. In the meanwhile, here’s this weeks offering: Aldi has fiddle leaf figs…
. I’m late with the post today: My excuse is that today is my birthday and it felt like a weekend day, but also, I just plain forgot. So here we go. ONE In a little blog cleanup: I’ve moved the Monday Meal Plan posts off of the main blog feed page. I felt like…
. ONE If you haven’t heard by now, you can go online and order free Covid tests to be delivered to your home. Right now every household is eligible for a 4-pack of tests. You can order them here: https://special.usps.com/testkits . TWO Zach and I are trying to incorporate more vegetarian eating into our planning…
We’ve made it through two full weeks of 2022 and so far, so good! Here are my five things for this week. ONE I bought a juicer! I realized after finishing my week of juicing last Friday that I do feel much better if I make veggie juices part of my routine. After doing some…
Let’s just jump right into the first Friday Five of 2022. These are the things that have been on my mind this week. ONE Today is the last day of my 3rd annual post-holiday juice fast. This year I did the “expert” level program – the one with more green juices and fewer protein or…
It’s been a whole lot of Fridays since the last Friday Five and I’m sorry for that. I’m just going to cut right to the chase: On July 4th weekend, while we were painting the garden shed, Zach had a heart attack; a STEMI – the one the doctors call “the widowmaker”. We were incredibly…
Today is my last day of work before vacation and I’m definitely having a little “vacation brain” kicking in early. I have a couple of things I need to finish and document for my co-workers who are covering for me next week and then I can relax. One A quick note about Memorial Day: Over…
It’s been typical late spring weather here in the Atlanta area, which is to say that it’s been unpredictable and all over the place. Highs in the 80s, lows in the 40s, some rain, some sun, and everything in between. However the garden at the house seems to be loving it, so I won’t complain…
New feature starting today. Five random things from the week every Friday. ONE This week I got my first subscription delivery of flowers from Bouqs.com. I decided to try out their small bouquet farmhouse subscription. I’m pretty happy with the bouquet I received, but realized I don’t actually own any nice vases for displaying flowers….
Most Fridays I write up the week. What I read, watched, cooked, and grew, plus whatever’s on my mind. The week in roundup form, Bluesky-and-coffee.
