Wintertime always puts me in the baking mood. Desserts are always better in cooler weather, too, so much of my baking has been the sweet variety. Even though that’s not been so good for my weight control, we’ve surely enjoyed taste testing new recipes. Here’s another simple recipe by Giada…the variety possibilities [...]

This evening I tried another recipe by Giada. I’ve wanted to put this one together for over a month and just managed to get all my ingredients together. I substituted fresh lettuce greens from our garden for the spinach, because I forgot to add it to my list this morning. If spinach makes any [...]

For Today…Monday, January 26, 2009
Outside My Window…The setting sun completed its descent, and a cloak of darkness covers as far as I can see.
I am thinking…this day has been busy and full. Simplicity has been absent…I’m thankful to be finally home and nearing a stopping point for the day.
From the learning room…I’ve begun teaching myself [...]

At the beginning of January I posted a list of ten or so things I’d like to do in 2009. Knitting is on that list and has been a skill I’ve long desired to learn. This week I finally pulled out my needles and a self-instruction book I bought a few years back. I played [...]
