We shall drink; a Megmosa-Poinsettia, that is. Composed of equal parts champagne and grapefruit juice is a Megmosa... but half cranberry juice to half champagne is called a Poinsettia cocktail. Since I'm including grapefruit juice as well as muddled cranberries, this is a Megmosa-Poinsettia for brunch on Thanksgiving. Always use fresh fruit, not fruit juices from the … [Read more...]

Christmas in July. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND school supplies in the same rows in stores when semester begins... ugh. Why can't we make it the best time of the … [Read more...]

We're the same in many ways, but we're very different in many other ways that are extremely important in order to reside and function healthily and well in society. We each have our own set of fingerprints in our DNA--and on the … [Read more...]
Rose-Colored Glasses (29)
Do you remember these? I believe these are from 1984--Avon Cape Cod, ruby red, salt & pepper shaker set/perfume bottles. They sort of have a 'Rose-Colored Glasses' look to them. I got these at a second-hand store over summer, not because I occasionally collect salt & pepper shakers, but because I specifically thought they'd be outstanding in a Victorian window. And … [Read more...]
Roasted Chicken & Vegetables with Dekuyper Cactus
Make this for Fall, a good chicken roast... this season before Thanksgiving. Inside lies a hint of a fiery flavor, though mild, laced with Dekuyper Cactus Juice Schnapps Liqueur. This gives the dish a slight Tex-Mex twist. Prepare your choice of vegetables, first. My selection for this meal: roughly chopped assortment of peppers and celery, peeled russet … [Read more...]

2016 Year in Review
How was your 2016 year in review? Did you live in the moment? Where was the silver lining? Did you view the world in black or white or in shades of gray? Did you find beauty in even the dormant months of winter? Did you throw snowballs? Who deserved it?! Did you break yolks, break promises? Did you start an online business, do a special craft, or … [Read more...]
