A Purging I will go, a purging I will go...
I've just ordered this set from Kohl's for our bedroom:
and am coveting this for the end of the bed (which the Comedian really likes too):

Hot Weather Cooking
http://www.5dollardinners.com/2010/07/grilled-red-potatoes.html. They were sooo delish. Next time I will cook them no more than 20 minutes or they will fall apart. We have a charcoal grill so I put them over the hot part so they would get nice and crispy on the outside. I served them with sour cream and fresh chives from the garden. Wowsers, it's a do over for sure.

Whirl me up Scotty!
I'd been coveting one of these for a loooooong time but have been in frugalista mode and wasn't about to spend the money on one. It is hard to be mad at someone who #1 actually listened and got you something you actually wanted #2 got a fab price (and $30 Kohl's bucks to spend) and #3 he was sooooo proud of himself.It's been a good birthday other than the fact that now I'm older than dirt (again!). The Prodigal Son and the Cute Redhead got me a new fancy coffee travel mug (I can never find a clean one around here when I want one and now everyone KNOWS I'm the sole user of my nifty new mug), the Bride took me to lunch, the Queen Bee and The Papa and The Nana gave me $$$$ (I see a shopping trip in my near future) and #1 Son is coming for dinner tonight (hey, it's ok that I made dinner cause it was his birthday Monday and my stew is one of his favorite meals). Today was a paid holiday from work and I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off as vacation days. Yaaaay me!!!

Soup's On!

The thing I like about cold weather is soup. I could eat it EVERY night for dinner. I mean, come on, there are a bazillion different soup recipes! This is Alton Brown's lentil soup from the Food Network site. Tonight I made this lentil soup recipe (with a few alterations for personal preferences) and oh...my...goodness, was it ever good!!! Even The Comedian liked it. I could tell he was skeptical at first but after a couple of spoonfuls, he started scarfing it down. My changes were to use a combo of vegetable stock and chicken stock rather than water, add about 3/4 tsp. cumin and a little more salt. I also used the emmersion blender to get the texture and consistency I wanted. It is soooo healthy. It's a keeper for sure.

Cookbook Giveaway
I've been following Erin's blog "$5 Dinners" for quite sometime now. Although feeding five adults for $5 is certainly a challenge, I try to do what I can (Erin has two small children and her hubby). Anywho, she is giving away cookbooks to ten lucky people in the next two weeks. Enter here.Sunday, August 9, 2009

It's the Little Things
I have had these dishes for over 25 years and have loved them every step of the way. They set a fabulous table and you can use any kind of decorations in any color and they look even more fabulous. Since we have lived in the "kibbutz" these past four years, five of my plates have suffered fatal catastophes. But when I spied the five in the store today for...get this...75 cents each, I wanted to sing. But I just let my heart sing instead all the way to the cash register. I'm telling ya, it's the little things!!!Wednesday, July 22, 2009
