Sigh...

No Comment...

P.S.

While at the A2 Market we visited the Spice store upstairs in the market building. It was so interesting. I bought some Allspice, Cardamom, BBQ Rub and even some Ginger Twist Green Tea. Don't know yet what I'll do with the Allspice and Cardamom but yesterday we went to Borders and I got a really cool herb and spice book. I had a 25% off coupon for my birthday. I think I'm on a health kick. This morning I made pecan waffles. By the way the tea makes a very yummy iced tea. Today we planted the mint and basil. The lady that we bought the mint from gave us a good tip on how to plant it so it won't spread. Put it in a buried coffee can. So that is what we did.
Tonight we are having some baby back ribs and trying out the rub. I got some of those cute little mini yellow & green squash too.

What Do Golf, Herbs, & Elizabeth's Breakfast Stew Have In Common?

They are all things I have enjoyed previously at one time or another and have partaken of this weekend. Yesterday we decided to dust off the ole golf clubs and headed over to the local 9 hole par 3 course. It was fun and just 5 bucks. The herbs and the breakfast stew kind of go hand in hand. Sarah had a job in Ann Arbor so we decided to head over to the Farmer's Market. We ate of course at "The Broken Egg" and I had my old favorite breakfast, Elizabeth's Breakfast Stew. Many years ago it was named, The Kitchen Sink. It's still the same stuff, hashbrowns, sliced potatoes, ham, bacon, peppers, onions and eggs! Yummy, especially with a spalsh of Clancey's hot sauce. The herbs, well I used to plant and use alot of herbs. I have kind of gotten away from that. I decided today to buy a big bunch of basil and make some pesto tonight. So, that got me to buying a couple of herbs. Of course the basil and also some mint for my iced tea and mojitos!

1958 Babe or Vett - Which Looks Better?

Never mind, don't answer that! We saw this beauty (which one you ask?) at the classic car show in Lexington over the weekend. Had a great weekend at a beautiful B & B right on Lake Huron. Took an unexpected trip to Canada for 20 minutes. That was potentially frightening. Took a wrong turn, couldn't get off bridge and had to go over. Had no $$ to get back so we had to get "denied" access to Canada so we could get back to U.S. for free. The nice Canadian woman did that because it was my birthday. Talk about a "senior moment" ha ha. Sunday we had a small celebration at Mike & Chris's. The Renee's plus the Codes attended. I actually went swimming in their pool. We had spaghetti & meatballs, salad, breadsticks and of course cherry cobbler. Just like Mom would have made, only not quite as good.....

Happy Birthday To Me

We are leaving for Port Huron this afternoon. Gonna hang around and do whatever. W e love to hang out on the river side of P.H. and watch the huge freightors steam up and down the river. Staying at a B & B tonight that is north of Port Huron in North Lakeport. It is supposed to be right on the lake. I'll check back in on Sunday.

Coming Soon to Flint

Sarah saw the sign on her way to work this morning. I am so excited. I wish they would hurry up. I'm waiting for my "Cherry Limeade." The location will be right on my way to work... Miller Road at the I-75 overpass. Well that's if my office is still in the same location. Which is questionable... But I could make it on the way to anywhere, couldn't I?

Suprise Family Birthday Party

So this is the awesome cake that my sister Marlene brought for the BIG occasion! It was absolutely delicioso!! Those planks that you can see were white or dark chocolate all around the cake. We brought the leftovers home, but it's already gone. Laura my sister-in-law had a Mexican food theme complete with gazpacho, chips, salsa & guacamole, a bean dip and then taco lasagna and corn cake. Everything was very yummy. I got a lot of humorous cards and some Gerber daises, perfume and a "SISTERS" scrapbook from Marlene. Oh yeah and Riley picked out the little birdie that you can see by the flower pot.
