Poppy Seed Bread
Yesterday was the day to bake something sweet (ya think!). I was needing a bit of the tender side of life and this ditty I found on Tastespotting.com from Christy at “the girl who ate everything” blog, truly fit the…

Tony and V8…..Reincarnated.
My dear friend Tony was moving back east and I headed over to his place to send him off and say my farewells. Tony is a misplaced Massachusetts man who decided he had had enough of the left coast. Well,…

Memorable Beets!
While the holiday weekend was approaching, easy breezy meals were in order. Also, the summer like weather which I was just getting used to seemed to get back under the covers. I wanted to warm up my home slightly, so…

Librarian Soup….aka Carrot soup!
It’s been awhile since I have made carrot soup but I found this recipe which looked incredibly easy and simply had to go for it. I absolutely love carrot juice (in moderation mind you) and have a juicer that producers…

Caprese Days are here
One of the best things about summer is the Caprese Salad. Though of course it can be made year round and will always be delicious; fresh heirloom tomatoes right out of the summer sun make this beyond simply wonderful. Hmm,…

Geranium Essence for May
The merry month of May has been filled with three seasons: Spring, Summer and Autumn. It is quite exhilarating to say the least. Today especially. Weekend was a cooker, while today the rainstorm is so refreshing it feels like October……what’s…

Eggplant Lasagna
This meal is one of my favorites. I’m an eggplant lover that goes way back, but trying to perfect this dish for some reason didn’t come easy for me. Good thing I didn’t give up on it/me. Eggplant is such…

Bald Eagle Morning
This morning while taking the dogs on their morning jaunt, a friend spotted this awesome bald eagle who came to hunt in our dog park. It was so regal and content to just quietly stare at the many who gathered…

Another Green Bag
I had wanted to finish this bag with the grocery bag in my blog a few weeks ago, but was only able to get around to it now. It was a much easier bag and I love that the straps…

Vegetarian Lasagna
My dear friend James came by for dinner the other night so I made him something out of the ordinary….at least for us. James and I are particularly fond of outdoor grilling, but since the season isn’t quite here yet…

Pizza Pizza
Once upon a time when I lived in Sausalito, every Friday night I would invite the gang over for some home made pizza. I had this pizza book that I got from ….somewhere, and you know my love affair with…

Britex Fabrics in San Francisco
There is no other store for fabric then San Francisco’s own Britex. Honestly, if you are a fabric hound you owe yourself to visit this store at least once in your lifetime. I was downtown last week and decided to…

Clary Sage Oil for April
Clary Sage is a perfect introduction to spring. While officially Spring is a March event, it’s still cold here with brief moments of May. The tulips here make one think they are in Holland. I keep looking for a…
