Happy Minutiae
Finally, I can walk outside and cut a rose. This Spring the Del Rio heirloom rose bush had a growth spurt and we are able to enjoy the roses indoors and out.
April 10th brought us three new chickies, this is actually old news. I am hoping they are all female. If not I already have a list of forever homes for the roos.
April 18th my friend Bonnie and I will be watching our collaborative efforts hit the catwalk at the annual GRAPHIC Art Bra Fashion Show and Auction. We entered: Under Re-Construction. I take a lot of photos and how I missed photographing the art bra before it left my house, I don't know. Hope to get photos at the show.
My Grandmother finally gave me her recipe for empanadas. Actually, she sort of gave me her recipe. Basically she gave me a list of ingredients without measures and told me to make the dough so that it is not sticky and make the pumpkin filling so that it is sweet with a hint of cinnamon. I lucked out the first time, taste just like hers.
Her theory is that giving away a recipe to be followed isn't the way to get our favorite dishes and desserts to taste like hers. Making them the way she does is the key. So basically I watch and listen and remember the taste and consistency of things to arrive at the finished product. That is how she was taught.
I've been so busy enjoying Spring I have sort of let my website go. I'll be returning to it real soon with some new items and a new look.
Interests Du Jour:
1.Strangers When We Meet: Awesome film! Lots to look at, great actors and a storyline ahead of it's time. I must see it again. It's going on my Movies to Create By list.
2.Miniature Goats
3.Trumpet Flower Vines
4.Sewing
5.Free time
6.Empanadas
7.Deserts
8.Bromeliads
If RTN would improve their line-up life would be perfect. It seemed really cool at first but it's pretty bland now. It's all DVD for retro shows at our house. I heard that Unreliable Sources (with that ignorant goober) was gone, but he is still listed on their website. Who is that guy? More Night Gallery, less moron.
No Tea Party for me.
