where i stood

on the edge of temptation




silver


tiny present



in the cupboard

I just realized how much that cream of mushroom soup stands out like a sore thumb.

I don't even eat it. I had to buy it to make that nasty green bean casserole to bring to

my mother's on Thanksgiving. It will sit there till next Thanksgiving.

    Oh, I so love the Deep Peace blessing here! One of my faves. I smiled through your poem about the cream of mushroom sticking out like a sore thumb in your wonderful pantry of whole grains. The doughnut is tempting, though!

    I love your tiny silver doo dad, and the only thing better than checking out other people's medicine cabinets is their pantrys. I'm intrigued by your Irish oatmeal.

    I haven't cared for cream of mushroom soup since Boy Scouts when some of my fellow scouts staged a skit and in the middle of it they interruped with one guy faking vomit. They used cream of mushroom soup and the other two guys pulled out spoons and started eating the soup. That caused the audience to start gagging.

    I don't know, that might be TMI, but there it is.

    Great post!

    I love your cupboard. I'll have to look for Irish Oatmeal. The tiny picture shot is really nice. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but the smell of the fresh donuts in the convenience stores is hard to resist, then my husband says, "Do you want one, too?" and I'm a goner!

    I've seen this temptation before and it is still tempting. Your photo effects are truly lovely. You keep a very tidy provision cupboard :-)-give the can of soup to the Christmas funder why not, I've packed up a few things I bought for recipes I'll never do again with the expiration dates being 2015 someone else can either love or hate them.

    Right NOW, that doughnut looks irresistible!! The other day I wanted some biscuits and gravy and found a recipe using cream of mushroom soup. Darn! it turned out to be very good!

    Your mushroom soup cracked me up. The things we do for love! (Or obligation?) I see you have Lawry's, though -- that's one of my favorite seasonings. I'm visiting from Scavenger Hunt Sunday. By the way...did you hold out against that temptation? I don't think I could have.

    As a student I would use cream of mushroom to make a chicken supreme, add some peas and rice and it was not so bad. I might even try that tonight for old times sake.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
