8 December




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.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
