  • Andy & I celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary simply

    We didn’t go out to a fine French restaurant or the Compass Room with its 360º view of the Valley. No. This year we just got Pizza Hut stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and chicken wings. We watched Bounty Hunter which, little did we know, ended with the phrase “Happy anniversary, darling.” And we took a walk around the neighborhood. A nice simple afternoon / evening together.

  • Adventures in Grocery Shopping

    Halva floss, yogurt soda, and sesame bread sticks from Aziz Market. We’re pretty adventurous eaters at the Smithers–Greene.

    Review? The halva floss tasted good, but I thought halva necessarily meant made with tahini (sesame butter) as many “halvas” are. Now I guess it just means candy. The yogurt soda was unique– pungent, goaty, and tart. Very strong flavor that would probably go best with Greek or Middle Eastern food. The sesame sticks are, well, less sweet than your typical breadsticks. They are heavily coated with sesame seeds which gives them a slightly bitter taste. Good though.

    Pretty view through the blinds looking out at our patio and backyard. I’ve been holding onto this photo for a while but just wanted to share it because I think it’s so pretty. It also makes me feel grateful to have a home with a patio and backyard, to live in a beautiful city, and to live with a handsome husband and our two playful, loving, funny dogs. It’s the little things.

  • Andy’s Red, White, and Blue Parfait

    How could I be with this guy for seven years and not have had “his” red white & blue parfait? Last time he said “I think I’ll make ‘my’ such-and-such” was about something else he made in this 13×9 Pyrex dish– “My breakfast casserole” —after we had been together for six years! You got any other tricks up your sleeve, honey? 😉

  • Happy Fourth of July

    To all my friends and family I hope that July 4th brings you pride and a sense of country. Even with my limited abilities i went out and put up Flag & bunting to show our pride today!
