New Recipes and Another Blogger Meet :-)
I cannot stop thinking about Steamy Kitchen’s Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Pepitas and Homesick Texan’s Corny Dogs. I think I’ll make the corn dogs for my husband on Friday for our Halloween date since Roxi has a school dance/sleepover. She doesn’t like hot dogs, and to be honest, I’m not crazy about them either, but I’ll [...]
Notting Hill, London
I met Bee in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood yesterday. What fun for me especially, since I haven’t been to this part of town since I was a teenager. I took to the tube to the closest tube stop, Ladbroke Grove. I loved this little bit of tromp l’oeil in the upper left corner of this [...]
Another food post–guess I wasn’t done yet
I made these delicate sugar cookies for the International Festival at Roxi’s school on Friday. I’m on my way to meet Bee for a little foodie jaunt in London. I will share more tomorrow :-) Here’s a little something in the meantime: Yesterday, Matt Armendariz of the blog Matt Bites posted “Anything in a Tortilla“–too funny [...]
Foodie wrap up
A quick post today. The Asado was brilliant! I made it Saturday night with the intention of eating it on Sunday, but Roxi came home from her sleepover, took a whiff and said she must have a taste! It’s feisty by itself, but on Sunday I made Homesick Texan’s flour tortillas (SO good) and a pan [...]
For "all y’all" Expat Texans in the UK ;-)
This morning while scanning my Bloglines list, I saw that Homesick Texan had a new post up. I try to be careful about when I read her posts because, dang, her recipes make me hungry and sometimes her writing makes me homesick. So this morning, coffee cup in hand, I gingerly click on the link [...]
Rose Hips
I have these beautiful rose hips on a bush that produces… …these beautiful pink roses (still blooming in October!!). And yes, that is what our sky looks like today. After reading Bee’s post on her beautiful garden yesterday, I asked her if she knew what to do with rose hips. She said they are full of [...]
Happy October
Last weekend in Cookham, England. The leaves are only beginning to fall. “And how does dear, dear Norland look?” cried Marianne “Dear, dear Norland,” said Elinor, “probably looks much as it always does at this time of year. The woods and walks thickly covered with dead leaves.” “Oh!” cried Marianne, “with what transporting sensations have I [...]
A little homesick
The birds like to rest on telephone wires back home in Texas. January 2008. I’ve got a little of the homesick blues today. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon enough, but last night I realized that this is the longest I’ve been away from home–almost nine months. Anyway, this should help: some friends and [...]
Bad Computer Karma and Catching Up
Another beautiful sunrise in England this morning. It’s getting cooler–lows in the mid-40s and highs in the mid-60s. We’re supposed to have four beautiful days in a row! That means sunshine :-). .1. Our print server/music studio/backup computer is dead. I don’t know if we wore it out with our 72-hour Hurricane Ike vigil, but [...]
Birthday lunch for my friend S
This is an odd menu, I know. But they are all foods that S said she’s missed the most since moving from America eight or so years ago: 1. Homemade pico de gallo and guacamole with tortilla chips. 2. Smoked Salmon Bisque from Simply Recipes. I wanted to make New England Clam Chowder since it’s [...]
