welcome to this week's list of likes... starting with blooming trees. It's much warmer two months early here in Colorado... our new normal? I like cold weather... but I also like the look of white blossoms on trees.
not the pollen.
love this rendition (group) playing flower dance play it here or link follows
on audio books
the library took back the italian lessons... and since there is only one book for the whole area I have to wait 6-8 weeks for the next lesson. "Cavolo!!!"
next and last in the current series by ellery adams
Sauces home made
I made zucchini bites again this week, and make a sauce for them with a big spoon of yogurt, a big spoon of sour cream, onion and garlic powder, and chives... so good!
I also made more sweet and sour sauce...
gooey, sweet tart, orange juice base, and these ingredients ( I sub arrowroot for cornstarch, and aminos for soy sauce)I keep jam jars for times like this... then the sauce is obvious on the fridge.
We like it for chicken strips, on veggies over rice, and oh lots of uses.
It's been too hot to bake much and the cooler weather they promised has been delayed so far for three days...
watching on tv
just finished The Traitors UK season one... fun. The only drama left on commercial tv is The good doctor. Otherwise we watch BBC, Canadian or Aussie shows.
Any survivor or amazing race fans here? I LOVE them both, don't have a fave contestant yet. On deal or no deal island, I like Rob. On American Idol I really like so many of those talented kids.
sewing and painting
I enjoy both, and both take me away from reality for a while which is a good thing... I usually do those posts on Saturdays...
I like my snoopervisorhe finds lying between me and the design wall gets him more attention. AND he's close to the other bedroom window to keep a close eye on the neighbors who won't stay in their houses!
what is mama doing in here so long? |
Prompt this week "crunchy or chewy"
my answer... chewy and crispy like Twix or wafer cookies are good
I like chewy... before so much dental work, I loved caramels. I like pie over cake because, chewy. I actively dislike crunchy, it feels too jarring in my head.
I do like crispy... THIN potato chips that break easily, crispy crust, chewy cookies. Mac and cheese. Sticky buns.
Gooey is best for me... yep, pasta coated in sauce, sauce on everything!
Milo's Moment
wow it's bright and hot out here! |
Hiya I like crunchy. I'm young, I'm a dog, I have big teeth to crunch through anything, for instance this week Daddy totally burned the veggie burgers, and mama couldn't cut them with a knife, so I stepped up. Took one for the team. I agreed to eat them, out of the goodness of my heart.
Milo likes crunchy, even challenging, food! |
Mama has been giving me a chunk every morning and I love it! Taste like beans, beets, sweet potatoes.
They are un-beet-able!
(like falafel says daddy)
Mama oohed over this trunk this week... |
Milo: I just see a new place to leave pee mail
