Thirsty Girl

 Last Thursday,

I got to meet Thirsty Girl,

Leslie Sbrocco

in Dallas last week

@

the Milestone Culinary Arts Center

She is amazing !

Not only did I get her books,

I got the bracelet (check out my wrist)...

... I got the t-shirt

and...

...the hat

I signed up to start a Thirsty Girl chapter in Dallas

so...

if you are a Thirsty Girl in D/FW

and want to sign up

.. comment on this post!

Birthday Presents

These are presents from my friend, Misty.

I love late birthday celebrations!

Has anyone used one of these yet?

I've been coveting from afar but just couldn't bring myself to buy it

Now I have one.. YAY!

 Isn't this an awesome oven mitt?

Every wine chick needs one of these, for sure!

cuppa cakes are my favorite!

...and the absolute best...

the recipe for Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cakes

on a dish towel!



How amazingly practical is that?

Herb-icide

Here are my herbs a couple of weeks ago

so pretty ...

So not only have I been so busy

I've been neglecting my blog

but...

look at my poor tricolor sage, mint and thyme

Obviously, this is not the correct location for these particular herbs

(front of the house where I never go)

 The sage, chives and oregano are doing well on this side of the house

(Probably because I have to walk by them every day)

Check out the basil, dill and tarragon

so vibrantly green!

I'm not a total herb killer !

I promise

pay more attention to anything

I plant in the front of the house

and..

I promise to do better at blogging...

Life is too exciting for me to be quiet !

Microgreens

I planted these from seeds

They are blooming and so sweet

They are edible and taste a little peppery

Perfect for addition for a salad

I cannot wait to try them
