Maison Rustique

Beautiful!

It's that time of year. $50 gift cards are only $35!! Great time time buy gifts. 🙂

I'm anxious to hear where else you went when here. One of my favorite places to go both as a resident and when playing tour guide is the WWI Museum. If you missed it, you really missed out. Not sure of yoru kids ages, but most kids are fascinated. WWI Museum Glad you went to Waldo Thai. They are good friends. I hope you were able to enjoy one or two of Darrell Loo's cocktails. He is amazing and one of the dearest people I know. I can't wait to hear where else you went.

Another that we didn't see when it was new, but just finished Season 1 of Tin Star. Grim, but we are really enjoying it. Certainly not boring.

I loved Valley Girl, too. We saw Nicholas Cage at Musso & Frank shortly after it came out. We started season 2 of Lupin last night and it promises to be as good, if not better than season 1.

Check out the clay pot cooking group on Facebook. There are tons of ideas. Paula Wolfert's cookbooks are wonderful, too.

So, no beef in their recipes, but recipes with cow's milk, butter and cheese are OK? Hmmmmmm...

@Carolyn Tillieand @rancho_gordo have a clay pot cooking group on Facebook that you might enjoy.

I got addicted over the holidays. I kept passing up the usual holiday goodies for these. I could order them through Misfits (one of the subscription boxes), so was getting them regularly. I just gave up that subscription, so will have to wean myself off them. I'm on my last package. 😶

I guess I can't call my instant cream of rice cereal with sriracha on it congee any more. Dang! 🤣

Why is this all I can think of?

I didn't remember, so had to look. The Peanuts

It looks great compared to mine. For some reason, every insect known to man feasted on my basil this year. I tried every safe treatment and nothing would get rid of those mutant bugs.

I can so relate to this. I am so sick of trying to think of what to make, where and how to get the stuff to make it, then actually getting said ingredients and preparing it, that by the time it is done, I have no appetite. I have lost about 5 lbs. so far and still dropping. Despite having many horrible carb and sugar-laden foods because it was simply the easiest thing to eat.

I'm sure she was ready at that age, but still sad.
