The Weekend is Here

TGIF! Looking forward to warmer days on my walking path in Rocky Point with the sun beating down and the refreshing ocean breezes! It’s only a dream right now because today it’s FREEZING in New England! But last night I was warmed by my vindaloo inspired chicken and white rice! I’m on Indian spice overload,…

No School Day

The beautiful sunshine and daylight savings time with it still being light out at 7pm yesterday sure gave me Spring fever! So nice after all the snow we’ve been having. But it looks like RAIN today (and you all know how much I love my rain) on this Coffee Cup Monday! A Monday of no…

Summer on my Mind

Although it’s “Pizza Friday” in our house tonight, sometimes it’s “Fish & Chip Friday” and other times it’s BOTH!

Snow…Snow…and more SNOW!

Coffee Brewer Monday, Good Morning All! I’m off to a late start this Monday morning and oh what a weekend in New England we just went through with the Blizzard of 2013 and we have a ton of snow outside! We were so afraid of losing power that I went into “Cook Mode Overload” on…
