Things to come
I have enjoyed sharing, the foods that I, love with all of you. I hope that you have found something that will make you head straight to the kitchen, grab an apron and go to work. Grabbing an item from “the Dough Bowl” to whip up a recipe, has been enjoyable. Preparing fresh food and using whole foods requires more effort than opening a box. The results and rewards are so worth it.

The grocery store was packed with all sorts of cooking opportunities. I have settled on a few for my next posts.

Paddle now and dine later
My friends in Laguna Beach introduced me to the idea of Stand up paddleboarding or SUP. Surfing is a part of the community in Laguna. Patrick is a long time surfer and talented musician. “You can do it.” he said. I added it to my list of things to do while visiting he and Sharon in 2014. I never made it to the water. The time slipped away.
“Hello! Is there anyone in there? Just nod if you can hear me.”
Is there anyone at home? If you’re a Pink Floyd fan, you may recognize the lyrics. The lyrics somehow seemed right for my first, “Shout out”. The dining with Mimi is my attempt to introduce you to my journey of food.
I was lucky enough to attend Rattle That Lock Tour by David Gilmour. I knew the concert would be great. David and his crew delivered an awesome performance. The concert offered the perfect amount of old and new music. The Rattle That Lock album is an excellent choice for your album collection. Continue reading ““Hello! Is there anyone in there?
