Some Weeks

I think I may have started out my blog this week with Some Mondays, well, it turned out that some weeks are kind of crazy.  I would not say that I was the nicest person this week.  I tended to be more crabby than caring, and more scary than sympathetic.  No excuse, just the way it was this week.  But today has made up for a lot of my misfortune from this past week.  We had one of those mornings were things turned out pretty well, redeeming some events that had turned out poorly the last time we tried them.  For instance, the last time we tried to go to the farmer's market in town, everyone went home in a huff.  And by everyone I mainly mean me.  But today it looked more like this


And we all ended up finding something that we really liked and were able to bring it home with us.  Including veggies, beef jerky, and jewelry. 
After we came home, Hannah and I went to the pool and had a great deal of fun.  It wasn't crowded yet, so we got to enjoy the water.  It was the first time that we've been since she had her ear infection.  I'm hoping that we don't go through that again any time soon. 
So far, it has been a wonderful day.  I think the only thing that might make it better is some of PW's Marlboro Man sandwiches for dinner!

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to
