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?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
