I've done it!  I finally made the Thanksgiving menu.  In our home there are dishes we have year to year but, there are always new twists we add.  Here it is! Two Turkeys...one smoked with an apple, pecan and mushroom stuffing.  (There is no recipe for this yet.  Devon will "wing it" and come up with something delish!) The other turkey we will be going back to a Martha Stewart recipe we made over ten years ago that produced the most beautiful and delicious bird you have ever seen or eaten!  It has a pomegranate glaze!  The … [Read more...]

Velvet Pumpkin Thanksgiving Mantel Decoration

By on November 17, 2010 with

After gathering up my supplies the other day I was fully prepared to "mantel-scape".  This year I came across what I think is a "find".  These delicious velvet pumpkins by Plush Pumpkin. This is what I started with, my scaled down freshly dusted simple mantel. Then I added some love. The trompe l'oeil effect of the painting and the pumpkins is kind of fun. The newly decorated mantel ended up adding a cozy warmth to my living room, even from afar. Our contest to win a trio of Plush … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Mantel Decorations Gathered

By on November 11, 2010 with

Yes, it's true, I have always been a sucker for yummy textures and pretty scraps.  Burlap, fuzzy cords, and thick beautifully died yarn make my heart sing.  I'm not a seamstress.  I'm a gatherer.  I have fabric, yarn, bits and scraps waiting to be transformed. And, purple thistle.  Does this make you think about a Thanksgiving mantel?  Well, not right off the bat.  But, I think that decoration is most interesting when it's unusual. Here's a more traditional gathering of browns and oranges.  The Chinese Lanterns … [Read more...]

By on September 29, 2010 with

Good morning sistah!  You are waking up, too early....I'm guessing 4 a.m.   I know you are frantically throwing your last minute things in your bag to head to the airport.   I wanted to be the second, 'cause I'm sure Todd was the first, to wish you a Happy Birthday!!! Here's your gift... Originally I thought I'd bring it to Cancun to hand to you personally.  But, then I thought, some gift!  I don't want to make you lug it around!!  So, I'll ship it to you when I return!

LoveFeast for 16 Year Old Boys

By on September 9, 2010 with

My oldest son turned 16 this summer, on the 16th...which made it his Golden Birthday!  We call him Drama Boy because he has been acting for years.  I remember when he was 3 and would perform all of Godspell on his top bunk when "no one" was looking. We wanted to do something special, so we suggested a multi course dinner for him and his friends.  Drama Boy has been raised in a foodie home, so he quickly saw the value in this idea! Devon and I planned a surprise menu developed with Asian influence in mind (Drama Boy loves … [Read more...]

Signs Of A Great Summer

By on June 3, 2010 with

This summer shows excellent signs of bursting with potential if this past weekend was any indicator. Right off that bat I hit a yard sale and scored some cute porch decor and a set of dishes! There was time to work in my garden. There were eager helpers who wanted to start their chores before breakfast! Roxy met a fan who wanted to "contain" her!  Roxy can barely "contain" her enthusiasm for the situation. got hotchalk? got hot help? Suburbia Man stains the deck-fresh for the … [Read more...]

Summer Cocktails & Themes

By on May 12, 2010 with

Over the years, somewhere along the way, Kristin and I began "theme-ing" our summers with a signature cocktail.  Looking back...I'm pretty sure it started the summer we moved to Minnesota.  The cocktail and theme was suppose to lift our spirits, embody our mojo, and help us get through our busy schedules,  holding us up until we'd meet again.  It had to be refreshing.  It had to make us happy.  It had to be a cocktail we would look forward to sharing next time we clinked our glasses together, which we try to do, at least once … [Read more...]
