Friday Stuff

Today begins the holiday weekend.  We really do not have a lot of plans other than my son is coming over today.  Both my boys love PW's Brisket so off to the market yesterday and I purchased a 13 pound brisket.  The marinade began yesterday and right now, I am smelling the delicious aroma of tonight’s dinner emitting from my kitchen.  Mmmm…delicious!  If you have never ventured into the world of brisket (and I had not until reading this recipe last year) you must try it.  It is literally easy easy.

Both hubby and I have summer colds, I know, Gah!  It’s probably sinus related because come on, it’s Georgia and we have more allergens floating around than “Carter has liver pills”.  That little saying was a familiar one that rolled off of my grandmother’s tongue so many times.  Ahh…Gram…I miss you dearly.

My sister and her family sent my husband The Best Pizza Ever from Giordano’s in Chicago.  My hubby celebrates his birthday tomorrow and what better way to do so with some home town food.  Now I know, there is this huge debate over NY style pizza vs.. Chicago Thick crust pizza.  Let’s face it, the twain shall never meet.  Will never come to terms with what is real pizza and I almost forgot the all time favorite “the corner tavern pizza” which can be ordered anywhere in Chicago.  The South just does not have good pizza.  Hands down.  Forget it.  What they offer here is NOT pizza.

So this holiday is getting off on the right foot…well, the food foot!  Guess I’ll have to do some walkin’ this weekend!!

Lassie Lockwood out for today!!!

Being a pizza addict and you know I love NY thin crust pizza...I have to say that both Chicago and NY are equally delicious....I have only had the deep dish once in Chicago but it was fabulous...I just don't think I could eat as much of it as that paper thin crust....and i agree the South should stop trying to make pizza all together.....

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
