Let's have a cup of tea
Comments (13)The kettle is on, I'm busy wrapping gifts so they're ready to go, mail, by bus, some will be picked up and some delivered. I just have one more gift to buy and then Whewwwww I'm done. I'm looking forward to a mug of orange pekoe and a couple of Berry Green Tea Biscuits, I really liked the Blueberry and Brown Sugar biscuits hope these are as good. It'll soon be time to put the tree up and do some christmas baking, unfortunately I have to do the baking last minute or there's nothing left when christmas rolls around. Found a good recipe for a smoked salmon mousse, with a dab of hot pepper jelly and a crisp cracker, soooooo yummy. SMOKED SALMON MOUSSE 1 lb. soft cream cheese (500 gr.) 1 156g can of smoked salmon (we use St. Jean's, it's also their recipe) 1/4 tsp. lemon juice 1/8 tsp. Dijon mustard Pepper 2 tbsp. chopped green onions 2 tbsp. chopped parsley Blend all ingredients in a food processor. Put into an attractive dish and decorate with thin lemon wedges and parsley, serve with crackers. If you prefer a more subtle flavor, reduce the amount of salmon.

Comments (5)Country bumpkin, I'm sorry for the pain you're going through now. Sending good thoughts to you. Monday DD and I both went to the doc after days of horrible coughing and cold stuff. DD had "just" a cold (a bad one) but I had a sinus infection and got drugged up for it. The prescription decongestant was $60 and written for 20 days supply! I told the pharmacist if I take it for 20 days I'm gonna need an intervention! She gave me 5 days for $15. We also dropped of my van Monday b/c the air would not blow, hot or cold, no fan. I like this mechanic, came from a good reference. But the problem was not what he first thought and it took 4 days to get it solved, and $650. Required taking the whole dash apart. Wednesday evening he called to say to pick it up Thursday, he was on reconnecting "wire 50 of 120." Good grief! I know I could never do that job! Wednesday evening the air in the house quit! Part needs replaced, $900 job can't be done til Tuesday next week. Fortunately, it's just one unit, so only the upstairs is hot. Today a relative called to ask to "borrow" money. I laughed. Best they'll get from me is a listening ear and any advice I can offer. This is the second relative in 2 months, evidently I have some relatives who have a false idea of my fincancial situation! Hopefully when I keep saying no they'll stop calling me. At least for money. ;o)...See MoreMonday....let's have tea early. And share some music :)
Comments (11)I was thinking of this thread while I watched The Ghost and Mrs. Muir the other night. Lovely old movie. My Master's is in Biology. Looking at pond scum but technically a botany major. I still enjoy that, but spend more time teaching. Is this what morning feels like? It is still dark! (Taking dh for an early morning appointment, then home to can peaches.)...See MoreTuesday tea...too cold and rainy to be outside
Comments (11)It's 64° here in Larimore; it's drizzling rain and breezy. After enduring Arkansas and Texas heat and humidity the past two weeks, this feels like Heaven. Today is our 24th wedding anniversary. We went out to eat and bought a new gas grill for the patio. We also stopped by the garden center so I could get more plants for the gardens. They are still very sparce. We added three Sweet 100 cherry tomato plants, four bunches of Kale, one jalapeño and two poblano peppers, and a North Star bell pepper to the veggie garden. For the cottage side of gardening I picked up four more white cosmos, three Wave petunias (two purple, one pink) another curly parsley, four Cleome plants, two Armani peonies - and two four-packs of Super Elfin impatiens for my neighbor's two patio pots. I always put impatiens in the pots for her. I wanted two "red" peonies and Wes like the Armani's color. I know nothing about them, but I guess I'll learn! Their supplies were very limited. I have hot Tetley tea made and a "Paul Müller Selb" Bavarian porcelain cream and sugar set to add to the table today. I love this larger, funky set. Yes; like 99% of all my pretties, they are thrift shop treasures!...See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
