A tea and crumpet shop for breakfast: Fun! However, they didn’t have any of that clotted cream I read about now and again in English mysteries. Oh well, the jam was pretty good. They offered lemon curd, but it would have tasted like lemon. I’m more of a berry person.
I learned that a crumpet is really an English muffin. Then again, it now makes sense, since crumpets are muffins in England.
Isn’t quilting grand? I appreciate the beauty of each scene or pattern.
Thank goodness there are those willing to stab themselves with the needle or wind the bobbin. I am not one of these.
Sense of humor, love it! Still not buying or eating them.
Well, my nephew has a recipe with garlic and butter. That might make them edible.
I hear talk and read articles repeatedly lately about the importance of looking ahead, keeping your eye on the future, moving forward, etc. That can be good advice in some cases. However, I like to eat tasty food and take remarkable photos. For both photography and the harvesting of most of our foods, it’s important to look all around.
In photography, you may be concentrating on the gorgeous scene before your eyes and taking photos, but you might be startled by the beauty that lies behind you as well. If you are only looking forward, you miss the opportunity behind you.
In harvesting apples, one usually returns to each tree three times. Fruit on a tree ripens top down and outside in. If you only pick once, you’ll have ripe fruit, semi-ripe fruit, and not even remotely edible fruit. If you pick from the top and down the first time, you’ll get the most delicious fruit. If you go back to that tree and pick what remains on the outside, you’ll again enjoy delicious treats. Lastly, if you go back a third time, you will be able to pick what remains inside and know the fabulous taste of worthwhile labor.
Looking ahead is good, but looking all around is unequivocably delicious, and most photographers have documented proof.
My favorite food group is ice. I enjoy iced water, iced tea, iced coffee, and ice in my soda pop. Even in the winter, I enjoy iced beverages.
Therefore, when a treasured friend guided me to a recipe for ice, I was absolutely delighted! I can make my very own at any time! Please check out this great recipe, all of the over 800 comments, and share it with all of your friends and family!

This morning I woke up to the sound of an off-key bird singing in my bedroom. I sat up and listened intently while reaching for my glasses to see what type of bird had invaded my sleeping sanctuary.
After a moment, I realized exactly where the song was coming from … my right nostril! I was stuffed up and breathing through it was making that dreadful bird’s song.
Moral of the Story: One never knows the sounds the body will make. Well, teenage boys might, but that I’m not.
YOU are the news now...
