More of Hanks’s Beauties…….

I sure miss Hank and his dog Otto. I get sad every time I look at his house. Hank and Otto both loved my dog Boo Bear and always said hi when he checked his mail. We would always collect his mail for him when he would leave town. I felt compelled to capture the beauty in his yard for his honor in my heart.HanksPinkBeauty1HanksPinkBeauty2HanksRedBeauty1HanksRedBeauty2HanksRedBeauty3HanksRedBeauty4HanksRedBeauty5HanksRedBeauty6Hugz Blondie and Boo Bear

Here’s What’s Cooking In Blondie’s Diner! :)

It would be so kewl to have my own diner as much as I love to cook! PulledPorkAndOnionsPlatterOh my gosh my pulled pork turned out so awesome! Here is the pretty platter of it with onions!PulledPorkDinnerThis is what our dinner plate looked like tonight! Yuuuuuummmmmmmm! 🙂CherryBread1CherryBread2CherryBread3CherryBread4CherryBreadSliceI love old recipes and all things retro and antique! Maybe it is because I am becoming an antique! tee hee!!!!! I think as we get older we become more nostalgic! Well I made this cherry bread recipe today! They turned out so beautiful!!!!! They taste good but I think it is something of an acquired taste. One of those recipes that kind of has to grow on you!

Next time I am going to try it with either strawberries or blueberries!

In my kitchen I use my C.A.Y.G. rule! I always Clean As You Go so I am not overwhelmed with the clean up!

I used to entertain a lot more when I was in my younger years, I am finding that it is harder and harder to stand in the kitchen and do all that anymore cuz of some health stuff I have to deal with.

My Grandma loved cooking elaborate meals and entertaining and she did it almost to the end of her life. I don’t know how she did it! She was a wonderful cook. She didn’t teach me how to cook as she hated anyone messing in her kitchen but I think she passed the good luck torch on to me as everyone likes what I cook or bake and I feel blessed!

Memories and Bizzzzzeeeee Day!

20130716-112925.jpg

This morning I watched a Columbo episode that had actor Robert Conrad in it! I loved him when I was growing up! I used to watch him in Black Sheep Squadron! Very handsome, sexy voice! It’s funny remembering during my “daydreaming years” I used to imagine I was married to him!!

Well Bear and I have been super busy all morning! Got dinner in the crock very early, Bear and I took part of a walk, poor puppy had some diarrhea cuz his silly mommy bought the wrong kind of dog food! (They don’t call me Blondie for nothing!!) I ran up to the pet store and his right kind of food! My baby boy has a sensitive system and he doesn’t like changes!

I came home and got to making my bread and when it comes out of the oven I will take pics for a post to show it off!!

We had a marvelous time seeing our grandson and even had the opportunity to see the grand furry babies too! Yes, what a delight is was! Look how big “Little Man” has grown? Can you believe this? Now, I have to tell you, he is cutting 6 new teeth at one time! So what does this mean? You are going to see a lot of drool!!!!!!! Maybe, even bucket loads over the next few weeks. We would change his shirt, and before we could take him out to the natural light, to shoot a few pictures,his shirt would be drenced…sigh. You might be thinking, why not put on a bib? Well, “Little Man” thinks he too big for bibs, so that just won’t do!

I cut up my zucchini and a tomato and sauté them in olive oil, seasoned with some Italian seasoning, pepper a wee bit of salt and some fennel seeds. Cooked up some noodles then combined them and topped with Parmesan cheese!
