Pie and Yarn

It is such a lovely weekend drawing to a close. Following Julie & Julia, I decided to make an apple pie. My own version of Posie Gets Cozy's pie.  I had four eyes following me around the kitchen the whole time - enthralled...

and then the PIE came out of the oven

...and then I had coffee and knitted... and watched Monarch of the Glen

Long time, no blog...loving many things!

Went to see Julie & Julia today and it was such a scrumptious treat. It was the perfect treat - full of lovely food, lovely clothes and quirky things. Loved it!  Now, I want to try to make Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon. I came home and grilled steaks and made some delicious mushrooms that I have never tackled. The mushrooms had all kinds of goodies like butter, sour cream ... yum.. .. I will definitely make them again.  I was reading some recipes for marinated mushrooms and they sounded fun to tackle as well.  For dessert I made a fantastic sour cream apple pie. 

I have been totally addicted to Monarch of the Glen on Netflix. I used to watch it on BBC Americas, but now I can watch the entire series on Netflix OnDemand. How awesome!!!  Such a funny, beautiful show set in the wilds of Scotland - Glenbogle.  Tasty tasty show! 

    

Inspired by Giada... Mac & Cheese

Wasn't feeling well today and was forced to watch the Food Network. Giada had a "Pasta Potluck" episode on this afternoon which included so many different pastas - even a pasta PIE. I decided to treat myself to a whole wheat pasta mac & cheese. It was decadent. I improvised w/ heavy cream, parmesan, romano, havarti, cheddar, butter and salt & pepper. This dinner was AMAZING!!!  So great in fact, I took some photos. I can't wait to put it under the broiler tomorrow night for dinner when it will be even better.

Cheese, gooey cheese peace.

Interesting food item found in convenience store on way home from bristol

Loving right now... No Sugar Added Fudgsicle

Hush Puppy Basket

Don't know what these are? Well, they are hush puppies. They have to be HOT. They have to be crisp on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Made of cornmeal and a touch of magic, served with butter - preferably honey butter.

Drink of the gods.

Sweet tea peace from Stephenson's BBQ.

Loving right now... Cheerwine

Today is a busy day. I'm going to Stephenson's BBQ and to see a Campbell basketball game. I am lazing around getting ready to go get ready and face this yummy day.www

Drinking something I love right now.... Diet Cheerwine. Only thing about it, it's red so I have be be careful that I'm not messy.

Delish.

Salmon

Had salmon filet tonight for dinner. It was easy to thaw out (it was my fave type of entree --- frozen, individually wrapped). It's hard when you are single to have meat that you can cook for solo dinners that isn't a bear to freeze, store, goes bad, etc.  These new individual serving packages of chicken, fish, etc. ROCK.

So I thawed out the salmon and then spiced up both sides with garlic salt, pepper and italian seasoning.  Then I broiled it in the oven till both sides (turned 1x) got the golden crispy look I prefer when I'm having salmon on a salad.

I put the salmon over spinach with tomatoes, celery and Trader Joe's Goddess dressing. 

Ah, tasty. Tasty peace

Ho Ho Hostess 100 Calorie Cake

Don't do it. I'm not going to lie. They are delicious. Serious chocolate flavor and only 100 calories. Hostess has these new 100 calorie packs in chocolate, strawberry and plain twinkie cake.  I bought the chocolate devil packs.

I've done my part. Now it's up to you - just say no.  I didn't.  I regret it.  Peace.
