Food Photos for Friday (Fun!)

There are times, Dear Reader, when I have such fun and dine so well, that I wish you were able to share in the good eats and good moods.  I recently had a picnic in Central Park and as I watched the sun set, I sipped on sparkling wine and surveyed my surroundings.  I had [read more ...]

Coming Soon

Mary’s been a regular in my cast of characters for quite some time.
She’s a cheeky sort of gal, and though she insists I embellish (moi?), I still think she’s the funniest person I know.

Lamb Lollipops

I like lamb because it strikes me as cute. All the prancing and nuzzling and whatnot.
Also, I am tickled by the fact that I cook it until it’s softly pink.
And oh man, do I love the name lamb lollipops.
I might need help.
Eventually.
