Mi vida es un bolsillo lleno de arco iris.
My life is a pocketful of rainbows.

So, here I am...
***This blog was Established 2005***
And I am slowly reestablishing it.

I love English Lit! I have a fascination with puns, satire and tropes. I relish sharing the latest logic puzzle I've found. I advocate for education reform. I read Spanish much more fluently than I speak it. I know a lot of German. I dabble in SEVERAL languages .... including writing, history and knowledge of cultures. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock! I homeroast green coffee beans ... my fave are those from Chiapas, Mexico. I try new teas and those from Scotland make me smile. Friends and family are AWESOME!

I hope that something made you smile today!.

In My Life.....

Thank you to Husband. 5 beautiful roses.
Part of an ongoing love story: Husband's New Year's Resolution was to buy me a flower(s) every month...real, faux, whatever. They make me smile and feel special. I like flowers so much.
Bits and pieces: The vase usually holds an arrangement that I did for my Mother...she loved blue and the vase was a part of her Mother's Day one year.
Of course: Of course, I will take another picture of my flowers tomorrow. :-)



Our dog would so freak out if I got this Andrew Zimmern hoodie!
They come in orange and slate.




-----A recipe for Sesame Orange Shrimp that I found via PBS.org/food/recipes.
~~~Husband's tummy is sensitive but ours will likely have a tiny amount of crushed pepper added to the oil.
~~~I was happy to see that our local Walmart officially carries 3 sesame seed options...standard, white organic and toasted...of course, they will likely actually only have the standard. #SmallTownLaments


-----We are making Hungarian Chicken Goulash soon. The cooking for this recipe is done in an authentic style.
-----Curried Cider-Braised Pork Chops




I am reading this. We are still planning to build grape arbors. :-)


I am on page 35. There don't seem to be any recipes. Right now the book is talking about when healthy and vegetarian options were introduced to ball parks. The last part of the book is a culinary tour of all 30 major league ball parks.
