A Little Slice of Life...

 

I dragged in the door tonight to find pizza and a movie waiting on the other side.  The pizza was good and the movie was too.  Darling Companion received, from what I've seen, mostly lukewarm reviews... and, actually, had I been reviewing a movie like this in my twenties... I may have categorized it a geriatric snoozefest too.  But I'm no longer in my twenties... and the absence of blood, gore, special effects and body parts doesn't spoil a movie for me a bit.  

It's just a simple movie... with good actors and real dialogue... I mean Diane Keaton and Kevin Kline... c'mon!

Grease Up The Griddle...




It's that time of year again... my favorite!  Cool, crisp air... pumpkins... gorgeous colors... apples... comfort food!!  I know I'm rushing it a bit... but after this sweltering Summer, I'm happy to be back at the stove! Here's a standout recipe I came across in my recent culinary travels... thought I'd share...

Zoom Around the Room...



If you have cats, consider getting goods from this catnip manufacturer… it’s VERY good…  I (try to) smuggle it in the house… still tightly enclosed in its original packaging… additionally swathed in a plastic bag and stash it in a drawer in the china cabinet… twenty minutes later, my cats are still sitting motionless in front of the china cabinet staring at THE drawer… I kid you not… THAT good.
