Retro Cooking

What a wonderful, fresh smell of cinnamon and nutmeg filling the kitchen when a pumpkin pie is in the oven baking. Easter is perfect for a warm pumpkin pie topped with white mounds of whipped cream.

I can not resist getting out my retro aprons to serve this great dessert. Over the years I have added to my collection of aprons. My grandmother was the mentor in the family who wore these aprons. She wore them to cook in, hang clothes on the clothes line outdoors and also when picking fruit off the trees, she would just pick up the bottom on the hem and place the fruit in her apron.

Company is coming

This week end we have company coming. I wanted it to be something fresh and inviting as soon as they arrive at the front door. My first step was to get my favorite magazine, Romantic Homes out and get busy fliping pages to get some ideas.

I came up with these beautiful pink and white colors on white tea rose lace with red and pink glass to add sparkle to this little buffet table.

Do not forget the sweet desserts. Now, I am ready for the week end guests to arrive!

Spring is here or just around the corner in some parts of the US. So let's make sure we are trim and free to travel. With the warmer air, we want cooler clothes. Cottons and cotton gauze are great for summer and spring time.

Spring weather

Yes this weekend, I was out flying. The aircraft is a wonderful 1977 Turbo Arrow. Aviation is the perfect hobby, it does take some dollars, committement, and top notch math skills.

The beauty from the sky, gives each person a wonderful appreciation of the great country and freedom we have here in the US.

Visiting Blogs

Starbucks in the afternoons are so disappointing with their coffee choices. My husband, Texbrewmaster, brought this to my attention, while we were visiting in San Jose this past summer.

Since that trip, we have found--only choice "Pikes Place Roast" after twelve o'clock per store managers. Hey, we live in the USA, we like having our choices. Let me hear your thoughts.
