Any Thyme

“Robert, please get me a lemon and some fresh thyme,” I said-pled, as we finished up some shopping, and I headed to the car, while he was trekking across the street to one of our favorite little independent grocers.

Back home I delved into magical alchemy …

Homemade simple syrup, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, orange slices and … some THYME.

Slash it all together with some Tito’s and voilà …

Wait, that is not the best shot!

That’s a little better.

But here, look at the lavender blooms of the thyme through the glass …

And here are photographer Robert’s photos …

It’s thyme …

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 7/14/25

Oh my goodness! I’m still MARVELING over Robert’s absolutely amazing Scalloped Potatoes in Cast Iron Sunday Night Supper …

Putting it in the oven.

Taking it out of the oven. 

It was actually a full meal because Robert added layers of turkey and ham — and then some bacon on top.

(I unsuccessfully tried to convince myself that it was sort of vegetarian since it had so many potatoes.)
