“Smoothie”

I love making smoothies without following any specific recipe.

This morn I noticed that our last Banana was on the Brink of Bereavement, so I asked if he would like to go for a final swim with his buddies Pineapple, Strawberry, Spinach, Turmeric, and Cayenne.

“ Yes, let me peel off what I’m wearing and I’ll jump right in!”

HR … trying to “encourage” Smoothie.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/25/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. My favorite summer lunch: simple Tomato Sandwich with vine-ripe tomatoes, accompanied by mayo, thinly sliced Vidalia onions, and a sprinkling of fresh thyme, salt and pepper.

Oh my GOODness!

2. Going to Tybee Island Post Theater to see grandson Daniel’s final Savannah play before heading off to musical theatre college in the fall.

Granddaughter Madison, ex-wife Donna, along with HR and me waiting for the show to begin. 

Daniel played the part of Jack (as in Jack and the beanstalk) in Into the Woods.

Daniel with his girlfriend Amalie, who was the lead actress (the Baker’s Wife) in the play.

3. I know I say this often, but what a blessing air-conditioning is. I know it’s very hot in many, many places, but here in Savannah the heat is exacerbated by ridiculously thick humidity.

Weekend:

But as Marjorie Taylor Greene says, there’s no climate crisis!

4. The ability to lift my coffee cup up to my mouth each morning. What a blessing!

5. Our overly photographed kitty cat Benny.

May you have an Overpopulation of Good this last weekend in July.

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.)

I’m marveling this morn, remembering our supper last night.

I prepared Neal’s Sunday Night Chicken, using a variation of Ina Garten’s Perfect Roast Chicken.

Carrots, fennel, garlic, onion, fresh thyme and fresh rosemary. 

Prep the six-pound chicken …

Impatiently wait an hour and a half, as incredible aroma fills our humble abode.

In the meantime, make vegetable broth with parts of the veggies I did not use.

And take a little rest with Benny on the couch …

Voila!

The older I get, the better I like blurry photos.

Robert doesn’t trust me with sharp knives.

Delicious Food Joy!
