I feel we've unleashed hell...and this will end very badly.

Falafel patties over mixed green salad with home-made yogurt/lemon/dill sauce. Turned out great--filling and yummy. Trying to eat more whole, plant-based foods these days...the book Blue Zones has...

I think you'll like their commercial for this year--I did, but then, I'm sentimental...

Ate out with our Monday dining group -- had grilled Mahi tacos--really good. Then I was naughty and had onion rings as my side. Cold night so that was my excuse for something fried and hearty....

That house was interesting to view but I found it crazy-making as my design sense tends to be simple and uncluttered. Too many places for the eyes to travel in that over-done home, imho. The...

It's cold so wanted something hearty -- made a ground turkey meatloaf with roasted potatoes and carrots. Came out good...

I made Haluška-- a fried cabbage, onion and noodle dish that's very filling and yummy.

Sounds good! Chinese food can be delicious. We had simple turkey burgers and some Amaretto...and then a good book. Quite relaxed and peaceful! Tonight we're going our with dear friends to a local...

We just watched "Undercover" on Netflix. The documentary profiles the life and stories broken and reported by journalist Seymour Hersh. Amazing to watch and we learned a lot. He broke My Lai...

Off the cuff meal tonight..we had spicy Asian peanut butter soba noodles--and pumpkin pie for dessert. It's what we were craving. Just polished off the last of a turkey breast over the last 4...

My New Year's resolution is to get out of the house more --maybe by signing up for yoga classes. I used to do yoga a few years back but stopped and I miss it--and the nice folks I met through yoga....

Decided to make Penang Curry for our Christmas dinner...was thinking about a pot roast but given prices and the heaviness of that dish not appealing right now, decided on the lighter Penang Curry. ...

[QUOTE=catherine;451091]I'm sure this is an old lady rant, but have car headlights gotten brighter? Or are people keeping their brights on? Or do DH and I have cataracts? What's the deal? We hate...

How wonderful!! Sounds delish!!

Need to grocery shop and no left-overs in frig so husband just left to pick up our Chinese order of Singapore Rice Noodles and Hot n Sour soup. Will hit the spot.

i’m surprised you carry some books over from year to year for your sale. Of course no one wants them, old books are really hard to be rid of.

One of my jobs at a large public library system was to...

Just finished our annual Friends of the Library book sale. A huge undertaking shared by a great group of book-loving folks.

We purged some old books (some in bad shape) that have not sold in...

Candles and hot toddies are our season's celebration. So simple and comforting--and warm.

Yep, too much tech. Will it get worse? "Open the pod bay doors, Hal" Hal, "f*** you!"

Yes, I do think there's more sadness and discontent in our society today. Some were hoping for "making American great again" and that, imho, hasn't happened, only the opposite. The rising costs of...

Here's a piece I wrote a few years back about today's holiday. It still holds true so I send it out to you Simple Live-ers!

Thanks Giving for Friends
