Delightful & Delovely: February 2010
http://delightfulanddelovely.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. Being the romantic I proudly label myself to be, I must confess that Valentines Day is not a favorite of mine. You may ask how can this be? Well a tale of 1998 explains it all. Valentines evening and I was dutifully at my post as Blockbuster manager. A couple came in already in an argument: it seems he got her nothing and she was beyond upset. Movie chosen and at checkout she engaged me.blah, blah blag.am I right? Is he horrible to you? No" came out and boy was she confused.

Delightful & Delovely: July 2010
http://delightfulanddelovely.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 19, 2010. The meaning of me.in humor. With the 115 degree heat and mighty long days of late, I've found myself cooling off in the glorious solitude of a cool cucumber or lemon bath lately most evenings I get home. I light candle throw many slices into a tub of tepid water and relax. Birth date 44 is upon the horizon and as usual I get a bit philosophical each time another candle approaches. I mean another year of life and am I any closer to the real me? Me being me in 2006. Have a tiny waist.

Delightful & Delovely: April 2010

Monday, April 19, 2010. From amethyst to wine.purple is fine. I've always loved the hues with reds and blues that create purple. From garden to kitchen and everywhere in between it makes a statement and for me the deeper the tone the better. Alliums to tulips the hues can anchor, punch or grace a garden. How could you not just adore this flora bunda bounty? Cuisine. Naturally one thinks of grapes but pies and tarts? Martha's Concord Grape Tart was my first recipe waaaay back in 1985. Whichever shade you ...

Delightful & Delovely: January 2010

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Brava Tobi, Brava! Life has certainly been running at a hectic pace as of late and the blogger in my soul as been feeling so much remorse for misbehaving, however I can only remind you that my work weeks are insane and the remnants of Valley Fever have me collapsed at nightfall. Slowly I'm less spent but for now. I dream of a getaway. Back in the real world. I do have to shout to Tobi Fairley. Well deserved. Case closed. Photos courtesy of Tobi Fairley.

Delightful & Delovely: Bury me in berries!!!
http://delightfulanddelovely.blogspot.com/2012/05/bury-me-in-berries.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. Bury me in berries! Once again the season of starwberries looms upon the horizons of farmers markets and better produce departments. I'm excited, no a bit nuts for the starwberries. Now in AZ I do miss the times picking fresh at the farms that dot north of Metro Detroit: fresh slightly cool because I always go in the morning and oh sooo sweet. Somewhere between main course and dessert is strawberry gazpacho. It really can go either way sweet or savory. Macerate in balsamic has become...

Delightful & Delovely: December 2009
http://delightfulanddelovely.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. Tis the seaon to create your own reasons. I appreciate the gentle snowfall at midnight when I drive the empty streets home, lights twinkling, carols on the radio and the true peace of it all. I know my few gifts of thought always outweigh the mountains some think matter more. My perspective is the greatest gift of the season. PS Grant and Hailey are coming this Tuesday for 2 weeks. I get hugs, hand holding and kiddie kisses. Really who needs more. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://delightfulanddelovely.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. A present project and a future wish. Between all the tea poured around the world in honour of the Royal Wedding and the proliferation of spring buds, blooms and hues cascading across our land, I find this notion of bulbs in tea cups a perfect project for my weekend and an ideally simple gift for upcoming Mother's Day. Whether projects or relaxation is part of your weekend, enjoy, enjoy. Thursday, April 21, 2011. Hippity Hop Happy Weeekend. Squares are a staple of the Seders. Firml...

Friday, June 18, 2010. Back in Michigan today, my beloved Godson Grant graduated from elementary school. It still seems like just yesterday it was the first day of first grade. Thanks to his Mom I have a photo of that day soo long ago and its still an all time fave of mine. However. Where does it go and how does it go by so fast? Have a wonderful weekend. Monday, June 14, 2010. Books, books and more eye candy of the literary variety. Ever just go to Amazon and just peruse the cookbook covers? If you want...
