Month: February 2011
This morning while working, I stopped to use a thesaurus. I use on online thesaurus. I have one built into my writing program that’s good, but I like the online thesaurus best because, well, I guess just because. So, whenever I use it, which is all the time, I leave the writing program and go online (and maybe check Facebook and my comments here – heh.)
Here’s the menu for my family for the week of February 14th. As far as desserts go, we have Floating Hearts to enjoy today, and I’ll be making fruit pizzas (recipe to follow) for a night at church this week!
Pin ItWhile all this was going on, a woman got out of the passenger’s seat of the car, opened the trunk, removed a walker, and started slowly hobbling her way into the restaurant. The doctor ordered and the waitress came and went while this woman inch by inch made it to the table.
Pin ItA “Sweetheart Steak” is a rib-eye steak specially cut to resemble a heart. There is a membrane running down the middle of it that separates the two steaks. It is a tender, beautiful cut of meat, and just fun enough to be a perfect main course for a Valentine’s Day dinner.
Pin ItThis a simple, hands-off side dish. A light olive oil with the simple seasoning of salt and pepper is all you need.
Pin ItI found this recipe while reading a book called The Reluctant Entertainer. As soon as I read it, I have been waiting for an opportunity to make it. I love the concept of making noodle strips out of zucchini. This was absolutely delicious. The perfect accompaniment to the steak with which we enjoyed them.
Pin ItThis is a wonderful recipe if you’re looking for something light. The raspberry sauce is amazingly simple, so fresh tasting and crisp, and the meringue is light and fluffy and literally melts in your mouth. It is a perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day or for an anniversary celebration.
Pin ItMy husband Gregg is an incredibly upbeat man. He’ll say he’s very moody; however, that moodiness he feels typically doesn’t manifest until it comes out in his writing and his poetry. His outward attitude is one of confidence and joy. He sings while he works and does chores around the house, he teases and jokes, he laughs, he has fun. He is encouraging and exciting, ready to go on an adventure in a spontaneous moment. Even when I feel myself reacting negatively to something, he’ll crack a joke about it or lighten the mood enough that I’m able to work through the negativity.
