Eggnog like the Griswold's

Ahhhh, nothing makes holiday eggnog taste better than drinking it from a moose mug!

I ordered these last year from canadianmoose.com.

It makes for the Hap-hap-happiest Christmas...

Once upon a time

weezie wore wings,

walked down the aisle

especially marked for love

and smiled a great big weezie smile.

Orange Watermelon?

As I walked around the farmer's market I spotted something I just had to try. An orange watermelon?

I guess I wasn't that shocked. I've had yellow watermelon in the past. Now to try the orange variety.

Looks like a regular watermelon from the outside...

but the inside is juicy orange sweetness.

It makes me want to put together a tri-color watermelon salad.

Any excuse to use the melon baller.

Sounds like a party.

farmer's market anticipation

Soon those days will be here again. I really can't wait. There is an overwhelming sense of joy that I get seeing those fruits and vegetables in all their freshness piled high in lush textures and colors. A sensory overload! I imagine the rich soil and the sturdy plants soaking in the rain and the spring sunshine. Grow, grow, grow! I eagerly await the fruits of this labor of love.
