Finished this...very good!



Reading this...very good!



Wearing this...love black and white! It's literally a dress on me.



Want it in red, too...should I?



Den is on his way home from four long days in Minnesota...making tomato/cucumber salad, a cabbagey slaw...which I am terrible at...and these! Corn Cakes from Food 52!



Now I need to decide if we should grill salmon...or if Den should stop at Walt's for the best fried chicken in Delaware...hmmm...tough decision...

Happy Thursday!

Bits And Bobs!

This book is soooo good! It's chock full of vampires...grown up ones...living all over NYC! It's my guilty pleasure today...sent by the publisher...not one of my NetGalley, Vine or Edelweiss ones...I will read it all the live long day!








Kimonos...I finally found just the right one...I can toss it over anything this summer...I love it! I found it at a quirky shop called Urban Outfitters.






But I am actually going to wear clothes with mine...it is yummy in real life! The perfect summer toss on...





And I might actually have bought the blue one, too...and again...wearing pants with mine! Or longer shorts...





Cravings...fried green tomatoes over cheesy grits? OMG!

These are from Joanne...

She says that they are loosely based on a recipe from the Tupelo Honey Cookbook...which I have and love!



This Panzanella Salad from BonAppetit! Doesn't it look good?



Ok...off to feel less guilty and clean/organize at least one thing! I should get on the treadmill but I am more in the mood for outside exercise...or a day off today...I will put my Fitbit on Roxie...well...when she wakes up...



Happy Wednesday!

Fantasy And Food?

Fantasy!

I read in genres sometimes. Bursts of mysteries, bouts with literary fiction, and often...flights of fantasy! I never liked reading fantasy...I held on to certain books...Harry Potter was one of them...until my sister Paula said...just read it! She did the same thing with Cassandra Clare's books. But once I did start reading fantasy...there are times when I just crave it...thus...this week I am heavily into fantastic books...like this one!

It's a nail biter! Ashyn and Moira and their pets...a hound and a huge cat...have to venture into the Forest Of The Dead...to free souls...and very bad and scary things are happening! It's so good...I have two kitties in my lap fighting and I still can't stop reading!







Food!

I need to make every one of these! From my much loved Food 52!

California Gazpacho...





Fish Chowder or Fish Soup...all potatoey and coddy and creamy...





A simple radish sandwich...with mustardy mayo and avocado...





Back to my book and thoughts of my radishy lunch!

Happy Tuesday! We have tons of rain and flash flood warnings and fog and cooler weather! The girls and I are not budging today!

Here we are...not budging...lol!

Monday's Book Stash!

A special thank you to Cassie from Disney and also to Seneca from Simon & Schuster for The Midnight Thief ( Cassie ) and Flights And Chimes...( Seneca )...my Garth Stein book came from Simon & Schuster, too!


















I am also reviewing a lovely box of organic goodies! We use Chia Seeds daily but I can't wait to try Coconut Sugar and Coconut Flour! The Maca Powder will go into smoothies...it's an energy booster! Thank you, Robert!













Just about finished with this YA book...yep...it's got just about everything a book like this needs...including Gargoyles, Wardens, Demons and a Half Warden/Demon...that would be Layla. Seriously...muscles could not get any more carved and ripped than on Zayne and Roth...don't you love those names? Lol...I loved this boo

Rain! It's A Rainy Day!

Breakfast! Our new fave!

Toasted ciabatta bread with smooshed avocado, a dippy egg with freshly grated cheese on top and a tomato salad!




Still reading this...



Shameless photos of these two...








Happy Sunday!
