Flashback Fashions

Ol' Red

It's Flashback Friday once again and today I'll remissness on clothes I remember back in mid/late 60's.  First off is this little number, a red plaid jumper.  The pic to the left is not exactly like mine but it's pretty close.  I remember wearing it to kindergarten, with both a white turtleneck and tights underneath.  Side story...when I'd get home

Magical Memory Tour

Hub-a-dub-dub

I am thinking once again for this Thoughtful/Thankful Thursday and I'm pondering upon memories.  I was reading my AARP mag (yes, I'm a member) and flipped to an article on how music is greatly helping Alzheimer patients.  It seems that music is a kind of "magical"catalyst (I'm so full of whimsy!) that conjures up our tucked-away memories so we can enjoy them again.  Before I forget (hee hee, irony) here's the link to read more about the wonderful affects music has for the elderly...

And it's good for you :)

I was scoping out Facebook the other day and zeroed in on the tidbit to the left and thought it'd be an interesting topic for W/E Wednesday, that topic being laughter.  After watching this video of people being slowly overtaken

Just Desserts

As good as it looks

Thoughts of sweeties are dancing in my head like sugarplums this Tips, Tricks and Treats Tuesday.  I have test-eaten all of the following goodies and they've all been given the two-forks-up approval from me and the family.

First on the dessert tray is Krispie Ice Cream Dessert. This recipe is just right for a summer gathering as it only has 4 ingredients (more if you desire extra toppings that I didn't use), one of those ingredients is ice cream (yum!), it makes enough for a small crowd as it's made in a 13x9" pan and, duh, it tastes scrumptious.

It's cool and creamy and is reminiscent of fried ice cream.  The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter but I used 1/2 cup and it turned out fine.  I didn't use the caramel sauce shown in the photo but I'm guessing it would've been a nice extra flavor.  Here's the link for this chilly delight...

Serving up some pretty pancakes

Taco Pancakes!

Hello there!  It's another Mesmerizing Medium Monday and today I'm dishing up some Pancake Art.  The hotcakes to the left were cooked up by Michael Goudeau who started out his craft by making letters out of pancake batter to amuse his kiddies then took off 

Simple Sunday-Zeb and I

Holding my trusty Zebco

out at our fishing spot

clear, sunny and hot

is how the weather did go.

Calm and warm on the pier

dipped hot dogs in the lake

caused a minuscule wake

wondered if fish were near.

Hooked on my Senko

and flung out my line

Zeb shot it out fine

 watched how far it did go.

Gave Zeb's handle a turn

slowly reeled in my bait

going slowly, but wait

a heaviness hard to discern.

A fish...could it be?

dragging in our prize

Zeb and I soon realize

it's only the weed of the sea!
