Do you ever see wild animals? Living in South Florida, I’m relieved to say that it has been a long time since I’ve seen an alligator. We don’t live on a canal or lake, so when I have seen them in the wild, it’s been in the Everglades. The other…

When it comes to what I’m cooking for dinner, I’m a planner. Ken and I sit down one evening each week and plan out the menu for the week ahead; I build my grocery list from that. Sometimes we’ll make adjustments, if there’s a change in our schedule or we…

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? It’s hard to choose a favorite place, so I’m going with one that definitely counts as one of my favorites, a place that made an unexpected impression: Somerset and North Devon in England. We traveled there in 2017…

Thursday was Thanksgiving in the US, a time where we reflect on those things for which we are grateful. Last week at this time, I was looking forward to celebrating with our family, and thankful that Ken would be able to enjoy the holiday. Last year, he was in extreme…

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Living in South Florida, I take the beach for granted. We don’t go to the beach that often, but it’s always there, and it’s usually a wonderful, relaxing experience. Just today, Ken and I talked about going for a beach walk on…

What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? I let a lot of the daily prompts go by, but I’ll respond to any that involve food. But oh my, is this one hard! Years ago, I read that everyone should have three weeks worth of meals that they could prepare.…

There’s a great song from the Andre Lloyd Webber musical Song and Dance, entitled Unexpected Song. Maybe I should actually title this post “unexpected tastes,” because the new recipe that I tried was, to me at least, an unusual combination of ingredients that proved to be unexpectedly delicious. I thought…
