Thanks Kris Carr for writing this. I've been keeping up with my working out. I also baked this weekend. Yum! Thanks to picky-palate.com for the recipe of Cinnamon Toasted Pumpkin Pie Tarts (above photo). yummers!! added to my, "will make again" List. enjoy your weeks everyone!  Famous Amos

Weekends are Good

Weekends that are relaxing are the best. Friday night shopping. New books and new gadgets for the kitchen. Yay Ebelskevers for the first time with blueberries and really nummy mable syrup with vanilla. nice friday night snack. Jay helped.  A minor tragedy struck in the kitchen while rushing to make the abelskivers. Jay went to get mixer out of cupboard and fell over the dishwasher door onto the floor. Minor sprain of wrist. Scary but funny. I wish I could replay that whole scene all over for him. yes i can be an evil one. Saturday was built on excersise, football (for jay), some cleaning, and then a fun evening watching roller derby. Go Emerald City All-Stars. You kicked butt. Final score not fresh but it was something like 201 to 66. uh....the little extreme win for them but nicely done. Today, was all about making a new great soup, compliments of OhSheGlows blog. WOW! Good stuff and sooo healthy with red curry, spinach, veg broth, and bunch of veggies. and some lite reading, napping, and ending with movies. All and all a good weekend with the exception of the sprained wrist. Cant wait till next weekend already. Hate work!!

Live vs Virtual

Hi all, I hope you start reading my blog and enjoy enough to keep on comin back. Cheers to my popularity. laugh out loud. I want to start by saying Happy New Year to all. I strive to have the best year this year. No more grouchiness, boredom, or unhealthiness for me. I want this one to be top notch.

I have a gripe though, people who believe technology is the way of the world.  Dont get me wrong, I love technology, luv texting, facebooking, blogging,  internet searching. But come on people what happened to living in the moment and enjoying the live breathing characters around us. not those virtual humans that you think you connect with. or reading books online? what happened to holding a book, smelling the new book, and letting the pages get all wrinkled while you relax in a tub or get covered with food smudges while you snack on goodies while engrossed in the words on each page. Lets just say, you wont see a kindle or a nook in my hand.  I like making space for my books and the softness of a book with wrinkled pages.  Who agrees with me?  and.....happy new year to you all.

Big smooch, Famous Amos
