This and That...



(Molly) You know how some spices offer serving suggestions on the back? Like if you bought kind of a random spice to put in a recpie, used 1 teaspoon and then are thinking, "What do I do with the rest of this big jar of cardamom?" And they'll put something on the back like "Great with fish, chicken and savory salads!" Or something like that, to make you think you might use it again. Well, we had a good laugh when we noticed our pepper grinder offered some serving suggestions on the back, too!



Pepper...ideal with beef, lamb, chicken, pork, fish, vegetables, eggs...so...like, everything. Pepper. You know, in case you weren't quite sure what it might go well with.



These are just some random shots of some of the great things growing in our yard -- This flower is on a feijoa tree. It apparently makes green, slimy, grainy fruit. You either love it or you hate it, one of our American friends told us. I hope we love it, because there's going to be a lot of them!



If you know me, or were at my wedding (although, if you were at my wedding, you obviously know me!!), you know I love hydrangeas. Look at these gorgeous guys growing in my back yard!! This is just a snippit -- they surround our whole house in colors varying from dark blue/purple to bright pink. Amazing!!

  1. Did you go to the website for recipe ideas? It's really strange to see pictures of green growing things and flowers while it's icy and gray here. Makes my head spin a bit.
