EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Be in love with your life,
every minute of it!

~ Jack Kerovac






 
There was snow all around, but
none for us, just lots of rain and
ice making electricity iffy at times.
I'm not sure if it's because of the
weather, but I spent a lot of time
playing in the kitchen this week.
 
I made cashew crème,
was even a late night episode
of frying homemade French
fries while watching the
Olympics. To make potato
chips, slice the potatoes
thin, fry in olive oil and
sprinkle with sea salt, oh
my goodness! They are
even better if you sprinkle
a little malt vinegar on them.
 
There might have been a few
tears falling as I watched
it was just beautiful.
 
And then there were even
more tears when I received
the picture of my almost
96 year old  [May 1] wearing
the cardigan I knit for him.
 
Enjoy a beautiful weekend
and Happy Valentines Day.
 
Love,
Tracey

  8. Your grandfather is a dapper man. He is rockin' that cardigan. It looks so good on him. I can see why you teared up.

  9. Your life looks very good Tracey. I love those kitchen days where you cosy down in the warmth of the stove creating food to share with the family. The recipes look delicious especially the beet humus. Your granddad looks so good for his age your cardigan suits him perfectly.
    I hope that you have a lovely valentines weekend with more olympic viewing and late night cooking but no more iffy electricity.
    Have fun

  12. Oh yes - those fried potatoes are just heavenly with some vinegar (try balsamic - that's great too). I love the picture of your grandfather. That's so awesome. And yes - I was a bit emotional watching the Russian skaters myself.
