OOOOOHOo LA LA! Look what BF missed while sleeping! ;]

We've missed YOU Ms. Shanza! Your new profile picture is great. I'm sure you have not gained as much as you might have imagined. This was/is all just a big BLURR! How are you?! I'll put on an outfit, if you do too? ;]

Flannel, fleece, Lycra! Don't forget the polyester. What a scream. I HEAR YOU!!! I actually had to cover all my new hanging clothing in closet with clear plastic sheets. Dust even with a/c was beginning to settle on shoulders etc. We also covered hubs work slacks and dress shirts, too. ;[ Going to pick up a new summer outfit purchased back in March from the seamstress today. Maybe I'll get motivated to get out of the PJ's AND try them on. Haha.

LOOKING SOOOO GORGEOUS! Love love love all the textures. Your haircut is adorable, too. So hard to imagine you're experiencing winter when it's summertime prime here. Definitely needed to lighten up on our evening walks... but have no summer clothing in new size. I dislike shopping on line. I prefer shop (good exercise), fit and take home. But we are in a major spike right now. Not safe. I'd really like to find a pair of comfortable walking Bermuda shorts or skorts. BTW, the 80's never looked so GOOD...

What an attractive dish! The shrimp is seared to perfection. I'd expect nothing less. Now I want shrimp! Was it hard to leave behind the fettuccine Alfredo? I just want to dive into the image - grab my fork, twirl the pasta and dig in. Looks yummy. ;]

Money pockets were filled with spiced mini-cubed sweet potato, peas and corn. I usually eat one (just the filling) and hubby eats the other three intact. And, my empty pocket! Haha. I freeze the candied pecans and they last months. Walnuts, too. Love nuts on my salads. Had an acorn squash I needed to bake before spoiling. It will go good with Thai leftovers tonight.

Mandarin orange + candied pecan salad for lunch today. Red curry Thai chicken take out last night with leftovers for tonight! No cooking for two days. Yay! ;]

Slogan for the day...Fun food French fries rule! ;]

THATS true restraint, my friend! Those fries and onion rings are calling out my name... ;]

Oh GT - I'd be lost without the boys, especially with everything soooo up side down! I think there is tremendous comfort in the regularity and normalcy of purchasing, preparing and presenting food for ourselves and our families. I delight in your posts with trips to that open field fresh air market! How freeing. Also, how could you have ever predicted what a timely thread this would become when you first created it? Thank you! And, thanks to all who inspire and post here. Here's a few happy plates I found at Anthropologie last week on a quick jaunt to the mall. Fun. ...And, some lightly candied roasted pecans I made for salads yesterday. Hugs. ;]

They are sometimes called donut peaches, too. Aren't you just LOVIN' PEACH season? I am eating one a day. Plan to grill some over the 4th holiday weekend.

Great minds think alike, ms.sss. A refreshingly cold blue cheese wedge salad with slivered almonds, bacon bites, red onion, chives, petite iceberg lettuce head, tomatoes + black pepper for lunch today... on this very hot summer day! Ate half. ;]

Heat index 109* degrees today. Hubs was a trooper grilling this quasi-tomahawk steak with homemade BQ sauce to include a little cacao powder. Bobby displays a great deal of discipline as he anticipates a nibble come dinnertime. I ate about two ounces of steak, two potato wheels and lots of oven roasted green beans. Just a bite of apricot chia pudding. Found this recipe too sweet...

WOW that looks good!

A girl after my own heart! Macadamia nuts and blueberries... Yum! ;]

I love that patio + stream beyond in their backyard, too! Perfect setting for a BQ bull and dinner. ;]

Is Tomahawk steak like prime rib? Tender? BQ inside or outdoors? WOW! What an AMAZING spread. Like YUM.

ooops.

Love your elevated back porch + yard!? Just had a salad today, too - with cheddar cheese and strawberries.

I'd say hubs and son are two very LUCKY fellows! Might you share your brisket recipe?

Haha. Looks so good! Are these steak bites? Set a Chinet plate out for me, too!

Street corn and a hamburger for summer evening dinner after sunset hike. Poached pears simmered in bourbon maple syrup. Ate two pear chunks.

LOVE blue and white for the summer. Vertical stripes do add visual height to us shorties! Haha. Looking fab, Bayou! May I ask where you have been wearing your new outfits? I've become sooo lazzzzy in just casual wear especially wearing a mask + vinyl gloves. LOL. The Florida dynamic makes it important to stay vigilant. Great shoes, too! Fun.

Ditto! Recipes definitely worthy of the effort... Our favorite GO TO dessert. Cannot wait to see more of your Chaplin inspired creations. Your tart post magnificent. Thank you for sharing it with us. ;]
