A Book.......
I just finished reading The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, our April book club selection. I wasn't able to make the discussion (Boo!) but wanted to read it anyway and I am so glad that I did. I loved the story told from the point of view of the owner's DOG.
I give the book 5 Stars, 2 Thumbs-up, and a High-five!
A Recipe......
Last week, I wanted to make Broccoli Crack, but my broccoli was fuzzy-if you know what I mean. I get so aggravated at myself when I let that happen.
Am I the only one? Huh?
I threw the gross broccoli in the trash and grabbed my cauliflower and computer instead, found this recipe, and whipped it up for lunch.

One word: DELICIOUS!
A Netflix Show....
My sister gave me a heads-up about Call the Midwife a show available on Netflix. The show is set in the East end of London in the 1950's, and I can't always understand EVERY line, but I LOVE it anyway.
Have you seen it?
Do you have any goodies you want to share with me? I'd enjoy learning about what is making you happy today!

ReplyDeleteI am reading Praying for Strangers and am engrossed.
I am cooking white chicken artichoke lasagna (in the oven) a Pinterest recipe.
I would love to try the cauliflower recipe!
I have been hearing ALOT about Call the Midwife...I'm not sure if I am personally ready to watch it (we had a miscarriage in January, so birth and babies are kind of sensitive topics at the moment) but I have heard it is a great show. I have a giant head of cauliflower in my refrigerator that I have been wondering what to do with - that recipe will defiantly be on the menu tomorrow night :)
