Out and About - January 2015


January's departure caught me unaware.  I woke up this morning and realized it's FEBRUARY.  I've back-dated this post so that it will show up in my January archives.....a girl has to stay organized!  And that is what I did a lot of this month--organized and decluttered my desk once I finished catching up on my photo albums for last year.  I started the month, though, going into town to look for marked-down Christmas items and found this bird's nest.  I decorated my Christmas tree this past Christmas with birds and things from nature and I had thought it would be nice to include a bird's nest, so when I found this at half-price, you can imagine my excitement.   I promptly added to my tree since we were leaving it up until after 12th Night. . . .

View Outside My Window - January


This year I'm going to give you a different view outside one of my windows each month.  This month it is from the room where my desk and computer reside.  It is the former bedroom of my youngest son who moved out about four years ago after graduating from college.  There are two windows.  This one is the one I'm looking out of right now as I type. . . .

Tasha Tudor Potluck


The Maryland Chapter of the Tasha Tudor Museum Society held a potluck dinner the other night to celebrate Twelfth Night (only it was Ninth Night in our case).  The receipts (Tasha's New England word for recipe) all came from her cookbook.  Those who were able to attend took home a recipe at our last gathering and prepared one of the following:
  • Nancy's Hot Cheese Rounds
  • Stuffed Eggs
  • Salad with French Dressing
  • Baking-Powder Biscuits
  • Beef Stew
  • Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
  • Chocolate Cookies
Each member was to bring a guest.  Those who came brought their husband.  Unfortunately two couples had to bow out due to change of plans or illness, so I set the table for ten. . . .
