A Tribute to my Beautiful Ginger Girl

Vibin' on...

Thinking of Florida

I spent many years in Florida and I raised my children there. I have many startling photographs of the area of Homestead, Florida in 1992 (immediately following H. Andrew) where my husband assisted in the rebuilding process (which was long and extensive.) These photos (a few of my favorite) are from the Gulf Coast.

St. Augustine (on the east coast) is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen (it is loaded with historic architecture)...not to mention so many other wonderful cities on the (east) coast of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina...

Feeling fall-ish.

Yes...

Standard Fare

Thyme Polenta with Butter Grilled Chivey Shrimp, Garden Fresh Petite Stuffed Tomato, and Ginger Curd and Butter Gourmet Baby Carrots (compliments of the Sheboygan, WI farmer's market, 2016)  

Oh my! This is 'standard dinner fare' around here! 

We visited the Sheboygan (WI) farmer's market this weekend 

and were delighted to find row after row of fresh vegetables and many flowers 

to choose from, as well...

We procured these delightful tiny gourmet colored carrots there for this dish. 

I apologize for the (kind of light) photograph as it was taken with a flash 

after daylight hours! I was desperate to photograph it and used what 

little light I had! I'm hoping the vivid colors, textures and my kind 

of 'gleaming surfaces...' will suffice to entice your taste palate 

and fuel your culinary passions! 

Eat with your eyes! Eat to enjoy!

Yay me!!!

If you look on the side, I 'got' my "Followers" list 

and their corresponding 'Favicons'

BACK.

("Why, Hello!!" ;-) ) 

For months and months (...when I started this blog anew from Milwaukee, WI) 

I could not get this mysterious list to reappear! 

(Copy-paste-copy-paste-error message!!!) 

Celebrating you.

lg!

As promised....

Color, color, color!!!!! 

...some 2016 fall garden produce. 

(from...

Milwaukee, Wisconsin!)

I (always) come up against it...

        this mountain.

Ridiculous.

 Tonight's fare: Rare Cedarburg,WI jalapeño cheddar brat paired with a specially made bun and vegetable paella (short grain rice dish.)

Vegetable paella made in a (large) cast iron skillet; Paella recipe (we made a purely vegetable variation) found on page 9 of art culinaire; fall issue; volume 70.

Rare siting: A 12 inch Cedarburg, WI jalapeño cheddar brat browned in a pan with Black Boss Porter (by way of Poland.)  

(...I like gleaming surfaces.) 

My kind.

Garden gone...

 Overhead shot today!

6 foot + tall tomato plants! Not ready yet...

Hidden Kuri Squash everywhere!!!!

Can you guess what this is?

WILD!!!!

(Milwaukee soil must be good!! 

...This is the biggest garden we have had yet!) 

Not even Boone (NC) compares!?

Too Cute

Our Lone Sunflower (planted by accident in a vegetable garden...) :-)

A rare sunflower beauty. :-)

(My husband was able to discern this was 

a sunflower early on and left it to grow.)

"Why, hello."

Delectable Squash Leaf

Squash Leaf Poster 2016

Delicate and delectable squash blossoms that tantalize...

by hiding just out of view in the summer sun.
