Tuesday Tidbits

A little bit of this and a little bit of that....


Renovating

I've spent countless hours knee deep in html, lately, because my blog deperately needs a new look.  I have a test blog that I use so I don't have to shut this one down.  Ironically, it hasn't left me much time for new posts, so I guess it wouldn't matter if I closed up shop for a few days.  I'm nearly done, I have one glitch holding me up, but I'm going to try to figure that out this afternoon.  I hope to be unveiling my new look soon!


Recipes

A big thank you to those of you who answered my request for new recipes. I can't wait to try the fabulous ones I received.  However, even though my birthday is over, I'm still on the hunt for more new recipes to add to our upcoming Saturday night food and drink demos.  I'm especially interested in old family recipes and authentic ethnic dishes.  If you've got a great recipe and a don't mind sharing, I'd love to have it!  You can email them to thisstopwilloughby@yahoo.com.  If there is a story that goes along with the recipe, please let me know.


Hauntingly Beautiful

It was incredibly foggy this morning.  I couldn't help but notice how really pretty it was, though.  I snapped a few pictures from my back porch.



Aren't they haunting, yet beautiful?  I think so, anyway.


I Need To Get Out More

I opened the refrigerator this morning and noticed a really odd coincidence.  Both the gallon of white milk and the gallon of chocolate milk are at nearly the exact same level.  The only way I could have gotten them any closer would have been to measure the amount used.  Yeah, I need to get out more when I find that interesting!


No, the milk is not actually yellow.  Blame the combination of the refrigerator light and the flash on my camera.

I've missed you my friend. And I agree about the fog. I enjoy it too, especially when I'm home (don't like driving in it). Continued luck w/html. See you soon!

I admit it. I saw the milk picture and thought it was cool too! I won't spend too much time analyzing myself of that one. :)

The pics are beautiful! However, they are "haunting" and could totally be the cover of a Stephen King novel. I'm just sayin'.

Cannot wait to see the new look...how exciting. Sorry, I forgot my recipe (craziness here!). My milk and chocolate milk are probably at the same level..empty because no one throws anything away in my house!

My friend, I, too, found the levels of your milk jugs interesting.

:-)

Which reminds me: I need to get out. I'm thinking margaritas...

:-D

Wow, you do your own html and web designing--I am so impressed! I keep a 15 year old on retainer for my tech stuff :)

Thanks for stopping by at my place today. In the blogging world, 3 weeks is next to forever, so I'm grateful that anyone remembered me :)

And the milk? Really cool!

Hi Willoughby, I'm just back from Spring Break vacation and catching up on my reading.

Hats off to you for doing html! It scares me to much to even try! I'll be on the lookout for your makeover.

Great pics and kinda scary looking :-)

Hope your weekend is great! Happy Easter

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

By
We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Public Service Announcement

By
I'm not quite ready to come back yet, but I wanted to take a few minutes to post my version of a Public Service Announcement.  As many of you already know, I've been away from blogging due to illness.  However, what you may not know is that the illness is H1N1.  Yep, the Swine Flu. I can honestly say that I've never felt so terrible in my life.  I had heard that for most people, H1N1 is no worse than the regular seasonal flu.  I guess I'm not most people.  After 15 days, I'm only now beginning to feel slightly human.  I was unable to get vaccinated because our area ran out of vaccine months ago.  I understand that it has recently become available again, but it's too late for me.  It's not too late for you, though.  If the vaccine is available in your area and you haven't gotten it yet, I beg you to drop what you're doing and take your family to get vaccinated. If you ignore my advice and decide to develop your immunity by gettin...
