Another Award!!

Image
By
A great big thank you to Lissaloo and Gracey for giving me this award! I'm having so much fun reading and writing blogs, but the awards are the icing on the cake.




The rules for accepting this award are:
  1. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
  2. Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap."
  3. List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

Number 1 is the hardest part of accepting an award. I love all of my buddy's blogs, so I hate to choose only 7! But since I must follow the rules, I am awarding this honor to (in alphabetical order):

  1. A dash of life
  2. Muddy Runner
  3. My Tasty Treasures
  4. One Step at a Time
  5. Tattoos and Teething Rings
  6. The 5th Sister
  7. Tried and True Cooking With Heidi
  8. Walking Across America
  9. Who Has the Thyme?
  10. Yesterday's Tomorrow

Ok, I cheated! I'm passing the award to 10 people and listing 7 honest things about myself. I can do that, can't I? It still equals 17, so I'm going with it!

  1. My favorite color is purple. It has been as long as I can remember.
  2. As a result of numerous ear infections when I was younger, I have limited hearing in my right ear.
  3. I've lived in the suburbs, the city, and now in a small town.
  4. I pierced my ears myself. I had the first set (one per ear) professionally done. When multiple pierced ears became popular, I added one more piercing to one ear and two to the other. I did it during a lecture in science class in high school.
  5. I hate doing laundry. I do it, but I hate it.
  6. When I get really tired I often hallucinate.
  7. I hate having my picture taken. With the exception of my driver's license and a few family photos I was forced into, I haven't let anyone take my picture in almost 10 years.

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...

Do These Cookies Come With Instructions?

By
I have a simple question to ask you.  What is a Christmas cookie?  I've celebrated Christmas every year of my life, but today was the first time I ever thought about the what the term actually means (my son says I have too much time on my hands).   When I looked it up online, the definition read "A sugar cookie, usually cut in festive shapes, that is made and eaten at Christmas."  Really?  Could I have been doing it wrong all these years? Does Christmas mean December 25th, or does it include the entire holiday season?  Would it still be a Christmas cookie if you ate it on Thanksgiving?  Or New Years Eve?  What about other types of cookies?  If I make Chocolate Truffle cookies, for example, can they technically be called Christmas cookies?   And should I wait until Christmas to serve them?    Who are Christmas cookies for?  I know a lot of people, myself included,  make up platter...

Timeline

By
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 ...
