Picture Puzzle Day

Green and yellow, what lovely colors. They speak of hope and optimism. If there are two things this world need now are HOPE AND OPTIMISM. I think pessimism has carried us through the winter. Now we have to let it go and rise to a new day.

Fragrances sweet and mellow
Spring rises in them.

Join me please today as we share a spring day just before we begin to celebrate the beginning of the holiest weeks of the year. Let us begin with hope that comes to fruition in the Resurrection.

I would ask you to share a picture of hope, as you see it, and challenge all of us to enjoy it as we put all the pieces together. Something broken that we can make whole. Enter the world of JigZone and play along today!

Tea Talk

Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world.
~T'ien Yiheng

~~~

Yes, it's Thursday again and I find myself looking forward to it every week now. I sit with my tea and ponder nothing. It's very relaxing and relieves stress a new day can bring.

I'm having...Pomegranate Pizzazz herb tea with just a bit of sweetener.

My teacup is...my teapot/teacup set. I got it when we were in California a number of years ago when we visited David and Kelly there. It reminds me of the wonderful aroma of lemons and strawberries. It was an all around beautiful place to be.




I'm feeling... Grand! It is Thursday and there is only one day until the weekend. This week has not be very stressful at work. The doctors are in Florida on Spring bread with their children.

On my mind...getting properly prepared for Holy Week.

Sharing~~Bottled Water

I found this to be most enlightening. And though I don't used much bottled water, we Do keep it at home in case of an emergency. How much bottled water do you drink? Thanks to Sister Mary Alice Zander, SP.

Once Upon a Recipe

I didn't know until I started working on the Stubbs Family Reunion Cookbook how many recipes I have and that I use on a regular basis. I have to start deciding on the ones I really want to enter as there are those of the rest of the family that will be shared as well. The easy Carmel Breakfast Rolls is one I think I'll add. I have played with this recipe in the last few years as a way to use canned biscuits and make them fancy. Here's the recipe for your edification. Try it and let me know what you think. If you have your own easy-does-it recipe, please help us all by sharing it.

Carmel Breakfast Rolls

1 can large refrigerated biscuits
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 10 inch square baking dish with oil. In a small sauce pan melt butter. Add brown sugar and heat on high until it begins to bubble. Cook about 1 minute. Pour into the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle chopped nuts over this mixture. Place the biscuits on top of the nuts and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on rack for 5 minutes and then invert the pan onto serving dish. Serve warm.

Please try this and let me know what you think.
