Thursday, May 12, 2022

Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2004. Mattie was two years old and as you can see he was examining what was in Peter's hand. We were at a pond with fish, and we purchased fish food. Mattie was suspect of the food. For the most part, Mattie left the feeding of fish up to Peter and me. However, Mattie was a keen observer and watched eagerly to see how the fish would respond. 

Quote of the day: In life, you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with. ~ Brian Tracy

In addition to my usual chaos, I also planned a dinner party for my parents, as their friends drove from New York today to visit. You should have seen me juggling things today, I looked manic and frenetic. 

What's on the menu.... string beans with mint and lemon zest. 

Pecan crusted halibut. Which still needs to be cooked. 

Honey and ginger carrots. An easy and delicious recipe. 

Tomato/basil soup. Also easy and equally delicious. 

Corn with tomatoes and basil! Yes I love basil, if you couldn't figure this out. 

Fruit salsa (pineapple, watermelon, and mango) with cilantro to accompany the fish. 

I posted my blueberry pie last night, which is tonight's dessert. In my opinion, no meal is complete without something sweet.
