Blogsurfing Saturday
SO, Chris got home yesterday afternoon and we are having a great time catching up. He has been attended to with great devotion by Kyrie (youngest daughter)and Amanda(granddaughter), who seem to be vying for his attention. At the end of the month he will be headed overseas for three years.
Don;t forget to register to win free coffee! I have changed the rules a bit . You only have to leave a comment and then post about the giveaway on your blog. It is still dedicated to Marc, though, so you can wish him happy birthday in the comments!
Vee shares three links for blog events on A Haven for Vee. They look like great fun!
At Tea in My Cup, Alice has some beautiful cucumber cups filled with crab. Just perfect for a bridal shower tea or nearly any other kind as far as I am concerned.
Gracious Hospitality has not only a new attitude (LOL!) but a fantastic post on the past and how it inspires us.
So, when you head to your local Starbucks are you after brand recognition as badly as a teen that is determined to wear Ambercrombie and Fitch (or whatever?) Dr. Chen says that you are! See if you agree.
What if you could have your espresso anywhere you happened to be? Now you can with Handpresso!
You have to know that I am extremely patriotic. My dad was military, my husband was military..I was military…my oldest son is military..and if you are married to a Marine of any age you understand that Marines, retired or not, take patriotism to a new level. You also have to know that I am probably one of the most conservative people on the planet. (STOP LAUGHING). However when I read that Dunkin Donuts had cancelled ads that they had Rachel Ray do for them because in the ad she was wearing a scarf that seemed similar to the ones that Muslim extremists wear….well I will be honest. I am laughing. Still. First of all, I would like to encourage all Muslim extremists to drink Dunkin Donuts coffee. I am quite sure that after the first sip or two they will quickly and quietly leave the country, feeling that surely there is nothing worse they can do to us than that. Second. Well, can we please stop sucking up to every single opinionated group of people? Seriously. The ease with which we in this country get offended is crazy. It is amazing how much we seem to WANT to be offended. There are a lot of things that offend me. Violence. Abuse. Prejudice. Ignorance. I am offended when I can’t evict a tenant that has not paid rent since February because she has it tangled up in the red tape of the court system, knowing how to use the system. (True, we may lose an investment home over this.) I am offended at the hunger in my world. The waste that goes on in terms of finances and foodstuffs. Check out the dumpster behind your grocer sometime. Rachel Ray in a scarf does not offend me. If I have to squint to make her look like a militant radical extremist Muslim then I have too much time on my hands….
ahem…carry on….
Have you been drinking pesticides? Here is another reason to head for the organic coffee!! Fumigation….EWW!
Kevin, a t Closet Cooking, is one of my favorite food bloggers. He visits me at Baking Delights once in awhile. His images are incredible. Anyway he has some green tea macarons that you have to see to believe. Just wow.
I was checking out Stash and they have this oh-so-cute Scottie Dog tea for one set. I fell in love with it on sight.
Have you visited TeaChef at Adagio? Lots of recipes using tea. I am licking my lips over the tea glazed Irish Pound cake!
O.k..I am heading out. I won;t be doing the shopping post today because I want to spend some time with Chris. See you next time!
