Thanksgiving treat

Gratitude

Gratitude is the memory of the heart.  ~Jean Baptiste Massieu


Thinking back on memories from last year's Thanksgiving... family, laughter, Bloody Mary's, a baby, a grandma, cousins, traditions.  Sending love and thankfulness to my special family this Thanksgiving, and couldn't be more grateful for your place in my life.  You make it rich in so many ways...

The slow curve of a back road


Say farewell to the confines of my own back yard.
Weeds growin' 'round the flowers.
Sometimes the only way to break the curse
is to leave it all behind.

Find the slow curve of a back road,
one hand on the wheel.
Drive till I remember how it feels.
So this is how it feels.

This month's ingredient: Ginger!  Why?  Not only does ginger spice up any dish, it is one of nature's medicines. And, doctors now think that ginger has the potential to prevent some cancers.  Whether chopped in big bits in a cookie, blended into a rich sauce, infused into a drink, or dressing up an earthy soup, ginger is sure to surprise your taste buds this winter!  Give these a try and let me know what you're cooking!

Bon apetit!  .ryn

Wait for me


Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
