The bright colors of Fiesta dishes put me in the best mood.  It's a great way to start the day!

Experimenting with some moody colors.  These daisies seem to be lit by moonlight with the muted purples surrounding them.  It reminded me of a line from one of my favorite songs "Kiss Me", by Sixpence None The Richer.

My daughter's name is Maggie (short for Margaret), but I always loved the Spanish version just as much.

Splice The Mainbrace

I first heard this term on International Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th).  Originally it was an order for one of the most difficult and dangerous repair jobs aboard a ship.  The crew members who followed through would be awarded an extra ration of rum or grog afterwards.  The term eventually morphed to mean a celebratory drink on special occasions.

After all of the turkey leftovers and extended family togetherness this past week,  I'm ready to "hit the sauce"!  ;)   Seriously, it is time for a menu change.  I make my own pasta sauce that we all love over spaghetti.  Yum.
