End of 2014

I ended my 2014 Christmas trip by spending a night in Kissimmee with a very good friend and her husband. Then New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in Jacksonville with Angie. Both ladies are great friends who let me bring my girls when I come to visit.

On New Year's day Angie and I took a 6 mile hike with the girls through the Julington-Durbin Preserve. I didn't take any photos.

I had hoped to post photos of the house and my outside lights but I must have accidentally deleted them all. Oops.

Now, a few posts back I asked you to remember the Border Collie next to Micheal on the mantle. Before I left town for the holidays I found a Shar Pei to put on the other side of Micheal so 'the girls' could keep him company while I was gone.

We have now completed our time travel and are back in 2015. I am stronger and have more up days than down days. I'm a struggling Pampered Chef consultant. I know exactly where I am moving to as soon as I am able. I have already started gathering boxes so I can pack knick-knacks and books, and anything else I will not need before the fall of this year.

Now its all up to GOD and the public administrator as to how fast I can get relocated.

In the meantime I am starting to cook again and will once again make blog posts of the food. Also posts of life in general and the great move to Florida.

Happy New Year!

Life Update

Hmm, how does one bring her friends and readers up to date on her life after just over  3-1/2 years of no posts on the blog. It would be almost impossible to attempt to create a post for every new recipe or trip over this period of time. I decided to post a few photos showing some of the high points and not so good points. So, lets take a trip down memory lane.  In early 2019 I took an 8-night cruise by myself. We stopped in Freeport and Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. Then headed south to Aruba, Curacao and Grand Turk. I met some neat people and enjoyed the trip. On May 2,2019, exactly 8 months, to the day that I had lost Kelekona, I had to let Liliuokalani cross the rainbow bridge. I was devastated. I tried rescuing another dog but it didn't work out.  By November I had cheered up and treated myself to Wicked. It was fantastic. I spent Thanksgiving 2019 at my daughter's house. Who knew children could be so unhappy while shopping for a Christmas tree, even after fresh Dunk...

My Beautiful Kelekona

Image
Dogs are wonderful creatures. They love unconditionally and are great companions. I was lucky enough to be able to spend just over 7 years and 5 months with one of the neatest dogs ever, until she succumbed to cancer. Her name was Kelekona and she was a Horse Coat pure bred Chinese Shar Pei. I knew of the breed but never really got to know one until I got my Kele girl. She was a 5 month old baby when she came into my life. She need entropy surgery which I got done for her. As she got older she developed a really neat personality. She loved eating snow and ice cubes. Before the surgery she kept her eyes closed a lot because her eye lashes were rubbing over her eyes and it hurt. She loved car rides with her sister. When Mike and I got married she stayed between us the entire ceremony, protecting us. She lover her toys and had the most beautiful eyes to match her coat. She was always looking for some loving in all the right places. She was as content on the boat as she was...

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Molasses Sauce

Image
Last weekend I went grocery shopping. Nothing new there, I do that every week. This week, however I simply got carried away and spent way too much money. On the bright side, my chest freezer is now over half-full but there is still room for a turkey later on. One of the items on sale was pork tenderloin and since I hadn't had one in quite some time I picked up a package. I remembered I had this recipe which I found way, way back when I was in my first marriage and had not, to the best of my recollection, made this dish in at least 15 years maybe longer. So using the old, No Time Like The Present phrase I decided to make this. You start out by making a molasses sauce/marinade for the pork. It takes a lot of stirring or all the rosemary floats to the top. I love molasses. Next you take your pork tenderloin and wipe it with paper towels. Since my one tenderloin was almost as heavy as the two smaller ones called for in the recipe I made the full amount of sauce. Place the pork ...
