Susan Branch's Mini Calendar

"Remember Miss Piggy's words

to the wise and "Never eat

more than you can lift."  ♥

Btw, her calendar pages are really much more white/bright, than they show up here.  My camera and the kitchen over-head lighting, combine to make her calendar look very mellow-ish, yellow-ish, and dark-ish.  But....  'Tis not so!!!!!!!  :-)

I'd never have thought of beets or leftover potatoes, for Salad Toppings.  But if Susan sezzzzzzzzz so, betcha' they are good!  :-)))

And Dear Irma Bomback's quote;  "I worry about scientists 

discovering that lettuce has been fattening

all along."  ♥

Finally got my hands on some MEAD!!!  Whoooo-hooooo...  Mead is the drink, to celebrate "The Old Ways."  And I've wanted it, for ages.  

There's my Irish Crystal glass, with some Mead in it.  Looks rather like Sauterne.  And since it's made from honey, naturally it's sweet!  :-)  It struck me as sweet, with a hint of apple.  Although, it does not contain apple...   Wondering........?   Perhaps the bees, whose honey was used, have an apple orchard to gather nectar from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

And on the back label....   "...ancient family recipe..."    "...special celebratory Mead of old..."    "According to legend, Sweet Mead was served to eliminate the bitter taste of battle."    

Now!!!  That's a drink, with a History.  :-))))))))

Started Brad Meltzer's "The Fifth Assassin" last evening.   

I've never read any books by him, but we enjoy "Brad Meltzer's Decoded" on the History Ch.

  Love all that "digging-into-mysteries-of-history-etc." kind of thing.  :-)  Do you Dear Reader, enjoy such, also??????????

I also started another book.

   So we shall see....  Will one win out?  Or will I go on to read both of them?  :-)

Obviously, they are very different Fiction Genres...
