Pot Sitters, Tote, and a New Favorite Recipe.

I don't need to buy 

decorative pot sitters.

I have a few of the real things.

We've always had plenty of frogs here

hiding in the flower pots, the barbecue grill,

the vacuum tubes stored outside, the leaf blower.

Flinging frogs anyone?

   The most unwanted and

    unexpected place was my garden shoes

that had been left outdoors.

I always check my shoes now 

if they've been left outside.  

 Lesson learned, 

and that story is buried somewhere 

in one of my blog posts from a few years ago.

This is tote # 14 that I've sewn.

It may have been more though... 

I even remembered to sew it with the stripes

matching up evenly. 

Small victories ~ Yeah!

I had yet another disastrous recipe try 

the other day.  It was edible,

and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Those misjudged recipe mistakes 

don't usually happen to me. 

What can I say?, but thank goodness I wasn't serving it to guests.

Anyway, at least I've been trying some 

new stuff, cause being in a rut is no fun.

The other day I needed a way to 

fix a package of frozen raw shrimp from

Trader Joes.  We picked it up on a whim

with no real idea how to serve them. 

I googled shrimp pasta recipes and this

was what I found.

Here's the link to the blog that I first found

this delicious recipe from.

I think both blogs look like fun to explore,

if you're searching for new ideas of what to cook.

  

We both loved this shrimp dish.

See ya soon,

probably after the election next week.

Till then, take care.

P.S. for Rick.

Thanks for fixing the computer yet again.

It's hanging in there... yeah!
