Well, where shall I begin. So I have decided to revamp the blog and introduce my partner in crime, Andrea. Andrea (A) is the real chef here, I love to look for the recipes. I look on several web sights and in several magazines. Andrea has a collection of magazines and cook books you wouldn't believe, so I will show you. Andrea loves to cook for people who love to eat and love to experiment with food. I just love to eat.
We have been fixing up our small townhouse so that we could begin entertaining in our small house. Since I was working full time plus... we never had a very neat place, it always looked like an office. But now that I am retired we have had a chance to get the place in shape. Our first guests will be Thanksgiving dinner. My niece and her friend are coming from Atlanta and my friend from Brandon and my mom who lives two miles away. I will keep you informed on the planning, preparation and eating of the meal.
Yes I am on a forever diet, I have my good and bad days. But I have dropped about 8 lbs since I begin this blog.
Starting in September Andrea and I started an interval running/walking program. We met these two gals this summer that were using it to train for a marathon, so we decided to give it a try. It was developed by Jeffery Galloway. On the days we don't run we go to the gym and work out with our friend Nan.
So now it is January 7th, 2014, I lied I haven't been blogging because we've been cleaning and painting and doing a little traveling. I should have been because we have had some amazing meals. When I have time in the next few days I will see if I can put them together for you, because there have been a couple I really liked. I call them keepers, that way Andrea knows to mark that one down for repeats.
We did enjoy company for Thanksgiving, as Andrea's children put it, "now we have a grown-up house" well I doubt that, but at least it's a work in progress. We did everything gluten-free this year, which was interesting. Everybody seemed to like it especially my neighbor, who keeps a gluten-free kitchen. She was so excited because we had gravy and dressing that she could eat, oh and dessert. I of course liked everything.
We started out with an Aperol Spritz very tasty and a cheese tray. Dinner consisted of a fresh organic Turkey, cornbread stuffing, green-beans with a pesto, roasted brussel sprouts with red grapes, smashed garlic potatoes, sliced oranges with olive oil and black pepper (an old Italian recipe). 2 desserts, peanut butter chocolate malt ice-cream thing that was amazing, and butterscotch pie that had a crust to die for, so all in all it was a success, there were 7 for dinner and 3 more for dessert .
