the test of time

I couldn’t find my hair pick the other day.  Does anyone else use a hair pick anymore?  I use mine everyday when I get out of the shower.  And I can’t find it.  Argh! And I’ve had it since high school.  That’s about 20 3 years.  If it doesn’t show up I guess I can always say we had a good run.  ;) But it got me thinking, what else do we have around here that has stood the test of time?  And, probably more appropriately, the test of travel across the US and to a Caribbean island? What have we had since before we were we, over 13 years ago?

Now, we all know this isn’t a food blog. (Was that a collective sigh of relief from those who know me in real life I just heard?)  ;) But I have a few go-to recipes that even I can’t screw up most of the time. I’ve even tested them at parties and gatherings and no one got sick with resounding success.  So it seems safe to share them with y’all.  Especially for those of you in the same boat. You know who you are … not super adventurous in the kitchen but willing to give things a try and always on the look out for simple, tasty recipes to mix things up every now and again. With that, I introduce to you, my 3 ingredient hummus.

welcome to fall

I have to admit, it seems kind of out of left field to get so geared up for fall.  I mean, we live on a Caribbean island and all.  It’s the land of perma-summer. But a tree … yes, a tree … totally caught me off guard yesterday and it had me coming up with fall centerpiece ideas … and then creating a little front door decor.  It’s like my personal welcome to fall.  With love, summer.  :)

Do you live on a Caribbean island where real pumpkins rot in about .2 seconds from the time you leave the grocery store? No? Maybe you’re just looking for a new take on the old Halloween craft project? Or, maybe you’re like me and just love to take something natural and make it into something unique.
